Kathryn: 在2021年9月感染新冠后，我经历了长时间的脑雾和疲惫，这加剧了我原本就存在的压力。订婚、买房等一系列重大生活决定让我不堪重负，我开始感到精神状态极差，甚至觉得自己快要疯了。我开始寻求心理治疗，并发现自己患有高皮质醇和低甲状腺激素等问题。这些身体问题与我当时的精神状态相互影响，让我感到非常痛苦。在与未婚夫Diego的相处中，我也经历了多次分分合合，最终决定暂时分开，并卖掉了房子，以缓解压力。在这一过程中，我体重增加了50磅，并经历了暴饮暴食和情绪波动。我尝试了各种方法来改善自己的状态，包括寻找新的工作，并重新审视自己与健身和社交媒体的关系。 这段经历让我深刻认识到，关注自身的心理健康和身体健康同等重要。我开始学习直觉饮食，并尝试各种不同的运动方式，例如普拉提和瑜伽，以找到适合自己的健康生活方式。 现在，我感到更加平和，并能够更好地与自己相处。我学会了倾听自己的身体和内心的声音，并不再将自我价值与外貌联系在一起。 Kendra: 在姐姐Kathryn经历精神健康问题的过程中，我承担了大部分工作和社交媒体内容的创作。虽然我当时感觉良好，但随着时间的推移，我也开始出现类似的症状，例如疲惫和压力。我意识到自己需要放慢脚步，并开始关注自身的心理健康。我们一起决定暂停社交媒体，并给自己一个月的休息时间。 这段时间里，我开始重新审视自己与健身和社交媒体的关系。我意识到，我过去的行为模式并不健康，我需要找到一种更可持续的健康生活方式。我开始学习直觉饮食，并尝试各种不同的运动方式，以找到适合自己的节奏。 现在，我感到更加平和，并能够更好地与自己相处。我学会了倾听自己的身体和内心的声音，并不再将自我价值与外貌联系在一起。我和Kathryn的关系也更加紧密，我们互相支持，共同成长。 Mari Llewellyn: 作为一名健身和营养领域的专家，我与KK Fit Twins分享了她们从极端健美到更全面的健康生活方式的转变过程。她们坦诚地分享了她们在这一过程中遇到的挑战，包括精神健康问题、身份认同危机以及与饮食和身材相关的焦虑。她们的故事让我深受触动，也让我意识到，在健身行业中，关注心理健康的重要性不容忽视。 KK Fit Twins 的经历为许多面临类似困境的人们提供了宝贵的经验和启示。她们的故事也提醒我们，健康不仅仅是身体上的健康，更重要的是心理上的健康和内心的平和。

Ep. #43

Meet Kathryn and Kendra, better known as the KK Fit Twins. From cardio bunnies to heavy lifters, their journey is nothing short of inspiring. This episode explores their transition from a hardcore bodybuilding lifestyle to a more holistic, wellness-focused approach. We trace their steps from wanting to look the part, to cultivating a genuine passion for health and wellness.

We take a leap into the deep end discussing mental health, a topic often neglected within the fitness industry, especially for public figures. Can you imagine the pressure of maintaining a certain body type while grappling with an internal identity crisis? Kathryn and Kendra open up about how they dealt with these challenges, applauding each other’s willingness to evolve and be vulnerable. 

Finally, the KK Fit Twins share their personal struggles, the unique pressures of twin fitness, and how their upbringing influenced their previous extreme bodybuilding approach. We also examine how their view on health and fitness has evolved, the obstacles faced, and the powerful lessons learned. Let's delve into the enlightening conversation that marks a significant shift from the traditional fitness narrative to a more wholesome perspective.
