Meet your host, Erzsi Pongó the founder of Pongo Power personal training in Brooklyn, New York. Our identity is impacted by our self-image and body image...but what happens when we disown or disassociate from our bodies? How do we form a healthy relationship with our bodies in a culture that supports a sedentary lifestyle? On Movement: The Science of The Self, we provide you with the empowerment you need to move your body as you cultivate your sense of self. Through an exploration of the intersections between body image, self-image and identity, we foster conversations about the ever-evolving process of surrendering our sense of self, so we can invent the freedom necessary to transform all three!

Deborah C Smith, Health Coach and Empowerment Champion, has always enjoyed expressing movement through dance. However, while dancing positively shaped her identity, Deborah still felt disconnected from other parts of her body. After studying holistic nutrition, Deborah realized that by making informed decisions about what goes into her body, she could regain control of her health. In today’s episode, host Elizabeth Pongo sits down with Deborah to discuss the true meaning of nutrition and health.
While it is certainly important to eat a good amount of nutrient dense foods such as fruits and vegetables, Deborah explains that dieting isn’t one size fits all. To achieve optimal results, Deborah works with clients to first discover what fuels their bodies and then create a lifestyle plan around it. By allowing food to fuel your cells, you can reduce the risk of disease, achieve your goal weight, and save money…all at the same time!
Tune into the premiere episode of Movement: The Science of The Self for a conversation with Deborah about her new program The Art and Science of the Healthy Bowl. Learn more about the role your mindset, mobility, and eating habits have on your overall health and wellness.
