The way in which we’ve been taught to view our bodies has been heavily influenced by media sources since we were just children. But what if we told you that it actually goes much deeper than that?
Today our Friday’s with Friends guest, Kelly Greenslade, is here to walk us through exactly what this looks like and why it’s such a problem still today.
Together we explore the toxicity behind ‘diet culture’ and the lifelong psychological impacts it can have on us as a result. She shares with us some of the things about this world that frustrate her the most- and more importantly, what we can actually do about it.
This conversation is direct, bold, and full of passion- and I guarantee that you don’t want to miss a minute of it. If you’re someone who has struggled with loving their body or trying to hate your way to change- then this is the episode for you.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
Here’s A Little About Kelly + Her Journey:
Kelly Greenslade is the founder of KG Performance, a high-standard coaching brand built on the belief that health should support your life, not consume it.
Before becoming a world-level physique athlete and coach, Kelly spent years in silent burnout and depression, feeling disconnected from herself while holding everything together for everyone else. A family holiday in the snow became her wake-up call, the moment she realized she wasn’t truly living, just surviving. That moment sparked a complete personal rebuild.
Through years of unlearning diet culture, healing her relationship with food, and shifting from punishment-based fitness to athlete-level structure, Kelly transformed not just her body, but her mental health, confidence, and identity. Her journey ultimately led her to the world stage, earning a WNBF World #3 Fitbody placing, proof that precision, not punishment, creates real change.
Today, Kelly coaches ambitious humans who are done with quick fixes, scale obsession, and burnout cycles. Her work is centred on breaking the BS around health and fitness, helping people rebuild trust with food, train with intention, and raise their personal minimum standards, so they stop starting over and start living differently.
Kelly is known for her honest, science-backed approach, direct coaching style, and deep understanding of the mental and emotional side of transformation. Her mission is simple: to help people exit survival mode and build a life that feels strong, stable, and truly theirs.
