About this episode
Model-turned-nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin joins Treated for an intimate, raw, and deeply insightful conversation about stress, burnout, and the missing piece in our health: self-compassion. After years in the high-pressure world of modeling, Sarah found herself in the ICU—her body shutting down from extreme stress, malnutrition, and disconnection from herself. What followed was a decade-long journey of healing, studying nutrition, and uncovering the role of cortisol, self-kindness, and emotional health in true well-being. In this episode, we explore: How stress impacts your body and why “clean eating” isn’t enough The science of compassion and how it rewires your brain and metabolism Why burnout happens long before we realize it—and how to reverse it Blue Mind Theory: How water, nature & nervous system resets transform stress A simple exercise to track self-critical thoughts and shift towards self-kindness Sarah also shares her upcoming book, The Compassion Cure, and why tracking your negative thoughts is as important as tracking your macros. If you’ve ever struggled with stress, burnout, or feeling “not enough,” this episode will change the way you approach your health. // LEARN MORE FROM SARAH ANN MACKLIN // Listen to her podcast here .
