Growing up in the dance industry led Zoë to internalise the message that success came from living in a smaller body, resulting in her own disordered eating and a long journey of body image struggles. After building a holistic dance school that promotes equality, empowerment and acceptance for 20 years, Zoë transitioned into coaching to support individuals navigating recovery, particularly those not responding to traditional therapy or facing lengthy waitlists. She is an ISTD-qualified dance teacher, an eating disorder practitioner, and a research associate at the University of Gloucestershire for the Body Project, with a special interest in body appreciation among dancers.

So much information and knowledge packed into one episode! 💫 In this episode we talk to Dr. Stephanie Potreck (MD, RNutr (Sport) who is a doctor, dance nutritionist and educator specialising in dancer health and hormone function. She works at the intersection of science, art and lived experience. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between science and studio culture, challenging harmful narratives, and equipping dancers with evidence-based tools to thrive both on stage and beyond. She runs the educational platform Dance Nutrition, Medicine & Science on Substack, where she translates research into practical strategies to support dancers’ performance and long-term wellbeing; much of her time though you’ll find her working 1:1 with dancers behind closed doors - creating the safe, supportive space they so urgently need, always with a good dose of humour.
