For our 400th episode, we chat with Amelia Boone--four-time Obstacle Racing World Champion, ultrarunner and attorney--about her battle with anorexia for the past 20 years.

In this 20-minute podcast, we discuss: · Amelia’s motivation for sharing her story · The impact of success on perception of food and body image · Common myths about athletes and eating disorders · What treatments did (and didn’t) work well with different clinicians · How clinicians should change the way we are talking about eating disorders
