Do You Have A Healthy Relationship With Exercise?

Welcome to Season 8 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast! In this episode, I'm joined by Registered Dietitian Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDS-C for an important conversation about exercise dependence, a pattern of compulsive movement that can threaten an athlete’s mental and physical health.I heard Leslie speak on this topic at a conference and immediately knew I wanted to bring her on the show. This is partly because I struggled with exercise dependence in the past, and also because of how frequently I see people exercise beyond what is safe or recommended. Leslie and I discuss:What exercise dependence is, and who is most at riskHow to tell if exercise is healthy or potentially harmfulWhat Leslie's message, "If you fuel it, you can do it" means in practiceThe connection between underfueling and over exerciseSigns that you might be weight suppressedWhat compassionate change can look likeAlso, toward the end of the episode, we walk you through a validated questionnaire to help you evaluate if you may be experiencing some level of exercise addiction. 🎧 Tune in to learn more!Links & ResourcesFollow Leslie Schilling on Instagram and visit Leslie's WebsiteJoin my membership, Fuel for Life Crew, for just $39/month (cancel anytime)Check out my free nutrition downloadsBrowse my library of nutrition masterclasses (all are included inside the Fuel for Life Crew membership)Interested in comprehensive, in-depth 1:1 coaching?
