Eating Disorders & Athletes: The Pressure to Perform

Athletes are known for their discipline, strength, and endurance, but what often remains hidden are the mental and physical struggles behind the scenes. In this SOLO episode, we uncover the unique pressures athletes face when it comes to body image, performance expectations, and the development of eating disorders. We’ll explore how the drive to excel can sometimes lead to harmful behaviors, discuss warning signs, and offer insights into creating a supportive environment that prioritizes health over perfection. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or advocate, this conversation will shed light on important steps toward balance and well-being. Stay tuned for my SOLO episodes on Fridays, as well as the weekly interviews on Tuesdays. :) Here is a SOLO episode when I share my overall eating disorder recovery journey (listen via Apple or Spotify).  Plus a SOLO episode when I talk about how I treat eating disorders (listen via Apple or Spotify).
