Episode 44 - Exercise addiction and compulsive movement

In this week's episode of my podcast, Fly to Freedom, I talk about the common issue of excessive exercise and compulsive movement in eating disorders. I share my own personal experience with exercise addiction, where I would work out for hours every day.   I discuss the reasons why I and others with eating disorders engage in this behaviour, explaining the evolutionary "adapted to flee famine" hypothesis. I also talk about what it's like to have a constant need to move around and give tips that helped me in my own recovery, like honouring extreme hunger.   If you or someone you know struggles with compulsive exercise or movement as part of an eating disorder, have a listen to this compassionate and insightful episode! I share parts of my story along with practical advice based on my own recovery journey and my expertise as an eating disorder recovery coach.
