Episode 81: Dr. Riley Nickols from the McCallum Place Victory Program - Eating Disorder Treatment for Athletes

In this episode, we cover the Victory Program, a unique athlete eating disorder treatment center with the McCallum Place in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Riley Nickols joins us to share more about their program. Questions we ask Riley, include: How did you get your start in this field? How do you help athletes find identity outside of sport? What distinguishes The Victory Program from other eating disorder treatment centers? Can you provide the main differences between residential, outpatient, and partial hospitalization? How does someone know which is right for them? This can be a rather controversial topic in the eating disorder world. How do you believe that the athlete’s performance concerns can be interwoven into the treatment process? And/or what does this look like at the McCallum Place Victory Program? What advice do you have for someone struggling with an eating disorder, or someone who knows a friend who is struggling?
