Episode 92: Caitlin Jacobsen on Eating Disorder Recovery, Mindfulness, and the Journey to Healing

Caitlin Jacobsen is the founder of Endurecovery. She holds a M.S. in Integrative Physiological Sciences from UCLA, a B.A. in Neuroscience from Claremont McKenna College and is a certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach through the Carolyn Costin Institute. Before starting Endurecovery, Caitlin was a Staff Research Associate in the Stimulant-Abuse and Addiction Lab at UCLA and the UCLA Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity. She completed her thesis on neural substrates involved in impulse control and addiction. Endurecovery grew out of the need for focused and individualized support for the athlete with an eating disorder. Caitlin’s personal recovery journey and professional experience highlighted the gap in treatment of competitive endurance athletes who suffer from eating disorders. Caitlin is also a mother to two very strong, athletic daughters and one very artistic son. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her children and husband, Alan, who is a PhD level scientist and inventor at Amazon. She still runs competitively with Rose City Track Club, preferring trails over roads and real food over gels. Connect with Caitlin @endurecovery on Instagram or www.endurecovery.com
