My story: from fighting an eating disorder and gender dysphoria to thriving with bodybuilding - Ep. 6

It’s high time I introduced myself and my own fitness journey. Today I tell you my own story, in which gender identity and fitness intertwine to shape the person and the coach that I am today. I’m going to have a very honest and open conversation about my childhood and teenage years, during which I developed an eating disorder due to gender dysphoria. I’m also going to share how I was able to turn my life around, recover from the eating disorder, and finally start thriving by adopting what I call “a bodybuilding lifestyle” (since I don’t compete yet). With this story, I hope to connect with you and to help you understand why coaching feels like my purpose in life. Important: I mention a restrictive eating disorder, disordered eating habits, an unhealthy bodyweight, and excessively low caloric intakes.
