Swapping Her Eating Disorder For The Olympics. How Professional Runner Charlotte Prouse Found Her Voice, Overcame Her Eating Disorder, And Now Has Her Eyes On The Olympics, Paris 2024.

If you have ever struggled with food, you understand the level of hard it can be to make peace with food and your body. Charlotte Prouse, 2-time NCAA Runner Up, 6-time All American, 3000M Steeplechase Western Hemisphere record holder, and professional runner knows this all too well.  I am so excited to have Charlotte, an amazing client, and incredible human, on the show to share her story of recovery, resiliency, and finding her voice in a high-pressure sport.  Funny Story: She hated me when we first met. I was brought into her team to evaluate her clearance for sport participation because of her eating disorder. Charlotte Prouse has battled anorexia during a crucial part of her life. While mentally she was not ok, physically she was winning. She is a 2-time NCAA Runner Up and 6-time All-American and is currently the Steeplechase Western Hemisphere record holder... Those are some high expectations to keep up with. Charlotte's story is not short of obstacles (including literal AND physical hurdles— seriously she hops over these in her Steeplechase race). It is one that will leave you feeling inspired!  We wrapped up Eating Disorder Awareness Week last week and this is the perfect time to talk about recovery. If you have ever had an eating disorder or know someone who has, you are no stranger to the level of pain that comes with it. One of the hardest parts about an eating disorder is that it often comes with shame and isolation. When our struggles are hidden they carry an even heavier burden. Our hope today is that Charlotte's story inspires anyone out there who may be struggling. You are not alone. There is hope. And recovery is possible.  Cheers, and happy eating,  Jess  👉 Learn more or apply to work together:  **NEW from Jess: The Empowered Hormone RESET Quiz Your hormones aren't supposed to run the show.
