This month’s Soul Sister Sessions episode returns to focus on eating disorders, inspired by Eating Disorders Awareness Week on February 24th – March 1st. ROO 223 was a powerful conversation when Abbey and Julia first shared their respective stories of eating disorders, and this episode is a follow up to that. Abbey and Julia answer five listener questions, all specifically focused around eating disorders. This is all shared from their own experiences, and we encourage anyone that is experiencing an eating disorder/disordered eating or any physical or mental health issue, to consult a qualified professional in any instance you feel you require additional support.This conversation goes deep, and covers the following themes:Checking in with both Abbey and JuliaSupporting someone with an eating disorderAccountability in training and how that fits in with managing nutrition, specifically for those prone to disordered eating/eating disorder tendenciesManaging a relationship with food when injuredGuilt and stigmas around food and body image, and how to navigate external pressures and expectationsComparing body types and self confidence in one’s own bodyWhat recovering from an eating disorder looks like and how that evolves over timeA lighter conversation to finish and close out____EPISODE LINKSRun Fast Eat SlowEpisode 212National Eating Disorder AssociationOpal Food + Body Wisdom PodcastBook: Intuitive EatingBook: RoarBook: Sports Nutrition Guidebook#TrainBrave CampaignLane 9 ProjectHunger & Fullness ScaleRyan Hall's Run Free PodcastAbbey's InstagramAbbey's TwitterAbbey's Facebook____SPONSORSXenduranceXendurance is a nutrition company based out of Phoenix Arizona, providing high quality nutrition and recovery products for athletes.
