Hello and welcome back to another episode! In honor of NEDA week last week, I recorded an episode on a topic many of you requested, answering the question, "why do so many runners have a history of an eating disorder?" I dive into research on personality traits and risk factors that predispose one to develop an eating disorder, including perfectionism. I also look at personality links between endurance athletes and those with disordered eating (hint: there's a lot!). As always, I am not a doctor yet. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, please reach out to a professional for help. You are worth it! 
On another note, I hope you enjoy my new podcast image and introduction! The image was created by the lovely Hannah Marie (lifewithhannahj on instagram). She is super talented - go give her a follow and love! 
Enjoy the episode, and as always, reach out anytime! I love hearing from you!
