39:33

This episode is important!! Particular living in a diet culture driven society and especially for anyone living with or recovering from an ED‼️ Working with my eating disorder psychologist, I was confronted with a fear food challenge. It caused me quite a bit of anxiety and in the process of challenging my eating disorder I learnt a lot, came to a lot of realisations and in this episode I shared a lot of this insight. I talked about fear foods and the importance of challenging fear foods to recover, the danger and disordered pattern around restriction of particular foods, the impact the language we use around, my mindset evolution in regard to fear foods & my experience in challenging fear foods. Food is not just fuel and energy (albeit it certainly is) it is also about connection and culture and enjoyment and social connection. I dive into my anxiety when I was confronted with eating foods not deemed ‘healthy’ and realisation why it is necessary in order to rewrite neural brain connections and heal my relationship with food and my body. 🤍 this episodes quote: “Change happens when I understand what I want to change so deeply, there is no reason to do anything but act in my own best interest.” Check out the podcast on Spotify, google podcasts, apple or Soundcloud & check out my the YouTube vlog on challenging this fear food!…

It’s been a few months since my last episode so todays episode is a bit of a life update but mostly its to have a very important chat about seeking help, particularly when it comes to mental illness and eating disorders. I talked about starting with a treatment team and why I finally started with this team, who it is made up of and why I think this episode was important to make. I wasn’t planning on sharing this so soon but normalising support and professional help is important and I want to encourage those who are on the fence to get the help! Whether that is with a sport dietitian or psychologist, its only going to help get to where you truly want to be in life! Its a long ep but some things discussed were: The fear of letting go of your ED or getting professional support The benefits and what is going to happen when you start recovering or take the first steps to recover The dangers and influence of uneducated social media exposure What made me finally start working with a team The up and down journey of struggling with mental health Feeling like you are ’too recovered’ or ’not sick enough’ to have a team .. (there is no ’sick enough’ to get help or support) Recovery both physically and mentally Addressing the common concerns: fear of weight gain/ change if you see a dietitian (trust me a sports dietitian is going to advise you on how to improve your fitness/ sport/ health), for some; fear you might not perform as well if your body changes (again - it will just do BETTER if you are healthy)… Supercompensation theory and how you HAVE to fuel and recover to make training adaptations and improve This eps quote: Stop being afraid of what could go wrong.

Ok so this ep was pretty chaotic and low-key represented the chaos in my head but I dove into the topic of body image and the how influential influencers really are. I was sparked to start this ep after some toxic messages asking to show pictures of my body ‘at its best’ being when it was unhealthily shredded. I explored how this toxic belief has an incredible influence on mental health and body image and how often our favourite influencers reinforce this societal belief. Of course no one is to blame, but as a society it is up to us to change this ideal image and also to learn to take everything with a grain of salt. Quote of the ep: You have been criticising yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try loving yourself, accepting yourself and being grateful for what your body can do, and see what happens then.…

In this episode I dove into balancing life and my journey so far learning to find balance with everything from studies/ schooling, training commitments, work and social time. Particularly getting into the much asked questions; How do you balance studying and training? How to deal with exam stress? I spoke through my own journey of finding balance through high school, graduating school and throughout uni so far including managing success in studies as well as maintaining a high training load and competing in high level sport and then struggling with anxiety and guilt around taking time off and not always being ‘productive’ or studying like crazy. I also talked about learning to deal with exam stress and how I have worked on my own stress and mindset! Over time I’ve improved and learnt different ways to cope especially with adult life and working. Since recording this, the past 4 months have been intense, adding working crazy hours into the mix and this is something I have had to just find a way to balance and cope with too (and I’m still working on!!) so an update is needed soon but I am definitely keen to get recording again and getting back onto the topic of balance again. Balance in life is essential and something I am definitely not good at whatsoever but the more I work on it and practice it, the more I can appreciate its value. This Episodes quote: Worry has never done anyone any good, for it substantially curtails the joy and fullness of life.…

Welcome to the first educational style ep which features some nutrition and exercise science based info! We’ve all probably heard the term calories and macros but what actually is a calorie?

I will add though, it is for educational purposes and for interest, I do explain and reiterate that food is fuel and that energy is essential to consume!! I do not promote or condone low calorie or starvation diets, FOOD IS FUEL! This episodes quote: Enjoy your body, use it every way you can.

This is the first “running hungry’ episode where I talk about my own experience with an eating disorder and dive into the physiological implications that low energy availability has on your health from an exercise science background. I talked about the dangers of being ‘too lean’ and why this is not healthy as well as the impact social media has on our mental health. I chat about my own mental health experiences over the past few years as well as how I started running and found the love for my sport. I explained information I gathered for an essay I wrote which I called ‘Amenorrhea as a metabolic injury in female athletes’ to explain why having no period is a big concern as well as so much more!!! Basically a full hour of some juicy chats! I hope you enjoy this episode and find it educational and inspiring, I want it to encourage you to honour your body and love your body at its healthiest, encourage the development of a healthy relationship with yourself and your body, where nourishing and fuelling yourself is priority. There is so much more to talk about on this topic so this is just the first of many episodes like this. Just a trigger warning to anyone who may be upset by these topics, please skip over these podcasts if they may be triggering for yourself. Sorry for the unstructured podcast schedule and the gap between my first 2 episodes! I am flat out with editing vlogs and podcast episodes between my own work, training and life but I try to spend every bit of free time I have creating content! I hope you enjoy it and thank you so much for the support :)…

Welcome to my very first episode! In this episode I dive into the power of psychology and how big the impact of our mindset & thinking is on our lives and ourselves, especially in terms of sport and the limit we push ourselves to.

I talk about the impact the content we consume & social connections we make have on who we are (and thus the dangers of uneducated influencers), share some interesting facts about fatigue from an exercise science perspective including the difference between central and peripheral fatigue (and explain how it is our mind/brain that limits our physical performance) and much more!…
