Can the pursuit of healthy become unhealthy?

In this episode, I’m joined by Abbie Attwood, a clinical nutritionist and an endurance athlete coach based in San Francisco. Abbie specializes in the intersection of sports nutrition and disordered eating and is passionate about helping athletes of all abilities improve their body image, their relationship with food, and their mindset around exercise.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• Abbie’s experience as a marathon runner training for the Olympic Trials

• What led to her to discover an undiagnosed autoimmune condition and how it shifted her training and ultimately her life

• My experience with overtraining and burnout

• Disordered eating, body image, and mindset in endurance athletes

• What recovery actually looks like

In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Markovitz, a Nutritional Therapy Consultant, a 21-Day Sugar Detox Coach, creator of The Mindfull Makeover program, and an Executive Director with Beautycounter, as well as a holistic lifestyle & personal growth advocate for women who are over media dogma and want to be free and confident in their own skin.

One day a few months ago over on Instagram, she shared how she struggled and overcame Orthorexia (having an unhealthy obsession with being healthy, most commonly through diet and exercise).

I connected to it because in hindsight, Orthorexia was something that I lived through too. So, I invited Kate to join me for a real-people episode to have a deeper discussion on this topic.

You’ll hear us each share:

• Our stories on what led us to develop Orthorexia

• What life was like as we lived through it

• What were the defining moments that pulled us on the other side

• And what helped us most past it
