017 - Exercise and Eating Disorders


Listen Later

Exercise and movement should be an act of self-care, not a form of punishment for the food you’ve indulged in. Today on the podcast, Jessi shares why exercise should be a reward for yourself rather than a penalty for what you’ve done wrong. She opens up about her past disordered relationship with exercise and how this came about from being a fitness competitor. She chats about what her relationship looked like with exercise, the mental breakdowns she dealt with and how this led to extreme exhaustion. Jessi gives a few tips for how to change your perspective of exercise, how to know when your body needs rest and getting clear on what exercise means to you.
