As many of you know, May is mental health awareness month.  I’ve done a couple of episodes on this topic this month and I wanted to squeak one more in.  My guest today, Sean Van Horn is a fellow struggler.  And I say that with the most reverence and affection I can.  He’s an outstanding athlete.  He came up in the cycling world and eventually got into ultrarunning and skiing.  He’s an all around mountain endurance guy.  Last year he completed Nolan’s 14, which for me is pretty much the pinnacle.  Even though he’s a great athlete, he struggles with mental health and an eating disorder.  When I reached out to him to be on the show, he was a little unsure because he is right in the thick of his struggles right now and is left without any real concrete answers.  He is IN IT.  I thought it would be interesting to have a guest on the show that hasn’t exactly come out on the other side yet.  He’s an outstanding athlete and has what’s seemingly a great life.  But he still struggles, as many do.  This episode doesn’t provide a ton of answers on what's working and keeping him healthy.  He’s still trying different methods and modalities to try and figure this thing out.   I really admire his brutal honesty and bravery to come on and talk.
