Bulimia and BJJ


Listen Later

Disclaimer - In this episode you talk a lot about disordered eating behaviours which includes self-induced vomiting and restrictive eating. We also talk about suicide and other potentially stressful topics.

In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast, I speak with Teanna, a competitive Brazilian jujitsu (BJJ) athlete. We go in-depth about Teanna's past with bulimia and poor mental health, as well as how she has recovered from some of these struggles.

Listen to the full podcast to hear us discuss:

  • What BJJ is and why you should try it
  • How Teanna got into BJJ
  • Teanna's experiences with bulimia and how she recovered
  • Our opinions on food tracking within sport

The episode's Devils Advocate Question: "Don’t you think teaching people to fight will lead to more violence and have a negative influence on their life?"
