Sam welcomes back his Coach Bri Siegert to discuss her personal experience with eating disorders.  Bri is a strong believer in exposing her own vulnerabilities to help others with theirs.   She courageously discusses many issues that she has faced with eating disorders and training as an elite athlete in CrossFit. 

This podcast coincides with Eating Disorders Awareness Week. (February 27-March 5, 2023) 

Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental and physical illnesses that can affect people of all genders, ages, races, religions, ethnicities, body shapes, and weights. In the United States, 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives.

While no one knows for sure what causes eating disorders, a growing consensus suggests that it is a range of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. 

To contact Bri; DM her on Instagram: @srianabiegert

He has proudly leveraged that among a plethora of other experiences and hardships into a career of helping people satisfy some of the most basic human needs – health, happiness and wealth.
 
Jake has an affinity for physical and spiritual nutrition. By truly prioritizing his own health, he learned to manifest thoughts into reality. Put simply, the process of resculpting his mind and body saved his life. It has enabled him to lead family, friends and total strangers on similar paths.

The LIFE LIKE JAKE ethos is pillared on leadership, personal growth and development, radical candor and extreme accountability. It hails from military ideology, careers in professional athletics and multi-faceted entrepreneurship, historical and contemporary philosophy, and decades spent insatiably consuming drugs, alcohol, pleasurable company and material things.
