Eating Disorders Explained with Kat Yiannakis: Part 2 - Understanding how eating disorders can form


Listen Later

In this episode of the Live Train Perform podcast, we look at how Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) affect people on a daily basis. 
Kat discusses how lack of awareness and stigmas behind Eating Disorders (ED) can contribute to increases in ED prevalence and poor support/outreach for help. We also dive into understanding the 5 psycho-education components of BED to help you to understand why BED exists and the complexity behind it. 

  1.  How habits are formed
  2.  Understanding the upper and lower brains
  3.  How language can affect our physiology
  4.  Neuroplasticity and rewiring our brains
  5.  Progressive mindfulness to create awareness around identifying negative detours

This is a great conversation for those dealing with BED themselves, or have friends or family dealing with their own struggles.

Kat is an Occupational Therapist, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Fitness Expert and Accredited Nutritionist based in New York City. Kat has worked around the world in the health and fitness industry as a Coach, Therapist and Trainer for over 13 years.

  • The power

Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
