On today’s episode, I have Atomic Thorson on the show to discuss her personal and inspiring story, and dive into some interesting research! As an athlete, Atomic overcame a dependence on endorphins from exercise, which is an experience that many other athletes experience, but is not discussed enough. After sharing her story, we discuss some of the research about the mechanisms that explain how individuals become dependent on endorphins. From rat studies to human research, we discuss some of the functions and outcomes of exercise addiction, how it relates to underfueling, and how to recover from this cycle. If you want to hear an inspiring story or are interested in this topic, this episode is for you! This episode is not a replacement for therapy, not intended to diagnose or treat, and contains discussions surrounding disordered eating. Please reach out to a professional if you are concerned about your relationship with food or exercise and skip this episode if you find these topics triggering.
