EP 22: Do You Struggle With Excessive Exercise? How Yoga Gave Me Freedom & Permission to Get Off the Treadmill


Listen Later

Today's episode is all about excessive exercise & exercise addiction. & while an addiction to exercise may not be a noted clinical addiction, researchers do believe that the impacts of excessive exercise on the body have just as many harmful affects as other restrictive behaviors for those who struggle with control around food & body image.

I discuss what exactly makes the very thing we view as "healthy" so very "unhealthy". I also share my story & struggle with exercise addiction & obsession with all the "cardio queen" shenanigans. 

If you find yourself constantly exercising or finding ways to exert energy as a means or lever to manipulate caloric intake or manage your body weight unrealistically, then this episode is for you!

I touch on the intuitive principles that healed my unhealthy relationship with food & my body. & I share the impact that yoga had during my recovery from my eating disorder. 

& while I may claim freedom from food currently controlling my life, I will forever owe a portion of my story to the practice of mindfulness & yoga. In fact, I continue to practice yoga in my every day routine because I truly believe that the intuitive practice gave me the permission I needed to experience peace & freedom, even during my hardest days of healing. 

So, if you struggle with compulsive exercise behaviors & you are looking for a way out....or you feel that the only way you can eat certain things is if you hit the gym to exercise them off later, then you won't want to miss today's show.
