"Rest is required in recovery—it's non-negotiable."

"We don't even realize we're doing this to our body because we get so trapped in the cycle."

"I didn't start working out two times a day overnight. It was the disorder that came on over time."

"If you're listening to me and you're on the treadmill, get off of it."

Hear from Sabina, Lindsey's client who worked together for over a year to overcome people-pleasing, perfectionism, and exercise compulsion. Her powerful testimony demonstrates that recovery from exercise addiction is possible with proper support and guidance.

Sabina's words: "Lindsey gave me feedback on how to reframe with positive intent rather than staying stuck in negativity... Since working with Lindsey, a new concept of myself is emerging, one free from deprivation and restraint."
