Ep 60: Addiction, Denial, and Fixing Irregular Periods to Finally get Pregnant


Listen Later

Shannon is a retired Division One soccer player who struggled with her identity outside of being an athlete. After college, she turned to weightlifting and became a certified personal trainer, which made it easy to mask her health and exercise obsession. Shannon got married, quit working, and now travels around the country with her husband, who is a professional baseball player. She had always dreamed of being a mom, and with the help of Lindsey, her husband and she will be welcoming their baby girl later this year in September!

In this Episode

  • How the athlete mindset can set the stage for disordered eating
  • Signs of underfueling even when you do get your period
  • Overcoming the fear of undereating if you don’t track your food
  • The overlap between eating disorders and addiction
  • Calling out the lie, “I won’t care about gaining weight once I’m pregnant.”
