Welcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast for a solo episode based on your relationship with food and bodybuilding. This episode came from a conversation I had around how binge eating as a bodybuilder can actually be a cry for help.

Being a competitive bodybuilder can often lead to us feeling that we should never struggle. We are deemed as disciplined and focused individuals and that can mean it's hard to reach out for support. Some of the topics covered:

*Your Identity as a Bodybuilder.

*The Ability to Utilise Self Awareness.

*Your Relationship with Food.

*Learning from Experience.

*Seeking Support.

I hope you enjoy listening and as always thank you for your support.
