In this episode, Mike, and certified personal trainer, Yolie, review her history with disordered eating. We focus on the root of the cause of the disorder, which in this case, stems from youth. Yolie opens up and discusses her 18-year struggle with anorexia and bulimia, overall effect it had on her relationships, and how this has shaped her into the woman she is today. In addition, we take the conversation full circle and give ideas on how we can prevent trauma in our youth around their food intake to reduce the chances of developing an eating disorder. Huge thanks to Yolie and much respect for opening up and telling her story to raise awareness of disordered eating in our society.

In this episode, Mike explains why it's not ideal to begin a health/fitness journey when "things die down" or when life becomes "less busy." Also, an alternate reason to focus on oneself for the long term that isn't thought about too often: control. Humans look for control and a level of certainty in life. Aspects of health/fitness/wellness offer a form of control that we cannot obtain anywhere else.
