81: Are you over exercising or under eating? You can have too much of a good thing
Listen now
Description
They say you can never have too much of a good thing. And yes, there are a few things I believe this statement applies to: holidays, puppies and beach swims. But two things that can definitely be taken to the extreme are healthy eating and exercising. Don’t get me wrong – You only get one body, and it’s important to take care of it. But it is absolutely possible to go overboard with eating healthy and exercising, and you can end up doing far more harm than good. Sarah Liz King is an accredited exercise physiologist who has dedicated her career to promoting safe and effective exercise practices for individuals with disordered eating, eating disorders, exercise addiction, and hypothalamic amenorrhea. Ever wondered if stress can affect your period? If you haven’t heard of hypothalamic amenorrhea before, it is a condition where your period stops due to things like excessive stress, intense exercise, low body weight, or certain eating habits. She works to help women un-learn toxic diet culture and provide a science-backed, holistic approach to mental and physical wellness that will last a lifetime. She is basically my type of woman. Let's do this.    Ps. If you loved Sarah as much as I did, check her out on IG.
