Description
In today's episode Jack and Loz, TFD Performance Dietitians, are discussing the important, but not so-spoken-about topic of body dysmorphia in weight-category sports. Every athlete who has had to make weight for competition understands the societal pressures of having to fit the often unattainable image of the ideal athlete and how detrimental that can be to their physical and mental health. Jack and Loz will discuss the ways in which they approach this in their practice helping athletes not only make weight, but do so in a way that fosters a health relationship of mind and body.  Want to eat like the best grapplers in the world?
