This week we are joined by anti-diet dietitian and former elite-level synchronized swimmer (artistic swimmer), Katie Spada! In this episode we talk about: 

• Katie’s story - how being a competitive athlete led to disordered eating and body image struggles
• Why Disordered behaviors become normalized in competitive athletic settings
• Katie’s breaking point with dieting/ restricting
• Why athletes are uniquely prone to body image struggles
• How the competitive athletic community is starting to change to better support athletes
• Why competitive sport culture makes it hard to allow guilt free rest and where to start with rewiring this mindset
