This month, we chat to George from myominds.co.uk who will unpack the nuanced connection between exercise and eating disorders.
Exercise Addiction and Eating Disorders
Join us for a 30-minute lunchtime webinar where members of the tastelife team are joined by George Mycock, of MyoMinds (myominds.co.uk) who shares his knowledge of the connection between exercise, exercise addiction and, for some people, how this can tip into an eating disorder.
Exercise is a good thing, we can all agree. But for some, what starts as a means to improving their health, can turn into obsession which affects their food choices. This can develop into an eating disorder for some people. So, does exercise make you more vulnerable to an eating disorder? How can we have a 'healthy relationship' with exercise?
Join us for our lunchtime webinar where George will share his story of overcoming an eating disorder and his work today.
In this packed, short webinar, you will hear George's own story and also learn about:
- The science behind the relationship between compulsive exersise addiction and eating disorders
- The difference between primary and secondary exercise addiction
- The key considerations for developing a healthy relationhip with exercise
George is passionate about athletes' and exercisers' mental health, specialising in muscle dysmorphia, disordered eating and exercise addiction. He has spoken widely on the topic of men and exercise addiction, as well as men and eating disorders. He's featured on the BBC News, Sky News, Talk TV and numerous press and magazine articles. His upcoming work includes featuring in Men's Fitness magazine as well as filming for an ITV documentary about eating disorders and men.
This podcast-style webinar is suitable for anyone (aged 16+).
