Into The Red Zone

Today is Ellen's first solo episode with the lovely Danika Quesnel. Danika is a researcher focused on the role of exercise in the treatment of eating disorders. Since the completion of her MSc, Danika has contributed peer-review publications to the field of exercise and eating disorders, perfectionism, body image, and problematic internet use.

Tait and Ellen get together to talk shit just like the OG episodes of the podcast, only with much better audio and sound quality. Getting back to our roots and pumping it up with a chat about our own struggles with mental health.

Ellen and Tait welcome Raphael Bender to the red zone. I can honestly say, Raph's ability to quote research is only second to Greg Lehman himself. Strap yourself in and bring a notebook cause you're going to want to catch the names of some of these papers. The main one is "Buy-in for back pain: Does individuality matter?" by Mitchell Gibbs.

Ellen and Tait's long-time crush, Quinn Henoch, finally enters the red zone. Quinn has a doctorate in physical therapy and is the director of the clinical athlete. His organization aims to educate clinicians, coaches, and students in the realms of athlete health & performance.

We welcome Fiona Sutherland, director of the Mindful Dietitian, into the red zone today. Fionia is one nerdy and well-informed sports dietitian. She has worked with elite-level athletes including gymnasts and divers. Her knowledge and understanding of eating disorders in sport are unbelievable. She hits us over the head with pure facts and logic. She challenges both Tait and I's understanding of the evidence-based funnel and the risks associated with weight category-based sports. How can we minimize these impacts through the environment we create and the langue that we use?
