*Content Warning: Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating Patterns*

Adison Barnhart, a registered dietician, shares her story about how she found healing after walking away from the body building community after claiming a professional body building title. Throughout the conversation we cover her transition from ultimate food restriction to intuitive eating for herself and how she now facilitates that for others. She shares all the good, bad, and ugly behind getting stage ready and what that meant for her mental and physical, and emotional health.
