#Dumpthescales, eating disorders and the role of exercise in ED's, with Hope Virgo

Please remember that no episode of the MyoMinds podcast can be used as a replacement for medical advice and/or care.

Hope Virgo is an award winning mental health campaigner and the founder of the #Dumpthescales campaign trying to remove the BMI requirement to receive help for an eating disorder that is currently in place.

In this episode, we talk about Hope's experiences with an eating disorder and delve more into how exercise played a role in her experience. We also talk about the power of social media, giving our tips on how to make it less toxic. We also discuss how great talking and sharing your emotions with others can be and share our tips on how to get the most out of these conversations.
