PT-ing clients with eating disorders

Published on: 10th November, 2021

Disclaimer - In this episode we talk about eating disorders and compulsive exercise.

In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast, I speak with Hannah Lewin a personal trainer who specialises in working with people with eating disorders (ED). Hannah is also the founder of Mind+Motion an online resource of exercise for people recovering from an ED.

Listen to this podcast to hear us discuss:

  • The role of exercise in ED recovery.
  • How to start a conversation with a client/gym member you are worried about.
  • The do's and dont's for PT's working with clients who have an ED.
  • What is Mind+Motion?

This week's Devils Advocate question: People with ED’s tend to have a bad relationship with exercise, so shouldn’t we be discouraging these people away from exercise?
