Summary
Eating disorders are a topic we don't talk a lot about in the fitness industry, and I think we should. Today we have Becky Freestone sharing her story of recovery from anorexia and orthorexia. She lets us in on what her eating disorders looked like in her life and how she has created a life of recovery. Becky has an inspiring story that I feel anyone can benefit from. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder yourself or know someone who is, this conversation with Becky is a must-listen!
