Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience

numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you

to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying

the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple

or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue

to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big plans

for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this possible.

So during this really depressive state, I started going back into that anxious, not eating

place that I go into, like I did when I was younger. But this time it was a combination

of, I'm so stressed out and unhappy that I don't want to eat. To also, if I eat, what

if I lose my abs? And it's like, it happens to a lot of athletes, you know, male and female

when they are so afraid to lose their physique that they work so hard for, they end up

like not eating at all. So I was losing weight, I was losing like a lot of the muscle I

worked really hard for and I was losing even more and more weights. I was just getting

like skinnier and skinnier. And that was not feeding my body well and not giving myself

good nutrition was just affecting my mental health even more, which is why I ended up in

that place of like suicidal thinking. I went through all these painful experiences in

life and I thought like for what, like what's the point of all of this and then I realized

maybe there was a purpose. That's Bianca Taylor and this is the proof podcast.
