Body Image and Disordered Eating in Athletes, Fitness Enthusiasts and Sport, with Matt Davis
Manage episode 404154406 series 2933749
Today I’m talking to Matt Davis. Matt is a Nutritionist specialising in disordered eating, body image and self-compassion. He is the founder of The Flourishing Athlete; an Instagram platform aiming to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts develop a positive relationship with food, body, and self so they can flourish and live a meaningful life whilst engaging with sport and fitness in a healthy way. Having played elite level sport and worked as a personal trainer and nutritionist, Matt promotes a predominantly non-diet, body neutral approach towards sports nutrition, fitness, and performance. He believes that this education and support is needed in the sport and fitness space to reduce the prevalence of disordered eating, body image concerns and other risk factors for poor mental well-being in this population.
In the episode today, Matt talks about his own healing journey with food and body image, and how he has navigated this within the sport/fitness space. He explores the unique concerns that athletes and fitness enthusiasts face with disordered eating and poor body image. Matt talks about prevention and support, and we also go off a few interesting tangents along the way, including thoughts about perfectionism. I hope that you enjoy it!
