In this episode, I welcome Kamila Tan back to the podcast for a conversation that grew out of a moment at the end of her first appearance. As we were wrapping up that episode, we briefly touched on the intersection between athletics and eating disorders. Kamila shared about her experience struggling with disordered eating while competing in beach volleyball, and I spoke about what I’ve observed in my daughter’s dance communities, where the pressure around body image and performance can be intense. It was clear there was a much bigger conversation waiting to happen, so I invited her back so we could explore this important topic more deeply.
Together we talk about the often-overlooked connection between eating disorders, digestive issues like IBS, and mindbody/TMS symptoms. Kamila shares openly about her TMS recovery journey and the ways patterns around control, perfectionism, and safety can become entangled with both physical symptoms and our relationship with food. We explore how the nervous system responds to the pressures of athletic culture and high-performance environments, and what it can look like to begin unwinding those patterns on the path to healing. SO much here to dig into! Join us XOOX n.
