Description

C&amp;A's Health, Hope and Happiness podcast concludes our three-part series in collaboration with the Emily Program, focused on healthy eating and the mental health of young athletes.<br /><br />In our first two episodes, we had powerful conversations with Brittany Davis and Megan Merrells about balanced nutrition, bigorexia and the pressure many athletes feel around body image.<br /><br />Now, in this final installment, we turn our attention to anorexia nervosa—specifically, how it impacts girls and female athletes. This is a serious and often overlooked issue, and we dig into how it affects not just performance, but overall well-being and mental health.<br /><br /> Brittany, the Midwest senior regional director, and Megan, a registered dietitian, return with insightful, practical advice for coaches and parents. They break down what signs to look for and how to support athletes who might be struggling.<br /><br />It’s an important, eye-opening conversation with potentially life-saving takeaways. Let’s get into it.
