That Psyched Runner

Today, I have Savannah Hooge (savsfoodadventures) on the show to talk all about her journey with her recently diagnosed celiac disease. Savannah, like me, was diagnosed this year, and we have gone through nearly the same struggles and journey. Savannah shares her story of her diagnosis journey, challenges, resilience, and how she has learned to flourish with this diagnosis as a foodie! Savannah was well-known for her foodie account on Instagram before her diagnosis. When she got diagnosed, she started to share celiac disease awareness content, which has inspired so many, including myself. We talk all things celiac disease as a foodie in this episode - how to navigate mental health, how to eat out safely, and how you CAN thrive and find joy eating out! Savannah is truly an inspiration to so many and demonstrates that you can either fall into despair OR resilience from a diagnosis. You don't want to miss this episode if you are navigating any food intolerance/allergy as a foodie!

On today's episode, I have the inspiring Dominic Fusco on the show to share his testimony, journey with running and fitness, and the story of how giving his life to Christ and enduring a cardiac arrest in his 20s transformed his outlook on life. Dominic shares endless wisdom on this episode - it has to be my favorite episode I have ever recorded. He talks about finding identity in sport compared to identity in faith, how to tell if a sport is an idol, what life looks like after you put your faith in the Lord, and why suffering can be your greatest blessing. Additionally, he touches on how social media and running can bring you closer to the Lord when used in the right way while recognizing when the line between social media as an idol versus a vessel becomes blurry and how to find accountability. Other topics involve the importance of community, being still, taking care of your body, and how to find true joy in life. Dominic's story is inspiring and will empower anyone who listens. Regardless of your walk in life, fitness, or faith, this story will leave you feeling motivated. You do not want to miss this one!

Welcome back to another episode, friends! In today's episode, I talk about running as a fad. There has been a clear increase in the number of runners on social media over the past several years - have you seen the trends in how many people are applying for marathons, the cutoff times for world majors, and the amount of running products and social platforms coming out?! After a quick life update, I give you some psychological explanations as to WHY this may be happening. Remember that this is a correlation, not causation, and everything described here is merely based on theory. This has not been CAUSED. Future research is needed to understand this further. However, I use principles of fad psychology to help explain this. If you are noticing the uptick in social media runners and want to know WHY, this episode is for you!

Hello and welcome back to another episode! In honor of NEDA week last week, I recorded an episode on a topic many of you requested, answering the question, "why do so many runners have a history of an eating disorder?"

I also look at personality links between endurance athletes and those with disordered eating (hint: there's a lot!). As always, I am not a doctor yet. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, please reach out to a professional for help. You are worth it! On another note, I hope you enjoy my new podcast image and introduction!

Today I have a very special guest, Julia Flynn! Julia and I grew up together, and I have gotten to witness her love for running grow and flourish as she grew older. From a young age, I can remember Julia running while my little "sister" (listen for details!) would bike along side of her. Ever since she was little, she has had a passion and low for the sport.
