Description

Hello Humans! Welcome to the third show housed in “The Human Theatre”: Part 1 of “What My Anorexia Needed to Know”.

The major points discussed in this episode are:

1. The detrimental side effects of being too underweight: higher mortality, cardiac arrest, osteoporosis, osteopenia, loss of libido, hair loss, amenorrhea (loss of your menstrual cycle), insomnia, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, infertility and gut permeability, just to name a few)
2. Being healthy IS COOL!
3. The brain is made up of 60% fat, therefore, restricting healthy fat sources in fear of calories was detrimental to my health; psychologically and physically!
4. The body is an OPEN system, so applying the notion that it’s all about calories in and calories out is too simplistic of a notion to apply to the exquisite complexity of our Human bodies.
5. You can take accountability how you respond and react in the world through your breath alone! You can utilize your breath, through various breathing techniques, to put you in a parasympathetic (rest & digest) to sympathetic (fight, flight) state, depending on your respective requirements.
6. Educating oneself about how the body works and what the body is made up of is PROFOUND in de-mystifying mental health.
7. You cannot address your software (Psychology) if your hardware (Physiology) is not functioning optimally.
8. How you live your life day-to-day directly impacts your state of health and state of being. Genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.
9. And finally; health is not a passive state. Becoming empowered in knowledge and self-awareness is a HUGE part of the puzzle that too many people overlook!
