Send us a text


In this episode, Kat and I discuss the ever growing prevalence of
Eating Disorders and the impact it can have on people. 


Kat explains and defines the differences between Disordered
eating habits and Eating Disorders. We delve into Binge Eating
Disorder (BED) in depth and explore the diagnosis, the
characteristics, the acute and long term effects and the impact
that BED can have mentally, psychologically, socially and
financially on people. We also touch on the stigma behind ED's
and some of the resources available for help.

Kat is an Occupational Therapist, Neuro Linguistic Programming
Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Fitness Expert and Accredited
Nutritionist based in New York City. Kat has worked around the
world in the health and fitness industry as a Coach, Therapist
and Trainer for over 13 years.


Kat works on improving the relationship that athletes and members
of the community have with food, body image and nutrition,
through her online business, Macros, Muscles & Mindset.

Kat has featured on the podcast numerous times in the past, and
shares her story behind why she is passionate about helping
others identify and address eating disorders, and that is through
her own lived experience.

Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a
unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various
stages of life.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."


The odds were stacked against me:


Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work,
abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years
period of my life


Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping
school


At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my
pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new
life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work
and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier,
at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit
to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the
best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning
coach
38+: The next evolution begins
