Ep 103- No Track, No Rules: You're an Athlete and You Just Don't Know It Yet
Episode 103
Friday, 17 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailKat welcomes Paige Thompson, a Philadelphia-based licensed counselor specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image—especially for athletes and women in the perinatal season. They discuss how health is often treated as a narrow, linear “track,” and how diet culture fuels black-and-white thinking, moralizing around food and exercise, and beliefs such as “smaller is healthier,” or that rest equals laziness. Paige reframes food as more than “fuel,” emphasizing flexibility, culture, connection, and values-based definitions of health that include relationships and mental well-being. They explore internal critical dialogue, how to build awareness of where messages come from, and why transitions (such as leaving college sports or experiencing an injury) can increase vulnerability to rigid rules. Paige suggests starting by identifying food rules and “good/bad” lists, eating enough with frequency/volume/variety, tuning in to hunger cues, and seeking HAES/anti-diet professionals.
