This week’s episode explores the intersection of eating disorders and the menstrual cycle. Neddy is joined by August teammates Elena Gadekar (Customer Care Associate) and newest member Davi Nova (Brand Designer) to kick off the conversation on the correlation between eating disorders and menstruation. Elena then dives in deeper with Johanna Kandel, Founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, which is the leading national nonprofit organization that provides education, referral, and support for all humans experiencing all types of eating disorders, as well as support for their loved ones. With Johanna’s expertise and lived experience and Elena’s history as a ballet dancer coloring the conversation, the two discuss how eating disorders affect the whole body, how athleticism plays a part in both eating disorders and the menstrual cycle, the types of amenorrhea, and if and how eating disorders can affect fertility.
