I believe every person has a right to basic knowledge of how to optimize their mind, body, and spirit.

Here, I bring to you influential individuals and ideas

to help you live a more healthy, fulfilling life.

I'm Julie Fusheilhay, and I'd like to welcome you to pursuing health.

Welcome back to Pursuing Health. This is episode number 30. I can't believe we've

actually reached 30 episodes and that we're almost at a year since we started

with episode number one. This is a very special and

exciting episode for me. I get the opportunity to sit down with a

courageous young woman named Nadia Johnston and she opens up about her long struggle with eating disorders and depression as well as how crossfit has helped her to once again enjoy and become a productive member of society.

This year she completed her first year

studying psychology at McGill University in Montreal and I sat down with her a

couple of weeks ago to discuss how her struggles began, some of the different

stages of her recovery process, how she first found CrossFit, and how it's helped

her to change her relationship with food and her body, as well as the importance of the support

she received from her family, friends, and the CrossFit community, and helping her to get to

where she is today and her plans for the future.

Before we get started, I have a few quick reminders.
