TuTu Thin: A Podcast for Dancers | Be a healthy dancer/athlete in mind, body and spirit.

The TuTu Thin Podcast will explore the complex relationship between dancers, athletes, their body and eating disorders, explaining how eating disorders can too easily develop in this driven, perfectionistic yet vulnerable population. TuTu Thin also explores the relationship between the dancer/athlete and the drive for perfection. How can the dancer/athlete develop healthy eating patterns in a world where there is expectation to have a strong, yet thin body. How can the dance teacher, choreographers, coaches and parents identify who may be struggling with an eating disorder? Coaches and dance teachers can promote healthy body image, but what is their responsibility if a dancer/athlete is exhibiting signs of having an eating disorder? Both prevention and treatment of eating disorders for the dancer/athlete are examined as well as how to return them back to their passion for dance or their sport. There will also be interviews with dancers, athletes, and those who work with them to promote wellness in mind, body and spirit.

Declaration of Independence from your Eating Disorder

June 27, 2024 • Dawn Smith-Theodore, MA, MFT, CEDS • Season 3 • Episode 1

As we approach our 248th birthday for the United States, I like to look at the Declaration of Independence and why we separated from Great Britain. They wanted to separate from Great Britain for the right of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For those struggling with an eating disorder, think about your declaration of independence from your eating disorder. The Declaration of Independence continues to inspire people around the world to fight for freedom and equality. Are you ready to fight for your freedom from your eating disorder?
