Lauren Anton shares “when people are so disconnected from their body this is when the disorder creeps up” on PHIT for a Queen.

 

• Her role as a trainer in a gym gave her first-hand insight into the culture that contributes to eating disorders.  
• Interesting fact that breathe work when going to school for acting helped her be able to use this as a mind-body connection tool.

 

• Could be this disconnection a result of trauma?

 

• Dispel the weight stigma of “what is a larger body in running?”

 

• Feels that injuries can stem from negative thought processes about altering the body.

 

• Self-compassion is honoring where my body is Today!

 

• Can one separate their activities by intention for self and intention for disorder?
