Participation in sports has a number of positive effects on student-athletes. They tend to live healthier lives than non-athletes, and they gain skills in teamwork, discipline and decision-making that their non-athlete peers may not.
However, some aspects of the sports environment can increase the risk of disordered eating (and eating disorders). That means student-athletes and those who oversee athletics must be vigilant to detect signs of trouble.
Disordered eating and eating disorders are related but not always the same. All eating disorders involve disordered eating, but not all disordered eating meets diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder.Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, can have devastating effects on both the health and performance of athletes. Eating disorders in athletes are more prevalent than discussed, simply because parents, coaches and athletes are not able to decipher the difference to training in healthy verse unhealthy approaches. Compared to non-athletes, both female and male athletes are at higher risk of developing an eating disorder. Body Dynamics Nutrition aims to prevent and treat eating disorders in athletes by focusing on expanding knowledge of healthy nutrition in support of optimal health accompanied by performance excellence.

A significant amount of post-bariatric patient struggle with eating disorder symptoms, therefore learning to adapt to necessary changes is fundamental for success. A common statement from PBSD clients is, “I couldn’t eat my emotions, so I had to find new coping skills when I was stressed or anxious”. This is a powerful and debilitating feeling. If someone is not proactive in identifying healthy coping skills the root to their distorted behaviors towards food and eating will continue to be exhibited, just in different forms.
