The Importance of Integrating Science and Practice

Many bodybuilders come from a background of having disordered eating or body image issues. It's worth saying just how prevalent body image issues and eating disorders are in competitive bodybuilders. Remember that there may be many athletes who have an eating disorder on top of the fact that they used to have some serious concerns about their bodies. So I think you really do need to consider it, even if you're someone who has struggled with what I lost my perspective on this issue before I got into competing and re-center myself.
