The Mental Health Moment
"Ms. Flatt talks about body shame and stigma experienced by world class athletes. She then details the Eating Disorders Genetic Initiative being undertaken by Dr. Cindy Bulik and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. A must listen."

Great contribution by the lovely Ms. Flatt!

Someone told her to lose TWENTY POUNDS?! And then described her as a sack of potatoes??? Geeze, I'm so glad her parents helped her not take that garbage to heart and hurt herself. Good for her for speaking out about it.

I appreciate that this is coming to conclusions through research and solid data, not making statements or "raising concerns" from the table. So more of this and less of sensation-seeking statements in the future.
