Real Fit Pam Moore

Gillian Goerzen was at the healthiest she’d ever been, training for an Ironman… or so it appeared. 

The truth was, she grappling with an eating disorder that sapped her of her energy,  joy, and health. But because she didn’t “look like” she was chronically underfueled, she flew under the radar for years. As the medical community is finally starting to recognize, eating disorders don’t have a certain look.
Today, Gillian is a body-positive health coach, a certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, and an author who helps her clients ditch diets, programs,  and plans and reclaim their authentic approach to health and fitness. 

Gillian has also traded Ironmans for distance swimming — while managing a rare disease. 
She lives, works, and plays in the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, on Vancouver Island in BC, Canada with her two sons, husband and mini-Aussie, Tucker.

Content warning: eating disorders, trauma 
If you need a huge dose of inspiration, this episode is for you. Our guest, ultra runner and gravel cyclist Hillary Allen, best known for her incredible comeback after the near-fatal accident she survived during an endurance race in Norway, is the definition of resilience.

Hillary is a Boulder-based ultra-endurance athlete who races for both the Brooks running team the Pinarello gravel bike team. She’s also a scientist with a Master's degree in neuroscience and physiology, a running coach, and the author of Out and Back, a memoir chronicling her incredible story of recovery and resilience. 
Hillary was at the pinnacle of her running career, when, while competing in 2017 a sky race in Norway, when one misstep almost cost her life. She fell 150 feet off of a ridge when and had to be airlifted out with a long list of injuries. 
Doctors said she would never run again. Not only is she running again, she's crushing it. With strength training and gravel cycling in her repertoire, she recently complete her first 100-miler at the UTMB, where she placed third American.
In this interview she shares how she got into trail running, her eating disorder recovery, what motivated her through her arduous rehab process, how she manages strength training, running, and cycling, how her creative process helps with her mental health, how she keeps perfectionism at bay, why she wrote her memoir Out and Back, what community means to her, how she healed from trauma, and so much more.

Intuitive eating isn't as simple as eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're full,  There are ten principles, and in this quick solo episode, I discuss the first principle: reject the diet mentality.  This is a big one, so I'm covering it in more than one episode, starting with simply defining the diet mentality. Listen to find out what the diet mentality is (and isn't) and subscribe to make sure you don't miss future episodes where I'll dive into why the diet mentality is generally incompatible with intuitive eating and how to actually change your mindset.

Lori King is a working mom of two who recovered from both an eating disorder and Guillain-Barre syndrome and manages to conquer some of the world’s most intimidating ocean swims. The award-winning marathon swimmer’s many accomplishments include the Catalina channel swim (20 mi), the Manhattan Island swim (28.5 mi, the 8 Bridges Hudson River Staged Swim (7 days, 8 bridges, 120 miles), Capri-Napoli, Ibiza Marathon swim, and Kalamata, Greece. In 2016, the Long Island mother of two became the first woman (and second person) to successfully swim the 36.5 miles around the island of Bermuda in just over 21 hours.
This past June Lori swam the Ka’iwi channel (the Channel of Bones), one of the hardest channels in the world to complete due to its rough conditions and active sea life. And in August 2022 she swam from Block Island, RI  to Montauk, NY, a challenge that’s been called the “local Everest of swimming.”
