In this week's episode, we interview mountain athlete and mental health advocate Sean Van Horn. Sean Van Horn is a trail runner and ski mountaineer based in Carbondale, Colorado.  While he has spent 20 years competing as an elite athlete, during much of that time he was battling with psychological issues, including depression and an eating disorder.  A strong advocate for mental health awareness, Sean is unabashed in sharing his own struggles in the hopes that it can aid others and help to erode the stigma surrounding these disorders.

We discuss the intersection of mental health and performance, why there is so much stigma surrounding eating disorders, and how we can shift narratives to encourage athletes to fuel properly, for both sport and life. You can follow Sean on social @sean_mvanhorn.
