Anorexia: Woman who battled eating disorder is now fitness coach Tia Ainsworth's eating disorder left her too weak to exercise - now she's helping others to weight train.

Excited to be quoted in this BBC article on eating disorder recovery & weightlifting! πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ
πŸ”— www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My PhD explored how women use weightlifting as a tool in eating disorder recovery, so Tia's story really resonated.
