Episode 6 - Nina Chydenius

Speaking to this Finnish athlete was inspiring. The mother of two children suffered with anorexia, depression and RED-S for over 10 years. She mentions about her time in America struggling with the demands of training in the pool due to under-fuelling her body. She speaks about suffering with mental health issues and ending up in hospital for 6 months not feeling herself. She talks about picking up 7 stress fractures in the space of 7 years and the battles she has had to overcome to ensure a healthier life. With her family being a massive inspiration to her sport, she has progressively brought her times down over the last few years and wants to be the best Finnish runner there is. It was honestly inspiring to hear her speak about the whole aspect of running understanding the values of mental health. I loved speaking to her and I hope you can follower her journey further
