    The Emily Program - Anorexia_1
    Aug 19 2025
    C&A's Health, Hope and Happiness podcast concludes our three-part series in collaboration with the Emily Program, focused on healthy eating and the mental health of young athletes.

    In our first two episodes, we had powerful conversations with Brittany Davis and Megan Merrells about balanced nutrition, bigorexia and the pressure many athletes feel around body image.

    Now, in this final installment, we turn our attention to anorexia nervosa—specifically, how it impacts girls and female athletes. This is a serious and often overlooked issue, and we dig into how it affects not just performance, but overall well-being and mental health.

    Brittany, the Midwest senior regional director, and Megan, a registered dietitian, return with insightful, practical advice for coaches and parents. They break down what signs to look for and how to support athletes who might be struggling.

    It’s an important, eye-opening conversation with potentially life-saving takeaways. Let’s get into it.

  • What is the affect of bigorexia on male athletes?

    What is the affect of bigorexia on male athletes?
    Aug 11 2025
    The Health, Hope and Happiness podcast continues it's three-part series with the Emily Program discussing healthy eating habits for athletes. Today, Brittany Davis, the Midwest senior regional director, and Megan Merrells, a registered dietician, discuss bigorexia, and how this eating disorder affects male athletes.

    Although the term may sound new, 'bigorexia'—or muscle dysmorphia—is a growing mental health issue among male athletes. These are individuals who, despite being muscular or in peak physical condition, believe they’re never big or strong enough. Many continue to lift excessively, rely on supplements, and in some cases, even purge food in pursuit of an unattainable ideal.

    While eating disorders in female athletes have been extensively studied and discussed, male eating disorders often fly under the radar—overlooked by parents, coaches, and even athletic trainers. In today’s world of strength training, performance enhancement, and image-driven social media, it’s time we shift the conversation.

    In this episode, you'll hear a unique perspective on how male athletes view themselves—and learn how to spot the signs when self-image becomes self-destructive. It’s an important and eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss."

  • What should athletes be eating — and how much?

    What should athletes be eating — and how much?
    Jul 29 2025
    Welcome to this episode of Health, Hope and Happiness podcast, the first in a special three-part series focused on youth and athletic wellness.

    Today, we're joined by two guests from The Emily Program, Brittany Davis, Midwest regional director, and Megan Merrells, a registered dietitian, who bring years of experience supporting young athletes and youth navigating eating disorders.

    In this episode of Health, Hope and Happiness, Dan Mucci talks with experts from the Emily Program about building healthy eating habits, hydration, and spotting early signs of nutritional disorders.

    In this episode, we take a closer look at healthy eating habits for athletes. Brittany and Megan break down what proper nutrition really looks like for developing athletes, how eating impacts both physical performance and mental health, and the subtle signs parents and coaches should watch for when it comes to disordered eating. We also dive into the unique challenges posed by some sports that involve extreme weight components and how these can contribute to eating distorders.

    Brittany offers valuable reminders throughout the conversation about the importance of bringing joy and “fun” when eating, even in competitive environments. Plus, we explore how supplements can either support or hinder nutrition, and why food should always be the foundation for any athlete’s health.

    Whether you're a coach, a parent, or an athlete yourself, this episode is packed with practical insights and compassionate advice to help build healthier, stronger young athletes on and off the field. Let’s dive in.
