About this listen
In this powerful episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini welcomes back former U.S. Olympian and elite professional boxer Danny O’Connor to discuss the dangerous intersection of weight-class sports and eating disorders. Danny pulls back the curtain on his 15-year career, revealing how extreme weight cutting and binge eating became a normalized, secret struggle that eventually landed him in the ICU on the brink of a world championship fight. By sharing his journey from his 2013 "epiphany" to his current role as an advocate and author of Weight Class, Danny challenges the stigma surrounding male eating disorders. He explores the psychological shift from "discipline" to a total loss of control and offers a roadmap for recovery that emphasizes honest awareness, multifaceted professional support, and finding the "footholds" necessary to stay the course toward healing.
