Veronique Cormier is a -57 kg powerlifter from New Brunswick, Canada and the owner of Leafy Gains, a vegan protein cookie business she started during the pandemic. In this episode, Veronique shares her struggle with binge-eating disorder and helps us understand that it's not just eating a lot of food in one sitting. She talks us through her relapse after Nationals 2019, where she reached her rock bottom, and describes exactly how she recovered and the positive impacts powerlifting had throughout the entire process. Veronique shows us that it's possible to pursue powerlifting competitively without sacrificing recovery. Struggling with BED made her lose trust in herself, but powerlifting rebuilt it and continues to make it stronger.
