Exercise Satiation

I am interested in the overall concept of satiation and satiety in exercise, and created the concept of Exercise Satiation in 2018. My work involves the application of the concept to a variety of problematic exercise patterns, including those that are observed in eating disorders and other physical activity behaviors. I am interested in how hypo- or hyperactivity satiation and satiety serve as mechanisms for the development and maintenance of problematic exercise patterns and how the concept might be utilized to treat these patterns and restore and promote health in individuals. This is done through a variety of research methods, including self-report measures, behavioral observations, and physiological measures. I am currently working to set up my line of research, and am open to collaborations across a variety of fields, including psychology, psychiatry and kinesiology across a variety of measurement types. While my work is primarily in this area, I also collaborate with researchers on related areas, including those working in motivation for topic differentiation.

Mental Health & Eating Disorders Ethics

How do we do what we do in treating, researching and advocating for mental health in general and eating disorders in particular? What are the positive and negative outcomes of the interventions we use, and how do we balance those characteristics with the values of the helping profession; autonomy, beneficence & non-malfeasance? Do we have a stronger obligation to society or to individuals? How do these principals interact with different cultures globally as well as within the diversity of each individual, and across generations?
