Depression affects nearly 20 million adults in the US alone every year, and even that number is considered by many to be underreported because of the negative stigma associated with depression. In this episode, Nikki Kimball, one of, if not the most accomplished female ultra runners of all time, shares her story of opening up about her own battle with severe depression during the height of her running career. I am so grateful that she used the platform that she had to bring more awareness around this crippling disease. Plus she shares amazing stories about her career and talks about her Integrated Running camp that combines physical and mental health along with nutrition, mindfulness and running, to help people struggling with mental illness.
