37. From Anorexic To Top Female Ultra Runner with Michelle Hurn R.D.

Author: Zane Griggs: Fitness Expert November 30, 2020 Duration: 1:00:00

Today, we welcome Michelle Hurn RD and ultra-distance runner, to Hunger Hunt Feast!


Treated with severe anorexia at 12 years old and given a 10% chance of survival by her doctor, she started running cross country as a teenager and began following a vegetarian diet to run faster and be thinner.

Shortly after, she developed osteopenia and had stress fractures in her hip at 18 years old. Desperate for a better life, she added some meat back into her diet and ran cross country in college until she had another stress fracture in her hip which ended her college running career.

After college, she became a Registered Dietician and struggled with advising patients by the dietary guidelines she knew were causing the health problems.

After many years, Michelle decided to go back to her love of running and started competing in marathons and ultra-marathon as an adult. This is what brought her switch to a more meat driven diet and life style, her results will blow you away.

Hosted by fitness expert Zane Griggs, Hunger Hunt Feast | Strategic Fitness digs into a fundamental rhythm that shapes everything we do. It starts with a craving-for better health, a stronger body, or a more fulfilling life. That’s the Hunger. What follows is the strategic pursuit, the Hunt, where plans are made and work gets done. Finally, there’s the Feast, enjoying the tangible results and the satisfaction that comes from earning them. This isn’t just a metaphor for the gym; it’s a lens for viewing business, relationships, and personal growth. Each episode of this podcast unpacks practical, actionable ways to channel that innate drive. You’ll hear conversations that move beyond generic advice, focusing instead on the systems and mindsets that turn a need into focused action, and that action into a reward. It’s for anyone tired of abstract theories and ready to apply a timeless, powerful pattern to their fitness, nutrition, and broader life ambitions. Tune in to transform your hunger into a strategy, and your strategy into a feast.
