I feel almost a duty to get out there and to educate people on orthorexia through, like you were saying, that lived experience.
Jason Wood, an author and mental health advocate, opens up about his battle with orthorexia—a lesser-known eating disorder fixated on healthy eating. As a child, Jason was often labeled the 'fat kid' and found validation through extreme dieting. But this quest for approval led him down a perilous path of disordered eating and mental health issues.
In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', Jason shares his journey from orthorexia to sobriety, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs along the way. He also discusses his upcoming book, 'Starving for Survival', which aims to raise awareness about the dangers of orthorexia and the importance of seeking help. Host Christopher Heimerman and Jason delve into the critical role of language in mental health and the need to break the stigma surrounding eating disorders.
Jason’s story is a testament to the power of therapy, community support, and the courage to confront one’s demons. His experiences offer valuable insights for anyone grappling with similar issues, emphasizing that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
