James Roffey: My Ten Year Battle With An Eating Disorder

EP.6 of Season two is out now!
In this special episode of our podcast, we sit down with James Roffey, a courageous individual who shares his deeply personal journey of battling an eating disorder for over a decade. Through his story, James sheds light on the often overlooked reality that eating disorders affect people of all genders and ages, breaking the stereotype and inspiring many men and women across the world who have experience eating disorders.
With remarkable vulnerability, James recounts the early signs and triggers that led to the development of his eating disorder. He describes the immense pressure he felt from society expectations, personal insecurities, and a relentless pursuit of the "perfect" body. This discussion dives into the emotional turmoil he faced, and the impact this had on the close people around him
Throughout the episode, James shares the various treatments and therapies he pursued on his road to recovery. From therapy sessions and support groups to nutritional counselling, he highlights the nature of healing from an eating disorder. His story is a testament to the resilience from himself and the power of seeking professional help in overcoming such a mental health challenge.
I want to thank James for being a role model for so many people and being so open about such a difficult and personal subject. If you are struggling with an eating disorder or any mental health battle make sure you reach out to people that you can talk to.
