Destigmatising Male Eating Disorders with Andy Jones


Listen Later

In this week's podcast, Han is joined Andy Jones. Andy has personal experience of anorexia nervosa and is an advocate for sharing his mental health experience and reducing the stigma associated with eating disorders, particularly age. In this week's episode, we discuss:

  • Andy's personal experience of how his eating disorder developed.

  • The importance of mental health campaigning to Andy, and why he wants to share his story to support the lives of others.

  • Why it is not as simple as "just recover" despite the impact Andy's anorexia is having on his life, family, and relationships.

  • The impact anorexia has, and how weight loss becomes the priority and only focus of someone's life.

  • The spark that keeps Andy going, however small the step, and how he navigates recovery with his loved ones despite the difficulty and his struggles.

To find out more about Andy and to hear about his mental health advocacy, you can find him on Twitter @mynameisAndyJ.

Please note that this podcast discusses eating disorder topics and active anorexia in detail which some individuals may find triggering. Please check in with yourself along the way, and remember this is not a replacement for clinical support and advice.
