Eating disorders in men are still treated as a footnote, even now, even with everything we know about mental health. Josh has spent years working with families whose teenagers are going through the same thing he once did, bringing both lived experience and real practical insight to conversations most parents don't know how to start.

In this episode we talk about what his anorexia actually looked like as a young man, the turning point in his recovery, how he now helps other families recognise the signs early.

We also get into athlete development in rugby league, what the sport gets right when it comes to young men's growth throughout their formative years.

Josh's passion in helping men overcome their own challenges in their mental health. Everything from social anxiety, the fear of speaking up about their struggles, and how that can impact their home life.

A raw, honest conversation about a topic that doesn't get talked about enough. Let this episode be an important reminder that, you are not alone and that true strength is asking for help when you need it.

Enjoy and please share with someone who needs to hear this conversation.
