- Fitness
What started out for Jason as a desire to be fit and healthy, to look and feel good, quickly became an obsession. 15 years on, he reflects on how his initial desire to diet has impacted his entire life, how it is fuelled by a deep desire for control and how his traumatic upbringing and own near misses with health influenced his lifestyle.
He is a true survivor; living with OCD and anxiety, encouraging others to speak up about their struggles and an advocate for male mental health. He is now a published author of the book 'Starving for Survival', the real and inspiring story of his journey.
TW this podcast discusses issues of eating disorders, mental health and drug use.
