JODIE YUNKER
FORGING HER OWN PATH
I was 23 years old and about 70 lbs pounds soaking wet, I was running anywhere from 12 to about 20 miles every day, and maybe eating 500 to 800 calories at most. From 2012 to 2018, I struggled with anorexia and orthorexia. One day during my senior year of college my parents said to me, “Jodie, if you don’t choose to recover, and fight the demon inside of you, then chances are you will die at a very young age.” That was my wake up call. I told them, please let me do this on my own. Don’t question what I’m doing or why and I will prove to you guys that I can recover in a healthy way.
Her journey to recovery is incredible and her success today is truly inspiring!
