A young woman, Holly Jordas, is now sharing her personal journey to combat eating disorders. At just 12 years old, Jordas began to experience difficulties, stemming from the intense pressures associated with being a dancer and the pervasive influence of social media.
Her condition worsened significantly, leading to hospitalization at age 13 due to critically low body weight. She remained in the hospital for a year, receiving care until she was 14. During this challenging period, Jordas and her mother received invaluable assistance from Jersey Eating Disorder Support (JEDS).
Jordas credits JEDS with saving her life. While she has continued to navigate her recovery, she is now actively managing a healthier lifestyle. Her focus has shifted towards personal training and exercise, embodying a testament to her resilience and ongoing commitment to well-being.
