Not fulfilling duty of care
The founder messaged me after I followed his personal account on Instagram. I explained that his programme looked great but that it was not right for me atm. He asked why and I explained that I had previously had an eating disorder and could find it quite triggering. After sharing this sensitive information with him, he totally dismissed it and insisted that it is good to be “obsessed”. He even mocked eating disorders, saying “don’t starve yourself to death”. As someone offering a programme like this, he should be more educated about the dangers and risks associated with it. I also expected more empathy and awareness from someone who’s partner describes herself as a mental health advocate.
