Judy Cho built a public platform by sharing something deeply personal: her own path out of a twelve-year struggle with eating disorders and depression. On the Digital Social Hour, Judy Cho sat down with Sean Kelly to walk through that journey in detail, from her years as a plant-based advocate to the dietary shift she credits with turning her health around.
The conversation moves well beyond diet trends into the specifics of her recovery story — what she tried, what didn't work, and the changes she says finally did. It's a personal account, offered in her own words, of a health journey many listeners will recognize pieces of in their own lives.
About Judy Cho
Judy Cho is a nutrition educator and the founder of Nutrition with Judy, a platform built around her own recovery story and the nutrition education she now offers others. Before that work, she spent over a decade navigating eating disorders and severe depression while following a plant-based diet, an experience she has since spoken about publicly and in detail.
After shifting to a carnivore-based approach to eating, Judy Cho says she experienced significant changes in her mental health and has since built a following around nutrition education, gut health, and food-mood connections. She shares her story and research at nutritionwithjudy.com and on Instagram, where she continues to document her ongoing work in the space.
