Ep 56 - James Wythe ’Healthy Living James’ - From bed bound ME/CFS suffered to food blogger with 1 million followers

How did James Wythe go from years bed bound with ME/CFS to sharing his recipes, to full time food blogger? What has his journey taught him about resilience?

James Wythe, better known as Healthy Living James, is a qualified health coach, cookbook author and full time food blogger with over 1 million followers.

Growing up James was incredibly sporty, and when he was 12, he started to fall in love with golf and wanted to be a professional golfer when he grew up.

But on the 4th December 2010 life took a dramatic turn for James when he fell ill seemingly overnight. It would be an illness that left him bed bound for 2 years and house bound for the next 4 years. He was diagnosed with ME/CFS, and faced debilitating symptoms, including weight loss, extreme sensitivities, and insomnia.

With the help of his family, and a nutritionist, his story is one of recovery, albeit very gradually. During his recovery he taught himself to cook from scratch, and later started sharing his recipes. With his book released in 2022, and his huge following of fans of his simple, dairy and gluten free recipes, this was how Healthy Living James came to be the huge success he is today.
