At the age of 17, James Aspey was diagnosed with leukaemia and given six weeks to live. Over the next 3 years, he fought to survive, which he did. He emerged from that battle with a new appreciation of life and a personal understanding of suffering.
During his treatment he’d gained 23kg and after being given the all clear he began, with the help of a trainer to get his weight and fitness back on track. Inspired by the help he’d got James became a personal trainer too. It was whilst on a cruise ship working as a PT that James met a man that would completely change the path of his life.
He began to question some of the things he’d always believed about food and health and embarked on a journey that would lead him first to giving up eating animals, then to giving up his voice for animals and finally, to what he does today, speaking all over the world about animals and veganism.
His words are visceral and provocative, his message is hard to hear...but more and more people are listening, and that’s why I asked James to come on the show. If you want to get some lessons from a master speaker, with a heartfelt message that is influencing people across the globe to make a major shift in their life and beliefs...then listen to this show...but be warned... at times you may find what James says disturbing and challenging.

In episode 12, I speak to James Aspey, who became known globally when he went silent for a year to raise awareness for the voiceless, the billions of animals who suffer and are killed every year for our taste - in food and clothing.
Since he has dedicated his life to continue this plight and his speeches have been seen millions of times, and he has the incredible ability to speak the sometimes uncomfortable truth - and get people to hear what he is saying, when often they would instead turn away. We speak about his journey, his why's and how's of living vegan - his passion is contagious but it is backed up by important facts we all need to know and consider.
#33: My guest for you today is James Aspey a vegan who is an animal rights activist who comitted to a vow of silence for 365 days to get his message out to the world. He goes over vegan diets, why killing animals is wrong, vegan alternatives to meat, and how to be vegan in the most healthiest way possible.
Once you’ve experienced true fear and suffering, it’s hard to ignore the agony and trauma of others.
James Aspey was diagnosed with cancer at only 17 and was told he’d be dead in six weeks if he didn’t start chemotherapy immediately.
After three years of treatment, he’d gained 50 pounds and developed a severe binge eating disorder.
As he worked to find peace and healing through the principles of Vipassana meditation, he was exposed to the realities of the meat and dairy industries.
James made vows to resist the impulses of his bulimia, to never consume animal products again, and to stay silent for 365 days to raise awareness and promote peace over violence.
He joins Dotsie and Alexandra in this episode to share how making the switch has been spiritually liberating and has allowed him to live truly aligned with his values.
You’ll hear how he broke out of his food addiction, his tips for transitioning to veganism, and why it’s so important to be part of animal activism outside of your personal plate.
What we discuss in this episode:
- The article recently published in a New York university’s Women’s and Gender Studies journal that’s calling out the sexual abuse of dairy cows
- James’s story of being diagnosed with cancer at 17 and dealing with three years of treatment
- How eating out of boredom and a need for pleasure led to a serious binge eating disorder
- How a Vipassana meditation course and a book by Jennifer Taitz gave James the tools he needed to break free from his bulimia

- The four must-watch documentaries James recommends if you want to understand the importance of going vegan: Forks Over Knives, What the Health, Cowspiracy, and Dominion
