Ep. 43: Jonathan McLernon- Lost 100 lbs to become a Nutritional Coach
After almost being murdered while living in South Africa, his weight ballooned well past 300lbs, as he grappled with PTSD, binge-eating, and self-medicating with food. One morning Jon woke up and decided he didn’t want to be a victim to his trauma and began what he says was the most challenging journey of his life.
Although Jon used to live a hyper masculine type of lifestyle, his sensitive and empathetic nature was far better suited to coaching people on their weight loss journey.
