Welcome to this episode of Healthy AF! Zane Griggs' interview with Jason Atkinson, host of the Health Hackers podcast. In this inspiring conversation, Jason shares how he overcame his own health struggles and is now helping others to do the same.
At 254 pounds and 33% body fat, Jason was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but instead of relying on medication, he decided to take control of his health and find alternative solutions. Through his journey, he realized that the medical system is not set up to help people get healthy and that we should take charge of our own health.
Jason made significant changes to his diet by cutting out wheat and focusing on meat, and increased his workout routine, leading him to lose over 50 pounds. He has since maintained his weight under 200 pounds for seven years, following a low carb, animal-based diet. Jason's transformation inspired him to become a personal trainer, and he now helps others achieve their health goals.
Jason's story is a testament to the power of making positive changes and taking charge of our health. If you want to learn more about his journey, you can visit his website at eatmeatnotwheat.com.
