It’s time for another success story! My guest today is Jerrica Johnson. Jerrica shares her story about the ups and downs with her health, and one part of this is also gaining and losing weight multiple times. She tried everything to get her weight down: She eliminated all carbs from her diet, then all meat and eggs: she ate just one meal a day and did water fasts. She also did way too many HIT and cardio workouts, more than what her body was able to recover from. At first, it “worked” and she lost a lot of weight. But after some time, she started noticing changes like irregular periods, hot flashes, achy joints and weight gain. Eventually, no matter what she tried, she could not lose weight anymore. Her doctor’s advice was this: She should go on hormone replacement therapy. Jerrica figured that given her age (26), there had to be a better, more natural solution. After lots of searching and Googling, she came across my YouTube channel and contacted me. That was about 7 months ago. To her surprise, starting to eat more and starting weight lifting were the solutions to her problems. She is feeling a lot stronger now, her energy is back, she has lost weight and gained a lot of muscle, periods normal again, and she feels like a new person! I hope you enjoy today’s episode.
