In this compelling episode of Working Weights LLC, host Coach Lamby and co-host Dwayne are joined by the remarkable Justin Gratzfeld, a nutrition and fitness coach, chronic illness advocate, and an inspirational comeback story. Justin's journey in health and fitness is far from ordinary, filled with challenges, resilience, and an unwavering passion for physical pursuits. Justin shares his extraordinary life experiences, from his adrenaline-fueled career as a professional wakeboarder to his demanding roles in massage therapy and firefighting. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he faced the loss of his athletic identity, battled depression, and encountered a brain infection that resulted in full body paralysis for a staggering 11 months. It was during this adversity that Justin underwent a profound personal transformation. During his recovery, Justin embarked on the '75 Hard' and 'Live Hard' programs, pushing his limits to run a marathon and reignite his health journey. However, despite rigorous efforts of consuming just 1500 calories and running 30 km a day, he found himself gaining weight. This led him on a quest to truly understand the human body, nutrition, and mental resilience. Through a carefully structured reverse dieting approach, Justin not only lost over 80 pounds but also increased his daily caloric intake to 3400 calories. In this episode, Justin imparts invaluable lessons he learned about the body, nutrition, and mental resilience throughout his remarkable journey. As a dedicated coach, he shares his knowledge and empowers others, especially those grappling with chronic illnesses, by simplifying the complex journey of weight loss and nutrition. Justin's mission is to unlock the potential for nutritional longevity and inspire individuals to overcome their own challenges.
