Hello, welcome to the Jeff MacColino podcast.

Let's jump right into it.

Today I have Jonathan Mikkelernen is my guest and he is an emotional eating expert.

He's lost 100 pounds.

He is a trauma survivor.

We talk about that almost murdered in South Africa, fascinating story of sad story,

but you know, amazing to hear, I don't know, he's an nutritionist and he focuses a lot

on behavioral psychology which is so interesting to me.

I know in the past and I think I've mentioned it on the podcast many times that, you know,

I want to lose weight, I've done some diets, blah, blah, blah and I've had people tell

me you're just not mentally in a place where you're, you know, where you're ready to lose

a lot of weight.

I need to lose about 50 pounds thereabouts.

End up talking a lot about his travels, his surviving, this incident in South Africa,

and then about his coaching with nutrition.

It's fascinating and a lot of talk about me in this one too, which I know, that's why

you're here.

I don't know why you're here, but I hope you enjoyed it.

It's a very interesting conversation and I hope anyone who has any struggles as far as

weight loss and stuff like that, or really, I feel like it translates to just bad habits.

Even if you're dead, if you have a problem with smoking or drinking like I do, or eating

too much pizza, whatever it is, very fascinating.
