#05 Jonathan Perez | "I Didn't Want To Hit 400 Pounds on The Scale."

Welcome to the fifth episode of The Everyday Healthy Human Podcast!

In today's captivating interview, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Jonathan Perez, a remarkable individual who shared his incredible journey from being an accomplished triathlete in his youth to facing significant challenges as he navigated adulthood.

Jonathan opened up about his struggles, revealing that his weight had escalated to nearly 400 pounds. However, he didn't know the exact number at his heaviest, as he consciously avoided confronting it out of fear and apprehension. However, determined to take control of his health, Jonathan embarked on a transformative path. After researching various weight-loss options, he decided to undergo gastric sleeve surgery.

Driven by his desire for change, Jonathan contacted local doctors in Puerto Rico, only to discover a waitlist spanning approximately two years. Undeterred by the long wait, he refused to let time hinder his pursuit of a healthier future. Instead, Jonathan found a doctor in Mexico who could help him on his journey. 

With unwavering determination, Jonathan underwent surgery and accomplished a significant milestone by completing his first Ironman 70.3 in May. His journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the incredible possibilities that await those willing to embrace change.
