The Real Dish Chef Mareya, The Fit Foodie

Nowadays, there’s a LOT of sizzling conversation semaglutides, aka Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are actually intended for people with Type 2 diabetes to help manage blood glucose levels. At the time of this recording, they are not FDA approved for weight loss, but because they have an off-label side effect of weight loss, and have the Hollywood blessing, a lot of people are on the bandwagon. Megastars like Oprah put a spotlight on it in her recent Weight Special on national television. What people don’t really see is that once you start taking these, this is intended to to be a long-term treatment, injected into your body once a week. Now, can we achieve stable blood sugar levels outside of an injection? Yes you can! Over the decade that I have been helping people live a thriving, fitlife – whether through the Daniel Plan that I helped create or my books, programs or talks - I’ve seen it happen thousands of times when lifestyle habits shift. And that’s what we’re going to really unpack today - a sustainable and healthy 'prescription' for weight and fat loss for the long haul. This is an episode you're going to want to save and share. Now grab a seat and pull up to the Chef's table.

I'm so excited for you to hear this episode because it's exactly the kind of story we all love - one where someone meets a life-threatening challenge and comes out better on the other side.  But there's much more to  Jared Maynard story and it has to do with the importance of being in the right shape to fight for your life.
Jared is a Physical Therapist, business owner, powerlifter, strength coach, husband and father of 3 girls who found out how strength training saves lives this year.
After spending years in the gym training his mind and body, tragedy struck. He was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called HLH that almost killed him. It took 5 weeks on life support and many months of rehabilitation for him to learn how to walk, talk and breathe on his own again.
While on life support, he was so weak that he couldn't receive nutrition for weeks. The muscle he spent years building in the gym became the fuel that sustained him to better days.
Now, as Jared continues through recovery, his mission is stronger than ever:
To help as many people as possible become so strong that they barely recognize themselves. To help them feel empowered to take on whatever life throws at them. To help them keep showing up for their spouses, kids friends and clients.
Jared works full time in his online strength coaching business, Unbreakable Strength, to do exactly that. When he's not working, you can find him reading superhero books with his daughters, sipping on delicious coffee and enjoying life in the Canadian countryside.
Pull up a seat at the chef's table and let's dig in.
