A Compelling, Life Changing Story - Going from 426lbs to 188lbs Naturally with Nikolas Quest
In this episode we get to hear from a special guest, Nikolas Quest. He isn’t our typical guest but his compelling story deserved to be heard by everyone who comes in contact with this episode!
After being diagnosed with a rare disease that caused him to become visually impaired, it really impacted his mental health, which ultimately resulted in his physical, emotional, and spiritual health going down the drain as well.
Antidepressants increase a hormone in your body called Ghrelin, which is the hunger hormone. Due to this, he just continued to eat and eat which resulted in him gaining 200+ lbs in 16 months. He graduated high school at 400 lbs and his highest weight was 426 lbs.
The turning point was the day that he looked in the mirror at 20 years old with acne and boils on his legs thinking he can’t live his life like this anymore. He was on antidepressants and antipsychotics because of his depression and the lack of wanting to accept his disability. He shares how instead of having someone to talk to, which is all he wanted, they loaded him up on medications which only made the problem worse.
He made the executive decision to detox himself off of all the medication. For 3 weeks he experienced the shakes and cold sweats but he did not regret it! Just by getting off of the medication, he lost 60lbs!!!!!!!
This is something that he wanted to create longevity in to not just lose the weight but to create a healthy lifestyle that he could implement for the rest of his life. We discussed what it means to eat healthy and how some things that are marketed to us may seem healthy but there are a bunch of ingredients we can’t read in them. This goes to show truly how important it is to read the ingredients on the label because it is important to know what you are putting into your body!
Bible verse highlighted: Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.” When we don’t have the motivation, the discipline, or the strength to keep going, we can get that strength from Christ! God will uplift you when you do not want to keep going.
Grab your herbal tea, hot lemon water, or mushroom coffee and enjoy the listen!
