Food was Jeff Lester's drug of choice. Like many of us, Jeff had a lot of great things happen in childhood but also a lot of toxic dynamics, dysfunctional relationships, and trauma. As a result, Jeff tipped the scale at 300 lbs before graduating high-school. Battling with the pressure to please his parents and society, Jeff decided to became an engineer against his internal resistance. Later during a weight-loss journey, Jeff turned to exercise. Fitness and health then became a gateway to his first transformation. This led Jeff on a his current path to pursue his passion in teaching wellness and expanding human consciousness.
Jeff is a long-time student and teacher of yoga, and has explored the world studying and training extensively in practices ranging from yoga and meditation to shamanic ceremonial traditions. His brand, 'Jefe Living,' creates community around meditation and coaching to support individuals in their journey and transformational process.
In this episode we talk about:
- Weight loss and the journey to an inner transformation
