Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #491: How Fred Used My Work to Lose 215 Pounds and Turn His Life Around


Listen Later

In this episode, I interview Fred, who used my work to help radically transform his life and literally save his life.

Fred originally got in touch through one of my Live Q&As on Instagram, and after hearing his story, I decided he’d make a great guest.

Why?

Before finding my work, Fred was 415 pounds, and dying.

That sounds dramatic, but the truth is he had a heart attack, his kidneys were failing, and his doctors suggested he say his goodbyes to friends and loved ones.

This was enough to make Fred take stock of his situation and decide to make a change.

He started going to the gym. And he lost some weight. Then he found my site, which helped him lose over 200 pounds.

Now Fred is a fitness coach himself, paying it forward and inspiring others, showing through example that anyone can improve their health, fitness, and longevity, no matter how bad their situation may seem.

In this interview, Fred and I discuss his story, how he ended up in the hospital, how he started getting healthier, how he refused to make excuses, and what it takes to completely change your life.

So if you’re looking for a jolt of inspiration and like motivational stories, I highly recommend you listen to this episode.
