ER Shred Podcast

The definition of insanity: the state of being seriously mentally ill; madness. Or, it could also mean, extreme foolishness or irrationality. They say that if we do the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result, without changing the game plan, that could also be defined as insanity. How many of us have done this with our #healthandwellness goals before? All I know is that I'm super excited my guest tonight decided to break his insanity mold and try something very different. Dexter Jensen is a 36-year-old male, from Billings, MT. He is an outside sales rep for a heavy equipment dealership, and he's also the owner of a window tinting shop. Dexter has been married for 10 years, and he shares 3 kids, 25,20, and 3 with his amazing wife. Dexter started his first shred with us on 10/1/21, where he weighed in at 305lbs. Dexter shared with me that he is down 50lbs already, and the only thing he has done to make that happen was the #ERShred.

What's the deal with snacks and how do I go about trying different foods?

Tonight on Shred Your Body, I have a very special split call for you 🤩 For the first half hour or so, I’ll dive deeper in to one of the most intriguing ERShredder stories to date {see below}. The remaining time, we’re going to cover the topics of #calaries & #carbs. Yup! We’re going there 😜 Why don’t you need to count calories to be successful? How can carbs benefit me, if any at all? Imagine being in church one day and seeing someone drinking a shake. It makes you curious, and you ask more about it. From there, your life drastically takes a 180 degree turn for the better. This is a real story, and it’s the story of how my guest tonight on Shred Your Body, Mr. Robert Visser 🥳 Robert’s words: April 19th, I started my very first ERshred. I weighed in at 310 pounds. Wow what a journey it has been. I've been a type 2 diabetic since 2007 and I had to stop taking my mealtime insulin because my body was adapting to this new lifestyle so well. I even had to buy a whole new wardrobe because my clothes didn't fit me anymore. I went from a 46 inch waist down to a 34! After this month of December, my 9th ERshred, I lost another 11 pounds and a couple more inches. I now surpassed my weight loss goal of 230 lbs!!!!! I’m currently at 228. In 8 months times, after 9 ERshreds, I’ve lost 82 pounds and a whole lot of inches off my entire body. Another win of mine, as of a couple nights ago, I had to stop taking insulin all together, including my bedtime shots, because my sugars were crashing. I’m not saying the ERShred cured me in anyway, I’m simply sharing my story of what’s happened by learning to fuel myself with only the best nutrition. What a journey it has been so far. I am far from being done! I can't thank my shredder tribe enough, and want to give an honorable mention to Chanel Kasteel, Tammy Kasteel, and Charlene Feenstra. They have all helped me so much along the way.
