Jessica Jones, a true super hero.
Today’s guest is Jessica Jones, not to be confused with the Marvel superhero. Jessica has done something quite extraordinary. She’s quit smoking cold turkey four times. She started smoking at age 16. Both of her parents were smokers, and it was her quest to prove to them it was easy to quit. Boy, was she wrong! Quitting smoking is HARD!
Before long, she was smoking a pack a day. This was followed by the development of an alcohol addiction that progressed over time. It was all fun and games until the inevitable side effects began to manifest.
Each time Jessica quit was just as difficult as the last, and she always ended up lighting back up within a year or two. The final time, however, was different. Rather than simply quitting smoking, she incorporated a complete lifestyle change through what she has dubbed the "4 F’s to Cold Turkey Success."
Exercise releases neurotransmitters that make you feel good and decrease pain. It also, when done right, works with the endocannabinoid system to produce a “high” that can effectively:
-Reduce or even eliminate cigarette cravings
-Produce an intense feeling of euphoria
-Induce positive physical changes to start reversing the damage done to the body
Jessica has made it her mission in life to help others take control of their lives the way she has, which led her to become a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Tobacco Treatment Specialist. She is also a staff writer for FitRated.com and TreadmillReviews.net and teaches the Silver Sneakers and high-intensity interval training classes at her local YMCA. She’s currently developing her own fitness program, QuitFitly, to help others tackle addiction through the neurobiological effects of exercise just like she did.
