EP141 - Monty’s Journey: From Health Scare to Strength and Confidence

In this episode, I sit down with Hipolito “Monty” Montero, a man whose weight loss journey has been deeply connected to his mindset, self-worth, and personal growth. Monty shares how childhood struggles, confidence issues, and emotional eating played a role in his weight gain, and how a wake-up call from his doctor changed everything.

After being told his heart was 53% bigger than it should be, Monty realised he had to take action—not just for himself, but for his family. His journey began with small steps, support from a friend, and the simple decision to run instead of walk. Over time, he built sustainable habits, found strength in a supportive community, and ultimately learned to love and respect himself.

This episode is packed with inspiration and actionable takeaways for anyone struggling with self-doubt, motivation, or breaking free from unhealthy habits.


Key Highlights:

The wake-up call: A health scare that forced Monty to make a change.

Small steps, big impact: How running and portion control started his transformation.

The power of mindset: Learning to value himself beyond the number on the scale.

Overcoming emotional eating: Finding better ways to cope with stress and past trauma.

Sustainable habits: Why experimenting with food, portion sizes, and lifestyle changes helped Monty maintain his progress.
