What this podcast is

As I just mentioned in the introduction, my name is Joshua Rivers, and this podcast is basically an audio journal of my journey back to better health.

To be truthful, though, I've never really been healthy - I just had a high metabolism until my mid-twenties that caught up to me. I went from 190 pounds in early 2008 to 294 pounds in early 2020.

As we go through the podcast, I'll probably be sharing more about my history. But, I'm basically on a journey to lose almost 100 pounds and get my overall health away from being "at risk" as much as possible.

What this podcast is not

This is not a "how-to" podcast from an expert. I don't plan on trying to explain the complexities and intricacies of how your body works, or different nutrition facts, or how different exercises will help you. Of course, I'll touch on each of these as we go, but, again, I'm not an expert in this field. Maybe I'll have and share some conversations with people that are experts, but no guarantee.

 

What to expect

I plan to share at least one episode a week, maybe more. I'm expecting that the episodes will generally be short (10-15 minutes or less), unless I do have a conversation with a guest expert, then those will be longer.

As I stated, this is mostly an audio journal of my personal journey, and it's also a form of accountability. So, yes, I will be focusing more on what I'm doing in relation to diet and exercise.

 

How you can join me

While this podcast is about my journey (or at least it's starting this way), I'd like to invite you to join me. If you've listened to this so far, my guess is that you're on a similar journey. Let's see if we can help keep each other accountable and help each other achieve lasting results.

I just set up a Facebook group. If you'd like to join, go to OverweightPodcast.com/fb.

It can be a group to encourage each other, keep each other accountable, and pass on different insights as each of us progress through our own journeys.
