Spotlight: Aaron Pearson

As an adult I've battled with my weight for the last 15 years. Yoyoing between being a healthy weight and unhealthy weight over and over again. In December of 2020 I got COVID and fortunately my case was very mild despite being a lifelong asthmatic who gets bronchitis 1-2 times yearly.

In April of 2021 I decided again to lose weight and be healthier overall. About 1 month in I stumbled upon this AG podcast and it changed everything. I was a fan of Ethan and many of his movies and My Name Is Earl and found his weightloss journey so motivational and haven't missed an episode although I sometimes fall behind I always catch up.

During July of 2021 I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and decided to completely cut out red meat and cut way back on dairy. By December of 2021 I had lost 50lbs since I started in April and I feel like Ethan and the AG podcast are a huge contributor to my success... so far.

His approach of cutting for a certain amount of time followed by a maintenance period has completely changed the way I look at dieting and getting healthier and for the 1st time have maintained my weight for the past 8 weeks. This Saturday (02/05/2022) upon waking up I'll weigh myself (1 time per month) and starting Sunday I will start 6 weeks of cutting with the goal of reaching 170lbs which is a weight I haven't been at in 16+years.

I started this journey at 226lbs (obese according to my doctor) and in December I weighed in at 176lbs which I never thought would be possible. I'm so excited that my new goal of 170lbs is withing my grasp and I get so pumped up telling people my journey and helping them get started on theirs. Thank you AG podcast for changing my life.

Thank you again,

Aaron Pearson
