Triple J works for the federal government, he’s a minister at his church, and he wears a lot of other hats, as well. Triple J shares his inspiring journey of health transformation through intermittent fasting and lifestyle changes. Starting from a background of spiritual fasting, Triple J faced significant health challenges, including type two diabetes and a high A1C level. Through a combination of keto and intermittent fasting, he successfully lowered his A1C and ultimately came off all medications and put his diabetes into remission. He discusses the importance of clean fasting, listening to his body, and adapting his diet to maintain his health. The conversation also touches on his heart surgery and the ongoing journey of recovery and family legacy. At one point in his journey, Triple J experienced some self-sabotage, and he needed to work through that challenge. He explains how community support has been instrumental in achieving health goals. He emphases the power of mindset and having patience in the process. Triple J highlights the significance of sharing experiences within a supportive community and offers encouragement for those starting their own health journeys. As the episode ends, Triple J tells new intermittent fasters to be patient—with both yourself, and the process. Don’t try to do everything all at once, and know that good things take time and can’t be rushed. Get Gin’s books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html . Good news!
