## Resource

After a terrifying health scare that felt like a stroke and a heart-wrenching final promise to his mother, Jonathan Boulware transformed from a 300-pound casino executive into a lifestyle change expert. In this episode, he reveals why focusing on a weight-loss goal is actually the reason most people fail and how mastering the psychology of your "Why" is the only way to sustain health for a lifetime. Discover the five-step framework used to bridge the gap between a doctor’s orders and real-world results.
