01/18/18 • 67 min

Eating whatever you want may seem like the easiest thing in the world but when you are a trainer who thinks about food as nutrition and energy, devouring a pizza and 2-liters of root beer can do some serious damage to your mental health. After being invited on the show and then subsequently being dismissed, Jessi kept true to her word and gained 50 pounds, had major health issues and helped her husband, Jeremy to lose over 100 pounds. Much of Jessi’s story will and determination never made it on the show. She shares all the nitty gritty details during this conversation with Drew.
