Marshall Tufly joins me on this week's episode to talk about his journey to lose over 400 pounds... but it is more than that. Marshall opens up about the impact of trauma in his life shaped his perceptions, his feelings about himself, and the incredible challenges he had to battle to get where he is today. We pull no punches this week and discuss topics well beyond simply changing your eating habits. It is appropriate that we discuss Marshall's journey during National Men's Mental Health Month for sure!! I am excited for you to meet Marshall and be inspired by his triumphs and his battles.

The title of this episode is no exaggeration! Rich Trapp woke up in the hospital after being in a medically induced coma to sit face to face with his weight on the wall, 727 pounds. In this episode we get into how he ended up there in 2018 and how 2 years later he was running marathons. Our talk goes way beyond diet and exercise as we dive deep into how our culture perceives bigger people and how we perceive ourselves, the intersections of addiction and more. Don't miss this deep dive!
