SOSH 15: Josh LaJaunie

Stories of Self-Healing with Nurse Kristin

Born and raised on the bayou in Southern Louisiana, Josh grew up with a lethal relationship to food that caused him to become over 400 pounds.

It was when the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl in 2010, that Josh realized the impossible is possible. This forever changed Josh. Something that he believed could never and would never happen, happened. Soon after this, Josh changed his way of thinking and let go of what he thought was normal. Josh went to college, got an education, started working out, started losing weight, and then started running. Once Josh started running, he stopped caring so much about the number on the scale and started caring about optimal health and fitness. And it was those things that became his biggest driver. Josh soon decided to go to the "next level" and decided to really clean up his diet. Josh cut out all meat and dairy and started running marathons and eventually has now worked his way up to running Ultra Marathons. Josh has completely changed his lifestyle and has been inspiring others along the way. He now speaks on stages about health and fitness and really is a great example of how no matter where you are in life or what you perceive your limitation to be, you can overcome those obstacles and truly create something great.
