NFX #121: Freedom Nutrition w/ Jon McLernon

Coach Jon McLernon is the founder and head coach of Freedom Nutrition Coaching. But, he didn't graduate high school wanting to be a nutrition professional.

From Nanotechnology Researcher, to Marine Engineer (Navy), to globetrotting English teacher (visiting 45 countries on 5 continents), he's had a pretty interesting journey.
Amidst the crazy adventures of life, he went through serious trauma while living in South Africa, and his weight ballooned up to 328lbs. He grappled with PTSD, binge-eating, and medicated his trauma with food. Name a diet.  He's probably tried it. He didn’t just magically lose 100lbs overnight.

Instead, driven by compassion and real-life experience, he focuses on behavioral psychology and unravelling emotional ties to food, to help his clients not only lose weight, but to live a vibrant life that they truly enjoy, so that they never have to diet again.

As a former supplement store owner, with a background in chemistry, he's had access to and tried thousands of supplements, including a foray into the world of nootropics, and bio-hacking.  He takes a grounded and measured approach to both, open to experimentation, but unlikely to be first in line for experimental compounds arriving on the market.
