About Jonathan McLernon:
Hi, I’m Coach Jon! Since you’re here … I might as well introduce myself!
So, yeah, Freedom Nutrition Coaching is my jam. But how the heck did I get here?
From Nanotechnology Researcher (University of Victoria), to Marine Engineer (Navy), to globetrotting English teacher (visiting 45 countries on 5 continents) to running a Nutrition and Supplement store, I’ve had a pretty interesting journey.
Somewhere amidst the crazy adventures of my life, though, I lost myself. I went through serious trauma while living in South Africa, and my weight ballooned up to 328lbs, as I grappled with PTSD, binge-eating, and I medicated my trauma with food.
One morning, in Istanbul, Turkey, I woke up and decided I didn’t want to be a victim to my past anymore. And so I embarked on the most challenging journey of my life.
