SOS Living Unveiled: Jerry Pujals' Journey to Wellness in Napa Valley
Hey there! Meet Jerry Pujals, the guest of our Chef AJ Live episode. At 57, Jerry's not just your average guy-he's a husband of 35 years, dad to four, and the proud grandpa of seven little rascals. Nestled in the scenic Napa Valley, his journey to wellness is like a rollercoaster with unexpected twists and turns.
So, picture this: Covid hits, and Jerry's dance with weight struggles takes a surprising turn. He spills the beans on the ups, downs, and downright crazy moments that led to shedding a whopping 80 pounds.
Digging into the wisdom of Dr. Joel Fuhrman, our own Chef AJ and Dr. John McDougall, Jerry embraces a vegan lifestyle, defying the odds and feeling like he's back in his 30s. Navigating the food haven that is Napa Valley and tackling his wife Susan's own food battles, Jerry spills the beans on the secrets to a holistic lifestyle change.
From dealing with severe back pain and joint issues to hiking Mount Whitney, running 12 miles, and busting out 100 push-ups, Jerry's journey is practically miraculous saga. His grit and commitment to wellness shine through every twist.
Now, Jerry's not just about his own journey-he's the host of the UA-cam podcast "Body Mind Index." Hang out with him and some cool guests like Dr. Doug Lyle, Dr. Alan Goldhammer, and Chef Kathy Fischer. It's more than a podcast; it's like eavesdropping on wisdom for anyone on their wellness journey. @BodyMindIndex
So, kick back and join Jerry on Chef AJ Live. No frills, just a real guy sharing his story straight up. It's not just a journey; it's a salute to a healthier, happier life. Here's to Jerry Pujals-a living testament to embracing life with all its craziness! 🎉
Before going WFPB I had difficulty doing 5 laps without a rest. WFPB gave me a new life. 12/24/22, although an ethical vegan, many years of dairy clogged my arteries and I needed a stent in the LAD. My journey began a year ago, absorbing everything I could find in wFPB. Chef AJ was such a blessing
Just decided to follow the whole foods/no-SOS diet.
I never heard the term "no-SOS" until I heard AJ say it.
I NEVER thought that I could live without salt. I NEVER thought that I could eat potatoes WITHOUT salt.....but I can!
Now I actually LOOK FORWARD to salads! I NEVER in a million years thought that I would be a "salad guy."
Really enjoyed this guest!!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Love your story Jerry. Planning my first marathon this year. Going to sign up for flying pigs in Cincinnati…… power of plants…… Beware the power of KALE. I will be 62 this year and feel great. Will travel from Canada to the USA …. just because.
Thanks for the kind words.
You are blowing my mind ❤
What a great guest!
He is very relatable.
Thank you for the validation and kind words 😊
Very inspiring! I went to my gp yesterday because I experience so much joint pains that I can hardly walk up and down the stairs. I am 62. I need to walk the same path as todays guest did. 🙏
I appreciate him including eat to live. I know Dr. Fuhrman has struggled a bit with his reputation in the plan based community but, that was the first book I read. That was the book that started me on a journey that eventually saved my life and I’m happy to see him celebrated for that!
Ditto - his book was the first book on CD that I listened to, then got the book, and started slowly down the WFPB path.
Same here 🎉
Ditto!
Same. My dad had given me a copy of Eat to Live a long time ago, and I thought Dr. Fuhrman was insane. He can be savage in his delivery, but everything he says is really true.
Hi, Chef AJ, my only hard time being on a WFPB no-SOS is when I travel internationally with no time to buy fresh food/cook, always being out and about. Either I fast or I eat at restaurants and try my best to order the least possible harmful meal. I can’t wait to go back home 😆
There’s nothing like the clean environment of home.
Safe travels 😊
Awesome, it is actually the best feeling ever and your digestion will love you. It is a beautiful thing is it not? Water is the drink of choice. Whole foods is best by far
Absolutely agree 😊 thanks ❤
Love your scarf.
Such a grear presentation. Very helpful and encouraging.
Thanks for your kind words 😊
I desperately need to do this!! Why oh why do I struggle with this??
This is very timely for me - thank you for this presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
What a lovely soul!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Excellent guest...I related to him on many points. Thank you Chef Aj.
I just recently started my weight loss journey again. I was at my goal weight and I gained most of it back. I work a very physically demanding job, walking 30k+ steps per day, working 10-12 hours or more per day 6 days per week. I'll be happy to get back to that goal weight so work isn't so hard. I was eating 90% vegan before. The great thing is that it wasn't hard to go right back to it except for the time and effort it takes to prepare meals. It was so much easier to eat processed crap but I felt terrible. I already feel better after only 5 days! I can give up anything except caffeine. Coffee keeps me going at work. I'm 54 and need the boost it gives me. I loved this and he is great, but I won't give up the caffeine.
Well done Jerry!
Every day that goes by your body will affirm your eating and healthy lifestyle is what it needs and wants in order to thrive.
You are soo right 😊
Chef AJ, can you also ask people’s height? It’s a significant factor in weight loss. Love these.
Thank you for this interview, Chef AJ and Jerry!💞🇨🇦
A very nice guest today, AJ. 👏

We all think feeling sick is normal
So true 😊

I love his energy and passion for this lifestyle! Great guest. Thank You Aj for all you do.
Thanks for your kind words 😊
I love all the fun guys you have
Thanks for the kind words 😊
Like living and loving the journey
We're the same age, born in 1966. I have similar journey.
Thanks for posting 😊
Such a lovely human, thank you for interviewing Jerry. He was very relatable, his story is my story. @Jerry how do you deal with moments of being attracted to the foods we chose not to eat- sounds like you haven’t struggled with a “snackcident”; do you have a process of resetting?
Asking as food is how I have learned to soothe- and knowing doesn’t seem to work for me- I need a tangible tool, do you mind sharing?
You can try connecting with Jerry through his UA-cam Channel, which is in the show notes.
I would love to know the name of the gallon water jug Jerry had shown. I like to know because here in Canada I find the Gallon jugs I’ve purchased seem to be not quality made. Any suggestions?
You might try reaching out to Jerry via his UA-cam channel....it's in the show notes
Thank you so much for your speedy reply. I’ve often wondered if there’s a Canadian Dr. that has reached out to you? Or that you have interviewed? those that live in British Columbia, Canada maybe?
I often feel for those that live in Canada that were all cut off from the truth when it comes to our health care. I’m very thankful for all your informative interviews (to name one Dr. Brooke Goldner… a big part that helped me when I was at deaths door) and so many others that you’ve interviewed whom have made a big difference in my life and many others that are beginning our own health journey. Thank you
