Summary
Nathaniel Jordan watched his father, a minister, die of complications stemming from an unhealthy diet. Ditto for three uncles who all died in their mid-60's or younger. His grandparents also died of preventable chronic diseases.
Nathaniel almost suffered the same fate. He was 100 pounds overweight and suffering from prediabetes and heart complications, before he had an epiphany following his father's passing. The former police officer wanted to follow in his father's footsteps albeit while taking a much healthier path.
Thus, the Minister of Wellness was born. He lost the 100 pounds and was reborn into a healthier body after adopting a plant-based diet.
He's now blending his faith with healthy food and helping thousands ditch what he calls the "Satanic American Diet" that had been robbing them of their health and taking years off their life.
Nathaniel joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his incredible journey back to health and why his faith stronger than ever.
