REASONS FOR BEING INTERVIEW with Jessica Shultzberger

Topic: How the Biggest Loser Won Big

The next interview that I would like to share with you explores eating disorders: from eating too much to too little, to being the person who counsels others to eat better in order to conquer a serious illness like diabetes. This interview is with someone who could be a contestant on television’s THE BIGGEST LOSER.

Jessica Shultzberger: I am just an ordinary girl who began an extraordinary journey into my complete health, heart, body and mind a little over two years ago.

I was laid off from my employer about 2 years ago and it was the swift kick in the butt I needed to realize I was just going through the motions of life and not really living it.

Part of living life for me was and is to still learn how to lead a healthy life.

I decided to return to school full-time and complete my undergrad while unemployed.

I began to blog about my battle of bulge in a series called, “Fighting Fat.”

I also started with a great therapist, surrounded myself with a good support system and took an amazing journey of self-enlightenment under the direction of one of my professor’s, Julie Miller at Baldwin-Wallace College.

Julie pushed me to discover my strengths and I began to focus on building my life around my strengths instead of my weaknesses.

Along the same time, I discovered Coca Crossfit and I also began to build physical strength as well as mental strength.

I have returned to work in the health insurance industry and have been with my new company approximately 6 weeks.

One of the most important benefits to me when accepting this job was to understand how important my employer felt work life balance and employee wellness would be.

And I am happy to report one of the main reasons I took this job is because of their focus on wellness and health.

For me health and wellness need to be at the forefront of every experience in my life and connect in all areas, my heart, body and soul.

I am not only aiming for heart health, I am aiming for total health!
