Episode notes
Track Protein To Protect Shoulders
- Track nutrition and consume sufficient protein to support shoulders used as legs in a wheelchair, not just 'eating clean'.
- Jesi started tracking protein, raising intake from 30–60g to about 165g, and regained shoulder health and independence.
Nutrition Reveals Roots Of Chronic Problems
- Jesi argues many chronic issues stem from nutrition and overreliance on pharmaceuticals, so natural management and whole-food diets can reduce meds.
- She switched to natural remedies, electrical stimulation, standing frames and diet instead of multiple prescriptions.
Use Structured Challenges To Rewire Mindset
- Do structured mental upgrades like 75 Hard and daily personal development to stop identifying with struggle and build confidence.
- Jesi credits 75 Hard and speakers like Eric Thomas, Inky Johnson, and Lisa Nichols for rewiring her mindset.
