Over 130Lbs Lost: a Journey to Health and a Better Life

Background

Jonathan Slaven, CPT, was diagnosed with Stargardt's Disease, a juvenile degenerative eye disease at only 15 years of age. His vision worsened during a visit to Russia when he was 27 years old, making it difficult for him to read, write or navigate Moscow. After switching to his other passion, lifting, he embarked on a transformation journey that has changed his life and inspired many.

The weight loss journey

Jonathan's weight loss journey has been incredible. In just 16 months of dedication, he lost over 130lbs, dropping from 350lb down to 215lb. He achieved this through a combination of weight lifting, cardio, a healthy diet, sleep, and staying hydrated. He documented his progress through lifting footage and transformation progression, which has been an inspiration to many others struggling with weight loss.

Going blind and becoming a sponsored athlete

The severe vision loss that Jonathan had been dealing with propelled him to become a sponsored athlete for ASEA, to provide for himself and his wife. He had been a linguist by education with a BA in Russian language, but his worsening vision made it difficult to read or write. He turned his life around by switching to weightlifting and transforming his body. Jonathan's transformation and dedication have also inspired others to take control of their lives.

Advice for others

Jonathan advises others to start slowly with small changes and build from there. It is essential to stay hydrated, get enough sleep, eat healthily, and work out regularly. He also recommends trying out RENU 28, an anti-aging cream that he used to tighten his loose skin after losing 100 lbs. Jonathan's story is a testament to the power of dedication and hard work towards transforming your life.
