Ep. 4 - Why Are You Killing Yourself/The Current State of Our Health

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes JJ White, a Dale Carnegie franchise owner, to shut up and sit down with her to discuss the meaning behind Yedda’s favorite chapter of her book: Why Are You Killing Yourself? They also talk about the relationship between health, wellness, personal growth, and development.

JJ shares his experience with getting diabetes in his 40s, gaining weight during the covid-19 pandemic, and what finally pushed him to work with a health coach and take a more intentional, driven approach to health and nutrition. He describes his incredible physical and mental health transformation and how he beat diabetes, then he and Yedda share their candid thoughts on the 75 Hard program. 

“There’s this false belief that if you just go to the gym and you just run… you can eat what you want, you can do what you want… totally untrue.” - JJ White

Yedda believes we can all wake up out of our Twinkie and Cheetos trances to see the truth of who we really are. Listen in learn insights into how to change a belief system and interrupt patterns of behavior that don’t serve you, the role that inner needs plays in our unhealthy behaviors, and the two biggest lessons JJ has learned on his weight loss journey. 

“What inner need does your worst habit fulfill?” - Yedda Stancil
