Jonathan McLernon(III)
Born in the early 1980s in Vancouver, Jonathan had a rather dramatic start to life when he was born at 26 weeks. Not expected to survive he spent the next 2 months on life support in the NICU until he was strong enough to come home.
Splitting his childhood between Vancouver and the small resort town of Chase BC, Jonathan headed to Victoria after graduating high school, to pursue a degree in chemistry and marketing psychology. After completing his studies at UVic, he joined the Navy as a marine engineer, where he spent 6 years.
Departing the Navy, Jonathan spent the next 3 years travelling the world with his Australian wife living in 7 countries and visiting 45. During this time, Jonathan endured a serious trauma while living in South Africa, which ultimately set him on the path to where he is today.
Overcoming food addiction and binge eating, as well as losing over 100lbs, Jonathan became a Master Health Coach, and launched Freedom Nutrition Coaching in 2018. In 2021, Jonathan launched his live video podcast "Between The Before & After" (BTBA) where he interviews remarkable people who have overcome significant adversity in their life. BTBA is now recognized as one of the top 10% of all podcasts globally.
