From Nearly 400 Pounds to Carnivore: Jordan Goforth’s Weight Loss, Faith & Fatherhood Journey

Jordan Goforth was approaching 400 pounds and dealing with severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure, gout, diverticulitis, and a growing list of health problems.

Something had to change.

In this episode of the Fit Fathers Fellowship Podcast, I sit down with pastor, husband, father, and host of Goforth & Carnivore, Jordan Goforth, to talk about the wake-up call that finally pushed him to take control of his health.

Jordan shares how he began making changes, why years of trying different diets never created lasting results, and how he eventually transitioned to a carnivore diet—eliminating sugar, bread, pasta, rice, and other carbohydrates from his diet.

But this conversation is about more than weight loss.

We talk about faith, fatherhood, discipline, health, nutrition, and taking responsibility for the body and family God has entrusted to you.

We also discuss an important reality in fitness and nutrition: there isn't just one way to get healthier. Different approaches can work for different people when they're willing to consistently follow through.

In this episode, we cover:
