Gilbert Rios & Taylor Lopes

On this episode, Gilbert & Taylor speak with Deputy Sheriff Jose about his 80 pound weight loss journey and how it saved his life. Taylor actually heard first hand the negative effects Jose's excessive weight was causing him such as Throwing up in his sleep, sleep apnea and gasping for air in the middle of the night. 

Jose goes into detail about how he gained 100 pounds after the academy. His first reality check was when he could no longer fit in his uniform, duty belt and even his patrol car! He also goes into the metal health effects it cause on his life and marriage at the time but also how he turned it around to be in the good shape he is today as well as a better husband and law enforcement officer.
