After being diagnosed as pre-diabetic, Jay Whatcott knew he needed to make changes, but he didn’t know where or how to start. He joined the100-day Heart Challenge at a Utah hospital, where he learned to exercise and eat healthy.
With the support of health professionals like Traci Heiner, Jay transformed his habits and his life. But the biggest change came on day 101, when he tried some unhealthy food and realized it didn’t taste as good as he had once thought.
