Jody's optimism and zest for life is refreshingly inspirational, he has achieved so much in his life already, from presenting his own breakfast TV show to becoming a proud father.
 

From a very early age Jodys first love in life was food, after leaving school he went on to qualify as a chef and afters years of gorging himself in his favorite foods he decided upon a career change into fitness after swelling up to a massive 31-stone in weight.

Jodys passion, even at school has always been performing and in the summer of 2001 he was propelled onto TV screens as the larger-than-life fitness expert presenting on Channel 4's morning show, The Big Breakfast. The stars energy glittered through the airwaves and led to international coverage for his fitness work with the overweight and celebrities.

Jody showcases his work via the internet and attracts over half a million video views per year. These include Jody's Tummy Tuck operation diary and the video hitting the current top spot with thousands of hits per week, Jodys Colonic Irrigation which took place live on British TV in 2004.

In 2006 Jody worked in Egypt for two years and witnessed first hand traditional African villages with no obesity, cancer or cardiac epademics due to naturally organic home grown produce.
