Today the Eating Wild team meets with Corporal Jason Lamont, who at just 18 years old chose to serve his country and soon found himself on the front lines of Afghanistan. What followed was years of sacrifice, loss, and a battle with PTSD that didn’t end when he returned home. In this heartfelt conversation, Jason opens up about his path from combat to healing: the struggles, the turning point, and the conscious choice to reclaim joy in life.
Joined by UFC contender Cody Chovancek, this episode bridges stories of resilience from two very different arenas reminding us of the power of dedication and never giving up.
It’s a powerful reminder, especially in this season of family, gratitude, and tradition, that healing is possible and community makes us stronger.
