John experienced the decline of his own health, as a busy father of three and businessman in his mid-30's. He developed typical joint pains, including: “bankers-belly and man- boobs”. He knew he needed to find a way to get fit and stay fit, yet do so with limited time and effort and without major dietary restrictions or extreme exercise.
Thus began John’s adventure in life and his own personal physical transformation. As John researched and studied health and wellness, he discovered that confusing misinformation and hidden truths were common place. John also learned that most people were just like him; they wanted a simple, “all-natural” process to regain healthy weight levels that could also sustain for a lifetime without experiencing an endless road of confusing and useless “yo-yo” dieting or fitness plans. John committed himself to developing a simple, step-by–step system that would help anyone achieve lifelong results, but that it had to be simple, science-based and sustainable for everyone. John invented innovative and common-sense formulas, which after 14 years of research and development, have resulted in the ground-breaking “John Jubilee 88-Day Transformation”. There is no other program available today, whereby, a person can achieve significant weight-loss and health muscle and water gain in just 88-days with no running, crunches, doctors, surgery, medicines, extreme exercise, delivered food program or proprietary supplements.
The proven success of John’s science-based technology has catapulted him to becoming America’s leading authority on enjoyable, all-natural, pain-free transformation. The John Jubilee 88-Day Transformation™ Experience is quite possibly the most advanced “all-in-one”; optimal wellness, weight-loss and fitness solution in the world. It is used by people from all walks of life, including: entertainment celebrities, actors, professional athletes, medical doctors, surgeons, business people, ministers, white and blue collar workers; men and women of all ages. His leading edge formulas consistently result in sustained long-term weight- loss, fat elimination, excellent fitness, optimal wellness, increased self- confidence and raised self-esteem for anyone who applies them, no matter their size, shape or age.
