Jelly Roll’s Health Stuggles Before Losing Weight
October 14, 2025 5:45 amJelly Roll’s health coach, Gary Brecka, opened up about how serious Jelly’s health struggles were before he began his weight loss journey.
Gary said that Jelly used to sleep propped up on his side, wedged in with pillows, because if he rolled onto his back, he would suffocate.
Jelly also admitted he never turned down the radio in his car, because at stoplights he could hear himself wheezing.
It was so bad that every morning, Jelly would wake up and thank God he had survived the night.
Jelly first reached out to Gary with a blunt message: “Do you work with fat people?” That simple DM to Gary reshaped Jelly’s life. Although having trainers and a personal chef helps too.
Jelly has been candid about how childhood trauma and mental health caused his unhealthy relationship with food, but Gary said it was clear from their first meeting that Jelly was ready to change his life for the better.
