146kg To 75kg: The Radical Health Rules He Uses To Raise His Family
September 10, 2026
Jordan, founder of The Lion Class, joins Tim Gray to share how he went from 146kg and chronically ill to 75kg and thriving, why he moved his family of seven to the middle of nowhere to escape EMF and tap water, and how he built a business specifically so his children could grow up outside the modern system entirely.
Jordan joins Tim Gray for a wide ranging conversation on what happens when someone takes every conspiracy theory they grew up believing and actually tests it against their own life. They cover Jordan's transformation from 146kg and depressed to 75kg through intermittent fasting, barefoot walking, and filtered water, the decision to move his family an hour and a half from the nearest person they know, and why he believes tap water, seed oils, EMF, and the vaccine schedule are the hidden drivers of chronic illness in children today.
In this episode, we explore:
➡︎ 146kg to 75kg: the three habits that changed everything after a hospital stay from a spider bite, and why diet beats gym training every time.
➡︎ Why he moved his family off grid, ninety minutes from anyone they know, and his fish tank theory of raising kids.
➡︎ How cutting gluten and soya from his wife's breastfeeding diet resolved his son's autoimmune flare ups without steroids.
➡︎ What is really in your tap water, and why it is the buildup of small exposures, not one contaminant, that worries him most.
➡︎ Why he moved away from phone masts and Wi Fi entirely, and where he stands on the EMF debate.
➡︎ Why he has never vaccinated his children, and his view on what actually drove disease rates down historically.
➡︎ Why his kids have never seen a screen switched on, and how screens replace parental attention.
➡︎ How cutting seed oils changed his and Tim's ability to tolerate the sun.
➡︎ Why he lives by example instead of trying to convince anyone, treating his choices as personal experiments, not a campaign.

Chronic stress keeps your nervous system stuck in alarm mode. Your vagus nerve is meant to send the all clear, but under sustained stress that signal weakens, and cortisol lingers, taking your sleep, recovery, and focus with it.
Pulsetto stimulates the vagus nerve directly. A small band around your neck, gentle electrical pulses, four minutes in the app, and your nervous system stands down.
