The TB12 Method

Jeff is a 33 year old IT professional who works from home. He divorced from his wife of 10 years just over one year ago. The end of his marriage made Jeff feel like a failure. They had a lot of mutual friends and he felt too uncomfortable around them without his wife, so he stopped going out with his friends and playing his weekly game of golf, which was his favorite part of every week. When he was married, Jeff's wife did all of the cooking; since the divorce, his diet has consisted of only take-out and fast food. He's gained 40 pounds in the last 6 months and is at the heaviest weight he has ever been in his life. Jeff recently confided in his brother that he thinks he might be suffering from depression. He knows he needs make some changes to get his life back on track. He is a big Tom Brady fan and recently saw the TB12 method. He thinks might be what he needs to get back on track.
