Dr. Jerome M. West is a behavioral health leader, educator, speaker, and weight management coach who rebuilt his life through structure, discipline, and consistency. He grew up in a single parent home shaped by trauma and emotional hardship and spent years battling morbid obesity, eventually reaching nearly five hundred pounds. In 2023, he completed gastric sleeve surgery, which became a tool in his health journey, but it was his renewed mindset and disciplined daily habits that created lasting change. Over two years, he lost more than two hundred seventy pounds and reclaimed his health and purpose.

With more than twenty years of experience in behavioral health, counseling, prevention, and emotional wellness education, Dr. West has served in leadership roles across nonprofit, clinical, community, and academic settings. His work focuses on strengthening thought patterns, building emotional resilience, and helping individuals and organizations overcome the internal and external barriers that hinder growth and well being.

As a speaker and transformation strategist, he delivers engaging and research informed messages on mens mental health, emotional intelligence, leadership, and sustainable life change. As a weight management coach, he equips clients to reshape their relationship with food, understand their thought patterns, build healthy routines, and create the structure needed to experience long term success.

Whether he is speaking to large audiences, coaching individuals, or training teams, Dr. West’s message remains consistent. Transformation becomes possible when the mind is renewed, the habits are aligned with purpose, and a person chooses to commit to the process with clarity and intention.
