The Jodi Watkins Show
Breaking Barriers with Epilepsy - Jacob Pomroy
Today, my guest is someone I met through supporting bodybuilding shows. I had a client competing at the Showtime Classic in Ponte Vedra, Florida, where I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Jacob Pomroy.
As he shared some of his stories with me, I knew I wanted to get him on the show to share with others.
Jacob is a Full Time Online Coach who champions Grand Mal Seizures, now known as Tonic-Clonic Seizures. According to https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/epilepsy/tonic-clonic-grand-mal-seizures, here are some things to know about these types of seizures: they involve a tonic (stiffening) phase and a clonic (twitching or jerking) phase. Jacob points out that if you are with someone with one of these types of seizures, you do NOT want to place anything in their mouth. You want to turn them to the side, clear space, and time the seizure. You must let it play out.
Jacob served in the US Army National Guard as a Mechanized Infantryman from 2014 to 2017, when he was medically discharged. He has competed in bodybuilding since 2016 and recently competed in 2022. he graduated from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise & Sports Science. He is also certified as an Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
I want to acknowledge Jacob for his vulnerability and for educating those who don't deal with this type of life. For those who do, I commend you, and I hope Jacob's story inspires you to know you are worthy of all things and unique to those around you.
