Jake Hoot Reaches A Milestone In His Health Journey
Country music singer and champion of season 17 of The Voice, Jake Hoot, shares the lifestyle changes that have him feeling “different” but undeniably better.
The 36-year-old admitted reaching a “rough spot” towards the end of last year. He wrote:
“I didn’t like the way I felt or looked. I’d tried so many different diets and trends—some worked for a while, but the weight would always creep back once I slipped off track. I felt constantly drained, and even sleep didn’t seem to help.”
Finally, Hoot decided, “Enough was enough,” and shifted his focus to a lifestyle change.
“I started working out, eating cleaner, and cutting out the stuff I knew made me feel awful.”
He partnered with Tennessee-based trainer Andrew G. and began gradually increasing his workouts. He reports feeling, “More energy. More mental clarity. More capacity to do daily things.”

Jake Hoot has three daughters – one with his ex-wife, Jessica Lynn Steele, and two with his current wife, Brittney Nicole Hoot. His eldest was born in 2015. He shared:
“Just a few weeks ago, I realized I’m lighter now than I’ve been since my oldest daughter was born. That hit me hard—in the best way.”
As a result of these positive changes and consistent efforts, Hoot has lost an impressive 60lbs!

Words Of Encouragement To Those Wanting To Take Control Of Their Physical Health
Rather than place the focus on himself, Jake Hoot hopes to inspire others with his story. The Texas native admits being hesitant to share the weight loss update as he still feels “far from perfect,” but chose to pass along some encouragement. He writes:
“All it takes is one step. One healthy choice. One ‘no’ to something that doesn’t serve you. And then another step. And another. Eventually, you start to realize how strong your mind really is—and how the things you thought you couldn’t live without? They start to fade into the background.”
