Episode 16: Jorge Cruise

Today is the inaugural episode of The Brooke Burke Show and we couldn't be more excited! Brooke's first guest on this new adventure is the incredible fitness and lifestyle guru the amazing Jorge Cruise. Jorge has worked with a long list of celebrity clients including Oprah Winfrey, Steve Harvey, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Liu, Eva Longoria and Kyle Richards and has helped millions more with his books and TV appearances.

Jorge is here to talk about the most recent of his incredible 32 books, "The Three Choices." But even more importantly, Jorge is here to talk about the incredible life-transforming realization which inspired the book -- that he had to honor his true self at the age of 39 and accept the fact that he's gay.

Since getting his big break with Oprah Winfrey, Jorge has been helping millions of people improve their lives and their relationships with themselves through his work as a personal trainer and health and fitness expert. Now it was time for him to find the courage to take care of himself. Jorge's journey was complicated by the fact that he was married and the father of two young sons, but listeners will be happy to know that he moved through the difficulty, panic and confusion and has come out the other side with a fulfilling new life that includes a beautiful relationship with his husband Sam, who makes a brief appearance on the show.

Of course, Brooke and Jorge get into a lot of valuable fitness and wellness, but this episode is an intimate look into the very private heart of a very public figure. Enjoy!
