"Metabolism is everything," Jackson says. "I got my metabolism in great shape, and it solved everything. My weight, my digestion, energy levels - everything improved once I fixed my metabolism."
At one point, Jackson was in such poor health, it became a matter of life or death. At over 350 pounds, he developed flu-like symptoms and was rushed to the hospital. The doctor told him he had developed type 2 diabetes, and that his blood sugar levels were out of control.
"I knew I had to make a change if I wanted to go on living," Jackson told us.
But after countless diets, exercise programs, and even gastric bypass surgery, Jackson still struggled with finding a lasting solution. That's when he met Dr. Melina Jampolis, who specializes in metabolism.
"Metabolism is our body's process of taking food and turning it into energy," Dr. Jampolis explains. "It sounds simple, and it is. But most people just don't think about their metabolism."
In fact, fewer than 1 in 5 American adults are considered metabolically healthy. This is a problem, Dr. Jampolis says, that contributes not only to dangerous conditions like the type 2 diabetes Randy Jackson was diagnosed with, but ordinary weight gain, sluggishness, digestive problems, and much more.
"There's very little about your health that can't be made better by simply improving your metabolism," she says.
That was certainly true for Jackson. Working with "Dr. Melina," as he calls her - who has written several books and served for years as CNN's health expert - Jackson was able to lose over 150 pounds. Today, at 63 years old, he's in the best shape of his life - and he attributes his success to one thing: fixing his "broken" metabolism.
"Once I figured this out, it was just like flipping a switch," he says. "The light went on and the weight stayed off. And I feel like I'm 35 again!"
In fact, Jackson was so thrilled with his results working with Dr. Melina, the two of them teamed up to create a video presentation documenting his success - which now serves as a blueprint for anybody looking to lose weight, or simply improve their overall health.

"The amazing thing is how easy it is," Jackson says. "If I can do it, literally anybody can do it."
The response from Randy's fans has been overwhelming. Even those people who aren't familiar with Jackson from American Idol are relating to his message.
"I never watched the show, but I related to his struggle. I've been using his method and after two weeks I am already noticing big changes in my health!" commented one viewer of the video, which quickly went viral after being released.
