I am a 22 year old university student, and like many, fitness has been an important part of my life for the past few years.

Social media has brought health and fitness to a level of attention never before seen. It has helped thousands to feel empowered and become better versions of themselves. But yet, we are currently as unhealthy as we have ever been.

In the United States, over two thirds of the population is either overweight, pre-diabetic, or diabetic. That’s over 200 million people. Alarmingly, young adults in universities like mine are also unhealthy, with substance dependence of nicotine, marijuana, and alcohol reaching alarming levels.

I have had a long journey in pursuing better health, and want to pass on the knowledge I have found along the way to try and help like-minded, uncommon individuals who want to challenge themselves and live healthy in an unhealthy world.
