I was a wreck in college. Eating junk food, smoking cigarettes, and drinking. I was so self-loathing and depressed. Nothing was working. A yoga class inspired me to use holistic health to heal. I started doing yoga every day, eating a whole-foods diet, going for walks, I quit alcohol and cigarettes. Within 3 months I was off all medications. After 1 year I had dropped 50 lbs. I started getting straight As and loving my life. Its been 12 years since then and I am still a happy, healthy person.

I had anxiety and panic disorder and meds didn't work for me. When I changed doctor and went down the nutrition and exorcise path I recovered. Gut health & nutrition works wonders.

Storytelling and connection of it at the end to himself, it takes a lot of work to give a speech like this, i usually dont leave any comments, but this guy killed the speech, not regarding content, that is not my field. Great Work

Nutrition, sleep and exercise are very important. Also, when you make decisions, always pick the choice that will improve yourself or move you in the right direction. Over time, you will one day discover that you are a person, that you are proud to be.

If you're wondering why this video has 10,000 views not 10,000,000. It's because it threatens the food industry. The multi billion dollar processed food industry.
