I had always been in the gym in and out for most of my life. I used to be severely overweight(500 lbs). I lost down pretty low. My wife and I both struggled with it for most of our adult lives. Then we both had gastric bypass about 10 years ago. If you didn't know. Gastric bypass is horrible for people becoming addicts with alcohol. During the start of COVID. My wife started to drink heavily. And over about 2nyears got to the point to where she would do nothing but sit at home and drink. Then 5 years ago one weekend. She tied one on so hard on a binge that her body gave up. I woke up to her passed away on the couch. Her pancreas had failed her.

This started me down a dark dark path. I started drinking heavily at this time. Stopped going to the gym, stopped eating, and only consuming alcohol myself. Then almost a year to the date I woke up in the hospital on a respirator. I had almost gone the same way as my wife. Undecided at this point I would change my self. For me and for our 2 kids. I dug in. Went to to the gym 6 days a week. Got my health back to a good place and have been improving ever since. I actually did my first bodybuilding comp 2 weeks ago.

So I would say that I have definitely put my demons behind me. And not living in the past.

Mental health is such a huge thing and I would say I love that your brand focuses on this.
