I'm so excited for you to hear this episode because it's exactly the kind of story we all love - one where someone meets a life-threatening challenge and comes out better on the other side. But there's much more to Jared Maynard story and it has to do with the importance of being in the right shape to fight for your life.

Jared is a Physical Therapist, business owner, powerlifter, strength coach, husband and father of 3 girls who found out how strength training saves lives this year.

After spending years in the gym training his mind and body, tragedy struck. He was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called HLH that almost killed him. It took 5 weeks on life support and many months of rehabilitation for him to learn how to walk, talk and breathe on his own again.

While on life support, he was so weak that he couldn't receive nutrition for weeks. The muscle he spent years building in the gym became the fuel that sustained him to better days.

Now, as Jared continues through recovery, his mission is stronger than ever:

To help as many people as possible become so strong that they barely recognize themselves. To help them feel empowered to take on whatever life throws at them. To help them keep showing up for their spouses, kids friends and clients.

Jared works full time in his online strength coaching business, Unbreakable Strength, to do exactly that. When he's not working, you can find him reading superhero books with his daughters, sipping on delicious coffee and enjoying life in the Canadian countryside.

Could we be moving towards a real life species of the walking dead where chemicals are creating a new, toxic-laden humankind? They are born out of technology. They are here, and they are everywhere.

The problems with forever chemicals have been known for quite some time, and their impact on people and the environment is still being researched and not completely understood. However, more evidence is coming to light on their impact on people as evidenced by the lawsuits that have been reported in the media concerning the military bases being affected and health issues that these chemicals are having on our veterans being exposed to them.
