He realized there had to be a better option out there after he struggled to recover using only traditional Western medicine treatments that failed to address the healing potential of his diet and lifestyle choices. It’s then that he began to pursue a healthier lifestyle and deeper understanding of how hydration, nutrition, and exercise can truly impact the human body.Darin changed his major, studying Exercise Physiology and Nutrition.
