An Epidemic of Sick People: Problems & Solutions (Pt. 1)

Although they grew up in different countries -- Claude Abrams in the U.K. and Frank Forza in the U.S. -- both healthy-living coaches have striking similarities in their life arcs. Both are former professional journalists; both men have experience interviewing and writing about some of the world’s best fighters; they are roughly the same age and have increasingly focused much of their present-day energy and passion on wellness and optimal health. Claude owns and operates Intelligent Strength gym in his homeland, while Frank teaches jiu-jitsu and wrestling, human performance coaching, and nutritional fitness to clients. Claude and Frank share a strong fondness for plant-based nutrition, and their two-part conversation/podcast centers around habits of healthy living, ways to boost our Immune System and avoiding the “Magic Pill Mentality” that is contributing to growing global fears, chronic sickness and disease in the world. Most adults are well aware that more fruits, veggies and exercise would be good for them -- but how do we actually motivate and inspire people to experience a paradigm shift and FINALLY embrace healthier habits? If the current global crisis doesn’t spur more people to take greater responsibility for their health, to start committing to healthy changes, then what on earth will? How and why does someone become a vegan or vegetarian? Why are some people so obsessed with eating and living plant-based? And how can vegans and vegetarians avoid being too dogmatic about their food philosophy -- and less judgmental toward their carnivore-loving friends? Frank makes his case for “More apples, less needles,” and explores why so many people are sick and chronically ill in the U.S -- despite the country being far and away the most vaccinated in the world and greatest swallowers of prescription drugs in the world. Do we want, as an international community, to hand over even more of our health -- the decisions, what is best for us -- to bureaucrats and “public health experts” claiming to know what is best for us than we ourselves do? How much power over our health do we want to hand over to our government, big pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies and Big corporations? What’s going on with us and our health and where do we start to transform from an unhealthy nation overall into one filled with healthy livers? This is Part 1 of a two-part series that both Frank and Claude hope will inspire ever-more people to take control of their health, to finally realize how much power they have over their spiritual, mental and physical health, and to start the journey to transformation today, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
