The Power of Nutrition and Faith in Overcoming Challenges. JD Tremblay.

Ep 109: On this episode we are grateful to have JD Tremblay.  We'll talk about what it really means to be "hungry for more in life," how mental fitness and faith can sustain you when everything feels stacked against you, and how that same mindset can help tackle food injustice and build healthier, more hopeful neighborhoods—right here in places like East Cleveland and similar communities around the world. JD Tremblay is an ultra‑endurance triathlete and one of only three people in the world to complete the EpicDeca, a nearly unimaginable feat involving ten iron-distance triathlons in ten days across all six Hawaiian Islands. He's taken the mindset that carried him through extreme races and turned it into a mission of mentoring men, supporting under‑resourced youth, and using sport as a doorway to hope, character, and opportunity. #EatBetterFoodToday #nutrition #mentalfitness #communityhealth #fasting #resilience #faith #lifestylechange Please visit our website https://eatbetterfoodtoday.com for YouTube videos, this week's recipe, interviews, books, research.
