In this episode we discuss the current crisis of Men’s Health. As The Centre for Social Justice lays out, "We listen to those working on the frontline - the teachers, youth workers, charities, and parents who see, day in and day out, the struggles playing out in the lives of young people. And in recent years, they’ve been telling us the same thing: something is going on with our boys." This episode highlights challenges for men's health and impact on our entire society. As well as a few suggestions for how to improve men's health in our nation. Future episodes will focus even more on solutions that will help reverse the current crisis as well as prevent future ones from happening.

In this episode we discuss the purpose of this podcast - to provide you with a science-backed way of living your healthiest, happiest life. It's about understanding the interplay between physical, mental, social and spiritual health and how it impacts your overall health, human performance and ultimately your happiness. Your ability to think, make decisions, be in a healthy relationship, study, work, be happy, and do anything in life - is related to how well you steward your body and your mind. Our goal is to provide you with wisdom and applicable protocols that you can use to live your best life, in whatever it is you perform, every day. Whether you're a CEO or a college student.

One of our main mottos at Athletum, is Entheos, which means "inspired" or "possessed by a god." It's what the Greek's believed was the highest state of happiness one could achieve. We want you to know you can feel and live this inspired life now. And this is how you do it. You'll be amazed how good you can feel by following this lifestyle. This episode is an introduction into what this will look like and the why behind it. We hope you enjoy!
