They said the brain controlled the body therefore the mind powered the muscles. In some cases, the body actually nourished the mind and in turn kept a person healthy. One should not neglect the body nor the mind but must in fact learn how to keep both actively fit.

the interview:

AMM - From where you are standing now, is it still difficult to look back at the time when you were dealing with your mental health issue and digestive disorder?

JD - Looking back on where I’ve come from is almost kinda like a dream at this point. Since I practice daily cognitive mind skills to get better, so I will never get back to that negative point which would lead to hospitalization. I still struggle with digestive problems they will never go away but exercising and eating the right way helps tremendously.

AMM - How did you start working out and be a healthier you?

JD - I have always been into sports and extreme sports but I never really trained for building muscle until I was hospitalized and reality kicked in that I needed to do it otherwise my body would continue to shut down.
