My mission is to empower others to live a more adventurous, healthy, joyful, and fulfilling life. I am fascinated with the human body and how we can optimize to function at the highest level possible. Special interests in functional medicine, longevity, nutrition science, and holistic view to health. I strive to deeper understand the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I grew up playing sports all day, every day. I played football, basketball, and ran track in high school, playing a bit of basketball at the collegiate level. Ran a marathon. I have always been a hard worker, and I will continue to pursue challenges, play sports, get outside, mtn bike, ski, etc. I love to travel and experience the world. #running#hybridathlete#marathon#marathontraining#tipsandtricks#runningtips#parisolympics2024#claytonyoung
