Fitness: How Your Environment Has an Impact on Your Health with Julio Almanza

We talk to Julio "JC" Almanza, a former gang member, drug addict, and prisoner who turned his life around and became a fitness coach, author, and speaker. JC shares his incredible story of how he overcame his anger, guilt, and demons, and found God, love, and peace in his heart. He also reveals how he uses his hard work, discipline, and consistency to achieve his goals and help others do the same. JC is the founder of Wrong to Strong, a movement that aims to inspire and empower people who are struggling with their past or present circumstances. He also volunteers at prisons, rehabs, homeless shelters, and schools, where he mentors and teaches others how to transform their lives. JC is a living example of what it means to be a man in today’s world, and he has a lot of wisdom and insight to share with us.
