My Path

Why I Stopped Following the “Normal Path” — and Started Building My Own Health

I went to college like everyone told me to.
I got the grades, learned the systems, and followed the formula that was supposed to lead to “success.” But somewhere along the way, I realized that while I was learning how to pass exams, I wasn’t learning how to thrive — physically, mentally, or emotionally.

That’s when I made a choice most people wouldn’t: instead of chasing credentials, I decided to chase vitality. I wanted to understand what it truly means to feel good, to wake up with energy, focus, and purpose — and to help others do the same.

5 Simple Habits That Compound Over Time

  1. Move every day — even if it’s just a 20-minute walk. Motion keeps your metabolism active and clears mental fog.

  2. Hydrate smarter — add sea salt or electrolytes to your water. Most people aren’t dehydrated; they’re mineral-deficient.

  3. Prioritize real food — the fewer ingredients, the better. Think grass-fed meats, fruits, eggs, and whole carbs.

  4. Sunlight before screens — your circadian rhythm depends on it. Ten minutes of morning sun can change your mood all day.

  5. Breathe with intention — take 3 slow, deep breaths before meals or stressful moments. It’s the quickest way to reset your nervous system.

None of these are flashy, but the truth is: health compounds like interest. Small, consistent actions now build a future of energy, confidence, and longevity.
