EP 99- Lori Jewett, Entrepreneur, Author: Life in 80HD

The number one most under-discussed topic in society right now is mental health. It's a silent epidemic and one that has created a vacuum of greed in the pharmaceutical industry and medical fields.  Every day, people are misdiagnosed and treated with prescription drugs whose side effects hurt more than help, sometimes including a derailed life or even death. 

Lori Jewett is an entrepreneur and Author of the Book, 80HD.  She's a wife, mother, and someone whose main mission in life is to help people heal their traumas in life, and find their true path to impact. 

In this episode, Lori comes in amped up for Jesus and shares how she just finished the popular human reset program, 75Hard, which requires you to work out twice a day, drink a gallon of water, stick to a clean diet, no sugar, and read 10 pages in a self-development book.  

Lori shares her journey from childhood when she was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and was prescribed medication with the side effect that led to an unsuccessful suicide attempt at 19.  This begins the journey of this episode and sets the tone for one of the most important discussions people should be having more often.
