#141: Mark Young - Strength Training Might Save Your Life

Mark Young (@markyoungfit) is a personal trainer and fitness coach for Sequence, a large online weight loss program. 

In 2022, Mark went into the hospital for a routine medical procedure. For unknown reasons, he woke up 5 weeks later. A cascade of events led to many ups and downs over the next weeks and months. More than a year later, Mark overcame the odds and made it through and is still smiling, and still serving the world. 

Mark tells the story of what happened to him and everything that he’s been through.

The major takeaway is that what happened to Mark was a freak bit of bad luck and completely unpredictable, and things like this DO happen in various forms. Yet he’s still here and doing well, much better than doctors anticipated. Why? Well, we’ll never know all the details. But we do know that all of the strength training and all of the general health practices that Mark’s implemented for years and years prior to this certainly had a massively positive impact on the outcome - and effectively saved his life. 

It’s cool to lift weights and get big and have a 6 pack and all that. But it could also save your life, which is way more important.
