Give us like a quick 360 degree overview of what MedFit Education Foundation is and what gap you were trying to fill when you first started it.
2:44
I founded this not-for-profit in 2017.
2:47
And to your point, I found a lack of education in the fitness industry to work with those with chronic disease, medical conditions, disabilities.

And our industry has always focused on the generally healthy.
3:04
And we're still taught to work with generally healthy people.
3:09
But who really needs us the most is are those with all those challenges that I just mentioned.
3:15
And so I saw that there was a lack of education and I started the not-for-profit and we started with weekly webinars and they were free.
6:57
Tell us a little bit.
14:52
Oh, yeah.

So again, I had to weigh the, you know, the cost benefit, and I, I'm a anti-drug person.
14:59
Um, anyways, I'm not gonna just take any drugs because a doctor says so.
15:02
That's my beliefs.
15:04
Um, so I chose I'm not gonna do tamoxifen and I'm not gonna do radiation.
15:10
And so something else they do when you get diagnosed with cancer is they'll do a circulating cancer cell count.
15:17
So we all have cancer cells circulating in our body.
19:59
Mm-hmm.
