0:11.4	It's that time a year again when people are more focused on family, friends, and giving gifts to the ones that we love.
0:17.2	And today, more than ever, there's no greater gift to give than the gift of good health.
0:22.6	There's a powerful quote that says, a healthy person has a thousand wishes, but a sick person only
0:28.8	has one. Our health is truly an invaluable asset that we often don't truly appreciate until we
0:35.5	don't have it. Let's make this time of year about cultivating
0:38.4	good health and supporting the well-being of the ones that we love. Today I'm going to share with you
0:43.2	my five favorite fitness gifts. And these are gifts that I've personally given to friends and

1:40.3	This matters today more than ever. Currently, depression is the number one cause of disability
1:47.0	and absenteeism in the workplace in the United States. And the annual global cost of mental health disorders have skyrocketed in recent years. The current health care and economic cost of this epidemic is nearly $3 trillion this year alone,
2:06.0	and it's projected to reach $6 trillion within the next five years.
2:11.4	Family, faith, connection, and essential health inputs are critical to solving this crisis. And physical activity is one of the
2:20.1	essential epigenetic inputs that has a measurable impact on our mental health. Of course, movement
