Your Ultimate Comeback
Join Brad and Raquel on this weekly podcast as they explore all aspects of health. After going through some extreme hardships and dealing with the aging process, Brad and Raquel came to realize that today's platforms of "Health," "Wellness," and "Fitness" are simply too superficial. They miss so much of what is needed to truly be resilient, fit, healthy, age-defying and constantly growing in life. It's time to break the curse of "MORE and HARDER," is the path. No stone will be left unturned, and warning some of these topics may rub you the wrong way. Please join us with an open mind, and understand when darkness is upon us we are at a crossroads.... Give up or Fight. This podcast will support you in the fight! It's time for Your Ultimate Comeback!
