Welcome to the HuntHealth YouTube channel.
My name is John Hunter, I'm the founder
and CEO of I Hunt Health.
This is going to be the video that you see
on the front of my YouTube channel.
I basically created
this YouTube channel
to document
my own fat loss journey
and all of the health and wellness
tips and tricks and experiences
that I picked up along the way.
And I would like to share all that stuff
with you guys.
What I want to do is I just want to tell you
a little bit more about myself.
So you know who you're watching,
you know who you're supporting.
And hopefully
by the end of this video,
I can get you to subscribe to our YouTube channel
and follow us for more content
because I have a lot that I want to get off.
I've been doing this for several years,
so I'm just going to start from the beginning,
and I'm going to tell you
a little bit more about myself
and what made me start my journey
and what I've accomplished.
I've probably made a video like this
maybe five to ten times,
and I've just always like
scripted it out and said, I got it.
I'm going.
I'm going to write down
in order what I did to get here
and to achieve these goals and this and that.
But I just want to kind of just go on the fly with it,
and I want to talk about how
my fat loss journey started in,
like October
of 2016, is December 2016 ish.
It's currently January
ninth, 2022.
I've been doing this since
about October, December 2016.
I did not create a lot of videos in the beginning.
There was not a lot of documentation
that I did in the beginning.
A lot of it was just
me picking up information from friends.
I had a coworker, I was working at a gym.
That's kind of what started all this.
So let's let's just
jump back in 2016.
So in 2016,
I just freshly dropped out of college for the third time
in two years.
And yeah, I started
working at this gyms called experience fitness,
and I got a job as like a sales rep.
And basically
my entire journey started from me,
just like hating
the fact that I was a sales rep and I was trying to sell
and pitch all these things to people
when I was really good at it .
But I hated that I was trying to pitch
like 400 dollar memberships
to people that I just
knew were like me,
you know, they were
extremely overweight, they were extremely unhappy
and they were they were so desperate.
They were willing to spend three $400
on yearly plans
for the gym that they knew
that they were not going to show up for. And
I don't want to put
anybody down, but sometimes you have to be
honest with yourself
and you have to be authentic
with with things like this.
00;02;27;51 - 00;02;28;32 It's important
00;02;28;32 - 00;02;31;07 because a lot of times
we lie to ourselves,
00;02;31;07 - 00;02;32;55 especially in the world, is
00;02;32;55 - 00;02;34;43 just a very sensitive
place right now.
00;02;34;43 - 00;02;35;44 So I'm
saying all this to say,
00;02;35;44 - 00;02;36;09 though
00;02;37;00 - 00;02;39;18 my journey started in 2016,
00;02;39;18 - 00;02;40;21 I got sick and tired
00;02;40;21 - 00;02;41;44 of the fact
00;02;41;44 - 00;02;43;05 that I was selling
these memberships.
00;02;43;05 - 00;02;44;25 It really bothered
me and then I
00;02;44;25 - 00;02;45;52 and then I got sick
00;02;45;52 - 00;02;47;40 and tired of
just being uncomfortable.
00;02;47;40 - 00;02;48;35 I remember
I was in the house.
00;02;48;35 - 00;02;50;47 I was in and out of
the hospital multiple times.
00;02;50;47 - 00;02;53;23 I was having like
insane migraines
00;02;53;23 - 00;02;54;39 like they were.
00;02;54;39 - 00;02;56;55 They were so bad that it like
00;02;57;17 - 00;02;58;14 it was debilitating.
00;02;58;14 - 00;03;00;57 I was crying from them like
I was throwing up from them.
00;03;00;57 - 00;03;03;03 It was the worst
experience of my life.
00;03;03;03 - 00;03;03;58 I never had high
00;03;03;58 - 00;03;05;43 blood pressure
or any sugar problems
00;03;05;43 - 00;03;07;00 and stuff like that,
but I was
00;03;07;00 - 00;03;08;19 £370.
00;03;08;19 - 00;03;10;02 It was it was tough for me.
00;03;10;02 - 00;03;11;49 And being in that gym
00;03;11;49 - 00;03;13;37 environment
really helped kick off
00;03;13;37 - 00;03;15;47 my fat loss transformation.
00;03;16;35 - 00;03;18;11 And I didn't really
do it on purpose.
00;03;18;11 - 00;03;20;42 But deep down inside,
I felt like being in
00;03;20;42 - 00;03;23;47 that environment
would be motivating.
00;03;24;01 - 00;03;25;56 It would be encouraging.
00;03;25;56 - 00;03;27;59 And it was not too long
00;03;27;59 - 00;03;29;32 after I started
00;03;29;41 - 00;03;31;34 my my manager started
00;03;31;34 - 00;03;33;26 put me on like little plans.
00;03;33;26 - 00;03;34;11 You know, it wasn't anything.
00;03;34;11 - 00;03;35;26 He was charging me
for his desire.
00;03;35;26 - 00;03;37;32 Let me give you a workout
to go through.
00;03;37;50 - 00;03;40;00 And I started off
real subtle.
00;03;40;00 - 00;03;41;51 I started doing like,
you know, lifting
00;03;41;51 - 00;03;43;03 weights 2030 minutes,
00;03;43;03 - 00;03;44;24 and then I hop on,
00;03;44;24 - 00;03;45;49 you know, an elliptical
00;03;45;49 - 00;03;46;57 or the treadmill.
00;03;46;57 - 00;03;48;12 The elliptical
was my best friend
00;03;48;12 - 00;03;50;26 when I first started
because I had really bad
00;03;50;26 - 00;03;52;05 hip pain and knee pain I had.
00;03;52;05 - 00;03;53;16 I had a lot of joint pain
00;03;53;16 - 00;03;54;59 just because
I was so overweight,
00;03;54;59 - 00;03;56;30 and so I did the elliptical,
00;03;56;30 - 00;03;57;46 and that was great.
00;03;59;09 - 00;04;00;25 Flash forward
00;04;00;25 - 00;04;02;02 seven months from then,
00;04;02;02 - 00;04;04;44 I ended up dropping £120
00;04;04;44 - 00;04;06;32 in seven months
00;04;06;33 - 00;04;07;18 and I decided,
00;04;07;18 - 00;04;08;37 Hey, you know what?
00;04;08;37 - 00;04;09;51 The gym treated me well.
00;04;09;51 - 00;04;11;25 I made a lot of money
while I was here.
00;04;11;25 - 00;04;12;31 I was young
00;04;12;31 - 00;04;14;08 and I said, You know what?
00;04;14;08 - 00;04;17;06 It is time for me
to go back to school,
00;04;17;22 - 00;04;18;29 and I went back to school,
00;04;18;29 - 00;04;19;44 did great,
00;04;20;20 - 00;04;21;50 was in school
for about a year, year
00;04;21;50 - 00;04;24;27 and a half, and then I just
fell out of love with it.
00;04;24;27 - 00;04;26;22 And I started to fall
back in love with fitness,
00;04;26;22 - 00;04;27;45 and I started to realize that
00;04;27;45 - 00;04;29;13 I didn't need school
00;04;29;13 - 00;04;31;24 to pursue
what I wanted to pursue.
00;04;31;24 - 00;04;33;28 I love fitness,
I love health and wellness.
00;04;33;28 - 00;04;34;49 It is something that
00;04;34;49 - 00;04;37;29 once I became an adult
00;04;37;29 - 00;04;39;22 and I started to realize that
00;04;39;22 - 00;04;41;23 all of my
childhood trauma and all the things
00;04;41;23 - 00;04;43;05 I went through in
my life that,
00;04;43;05 - 00;04;43;56 you know,
00;04;44;03 - 00;04;44;46 traumatized me
00;04;44;46 - 00;04;46;02 and bothered me to this day.
00;04;46;02 - 00;04;48;29 Once I learned how to
00;04;49;05 - 00;04;50;38 educate myself
00;04;50;38 - 00;04;53;01 and inform myself
on important things
00;04;53;01 - 00;04;54;47 that I was
never taught as a kid,
00;04;54;47 - 00;04;55;50 it opened up my world
00;04;55;50 - 00;04;57;01 because I realized, like, I'm
00;04;57;01 - 00;04;58;21 in control of my own destiny.
00;04;58;21 - 00;04;59;57 I'm in control
of everything that I want to.
00;04;59;57 - 00;05;01;45 Accomplish
everything that I want to do
00;05;01;45 - 00;05;03;15 in my lifetime.
00;05;03;15 - 00;05;05;10 Nobody else
can take that away from me.
00;05;05;10 - 00;05;07;50 Anything I want to learn,
I can go learn immediately
00;05;07;52 - 00;05;08;44 right now.
00;05;08;44 - 00;05;11;01 And I realized
it was up to me
00;05;11;01 - 00;05;12;20 and how far I was behind
00;05;12;20 - 00;05;14;31 and how much
catching up I had to do.
00;05;14;31 - 00;05;16;57 And that's kind of where
the whole concept of hotels
00;05;16;57 - 00;05;17;24 came from.
00;05;17;24 - 00;05;18;52 Hunt Health is a mentality
00;05;18;52 - 00;05;20;05 and I want to pursue.
00;05;20;05 - 00;05;21;34 I want to hunt health
00;05;21;34 - 00;05;23;54 and keep learning forever
00;05;24;23 - 00;05;26;54 because I felt so misinformed
00;05;26;54 - 00;05;29;05 as a kid, I felt so little
00;05;29;05 - 00;05;30;45 and unable.
00;05;30;45 - 00;05;33;03 And so as I got older
00;05;33;03 - 00;05;34;42
and as I continued on my journey,
00;05;34;42 - 00;05;36;37 I started to realize
the importance of,
00;05;36;37 - 00;05;38;38 you know, having a routine
creating plan,
00;05;38;40 - 00;05;39;52 setting goals,
00;05;39;52 - 00;05;41;23 working out daily
00;05;41;23 - 00;05;42;32 and even if it was just
00;05;42;32 - 00;05;44;43 15 minutes, like most things
like that, they
00;05;44;57 - 00;05;46;25 they really make the biggest
00;05;46;25 - 00;05;48;58 impact on your life because
00;05;49;58 - 00;05;51;27 it teaches
discipline and teaches
00;05;51;27 - 00;05;52;47 teaches consistency.
00;05;52;47 - 00;05;54;11 So with all that being said
00;05;54;11 - 00;05;55;52 recently, over
the last couple of years,
00;05;55;52 - 00;05;58;16 I had gained, you know,
some way drop some weight
00;05;58;32 - 00;06;01;09 and I'm not perfect.
00;06;01;09 - 00;06;03;07 And that's that's really with
00;06;03;07 - 00;06;04;52 one of the reasons
why I started this channel
00;06;04;52 - 00;06;06;18 was because
I don't want people to think
00;06;06;18 - 00;06;07;41 that I think I'm perfect.
00;06;07;41 - 00;06;09;29 I want you to understand
that we're not perfect
00;06;09;29 - 00;06;11;20 and that your weight
fluctuates
00;06;11;20 - 00;06;12;48 and things happen in life
00;06;12;48 - 00;06;14;22 and all this shit happens.
00;06;14;22 - 00;06;16;47 I understand that,
but you have to continue to
00;06;16;49 - 00;06;19;08 hotel
hunting how there's a mentality.
00;06;19;08 - 00;06;21;33 Like I said, stay optimistic.
00;06;21;33 - 00;06;22;56 Keep pursuing these things.
00;06;22;56 - 00;06;24;29 Even when you feel like
you've fallen off,
00;06;24;29 - 00;06;26;05 even when you feel like
you've messed up,
00;06;26;05 - 00;06;27;35 continue to hunt health
00;06;27;35 - 00;06;28;59 and keep pursuing
00;06;28;59 - 00;06;30;09 the things
that you want in life.
00;06;30;09 - 00;06;31;28 Because as long as you're
00;06;31;28 - 00;06;32;40 living and breathing,
00;06;32;40 - 00;06;34;01 you still have the ability
00;06;34;01 - 00;06;36;14 to do those things
that you want to know
00;06;36;14 - 00;06;37;59
and nobody tell you otherwise.
00;06;37;59 - 00;06;38;42 I appreciate you
00;06;38;42 - 00;06;40;19 if you made it
through this entire video
00;06;40;19 - 00;06;42;27 and you got to learn
a little bit more about me.
00;06;42;27 - 00;06;45;05 There's still thousands of
things that I'm leaving out,
00;06;45;21 - 00;06;46;32 but I just wanted to give you
00;06;46;32 - 00;06;48;32 all a brief run
through of who I am
00;06;48;57 - 00;06;51;26 and what made me
kind of start
00;06;51;35 - 00;06;52;47 my journey.
00;06;52;47 - 00;06;54;04 So my man,
00;06;54;04 - 00;06;55;02 what made me,
00;06;55;02 - 00;06;55;59 what made me kind of start
00;06;55;59 - 00;06;57;37 my journey and
00;06;57;37 - 00;06;58;48 and hopefully
00;06;58;48 - 00;07;00;08 I can continue my journey
00;07;00;08 - 00;07;01;27 with you all and watching
00;07;01;27 - 00;07;03;01 and keep giving
you good content
00;07;03;01 - 00;07;04;59 and in feeding you
00;07;04;59 - 00;07;06;36 things that I never had
in the beginning,
00;07;06;36 - 00;07;07;50 because I know what it's like
00;07;07;50 - 00;07;10;37 to feel a little and unable
and uneducated
00;07;10;37 - 00;07;12;02 and misinformed
00;07;12;02 - 00;07;13;24 my entire
childhood all the way.
00;07;13;24 - 00;07;15;16 Until I was an adolescent,
00;07;15;16 - 00;07;17;20 I thought big boned was real.
00;07;17;20 - 00;07;18;09 I thought that I was just
00;07;18;09 - 00;07;20;36 big, bone big boned, and
00;07;20;36 - 00;07;21;39 that was my DNA
00;07;21;39 - 00;07;23;00 and I was stuck with it.
00;07;23;00 - 00;07;24;39 So with that being said,
00;07;24;39 - 00;07;26;54 I appreciate you again
for watching this video.
