I was diagnosed last year with diabetes at the age of 51 and told I would need to start insulin therapy. By adopting a modified keto diet and developing my workout program, I was able to completely regulate my blood sugar levels and lower my A1C levels to 5.8 without using any medications or insulin therapy. Today my mission is to inspire others to redefine what aging and illness can look and feel like. Adam

After recovering from back surgery and experiencing the sudden loss of my father last year, I can truly say that I’m not just surviving but thriving. I am a black belt, teacher, Athletic Trainer, weightlifter, recreational shooter, and former ice hockey player. Staying healthy and active, especially outdoors, has helped me to get through so many tough times. I strive to be a role model to my students and truly can say I love my job!
Hi! My name is Matt Schenck, I’m out here in West Philly! Body Awareness, Fitness, and Healthy Living are relatively new but very positive additions or adaptations to my life. It’s become a passion for sure, but also a big part of maintaining my mental and emotional health. I’m turning 40 in a few months and, despite the pandemic, I’ve gotten myself into the best shape of my life, in a holistic sense - and I have goals in front of me still! I stay really consistent with HIIT training at RippedPHL, downtown, and I love it The “Don’t stop even if you think you’re about to drop” pace really allows me to push myself in ways I never thought possible. Yoga, Trail/MTN biking, and Running are also big parts of my fitness life. I’ve enjoyed discovering your magazine!
