You are a hacker, you learn, you play, and you break. The very nature of a hacker is to question what is given to us and to play with the rules. However, most of us do not apply this methodology in all parts of our lives. Many take what is given to us about mood and health as fact and what are the results...overweight, depression, anxiety, and self esteem issues. In this presentation, we will show 2 hackers and their journey on how they addressed the issues mentioned above. Len and Moey followed two separate paths to losing over a combined 150 lbs, gaining confidence, and changing their outlook. The talk will not only cover the touchy feely portion of how to deal with weight, mood,and self esteem but will also be supported by the science behind diets, supplements and perspective. The talk will provide what worked for two hackers. YMMV.
