Infrastructure is destroying our minds & bodies!
Here comes the documentary you didn't know you needed.
We sit working, driving, and resting. You’ve heard “sitting is the new smoking.” We joke about the typical American lifestyle, but doctors are alarmed at the toll lifestyle takes on us.
The body falls apart without physical activity.
heart disease
cancers
diabetes
obesity
The mind falls apart without physical activity.
cognitive decline
depression
anxiety
social disconnection
A doctor prescribes walking or bicycling, but the patient can't fill the prescription.
How important is that? Well, pretty important considering the top 10 causes of death in America can all be reduced by walking & bicycling.
There's an unhealthy infrastructure saga that needs to be told.

We’re all at risk of losing our minds & bodies to a sedentary lifestyle. Still, there is hope.
These are stories that beg for a documentary, so I'm on it. I’m producing a film about the quest to fill a prescription for active living. The stakes, how we got into this predicament, and the path to a healthy future.
Once you absorb these stories and see what ordinary people can do to break free, I think you’ll be as optimistic as me about our future.
