Rich Roll experienced overweight, depression, chest tightness, and shortness of breath at age 39 due to the standard American diet, fast food, and late nights.

“I was living the typical life of kind of an overworked, overstressed corporate attorney, sedentary, classic couch potato. I was about 50 pounds overweight... And at the same time, I was kinda depressed and unenthusiastic about my life... I was subsisting on the standard American diet, a lot of fast food, late nights at the law firm, Chinese takeout and just basically whatever was in front of me to eat and whatever was most convenient.”
