Forgot To Die, Inspiration and Perspiration
Welcome to the 9 Elements Podcast brought to you by Restore Hyper Wellness. I’m your host, Eric Hinman. Each week, I sit down with trailblazers in the fitness, nutrition, and wellness communities, exploring how they optimize their daily lives for ultimate performance to do more of what they love.
I am a 5x Ironman athlete, brand builder, and someone who’s obsessed with health and wellness - structuring much of my day around fitness and recovery protocols.
At 33 years old, Khalil Rafati weighed 109 pounds and was living on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, addicted to heroin and cocaine. With nowhere to go but up, he decided to get sober. Then he discovered juicing. Now a yoga instructor and owner of Sunlife Organics, Rafati is called the ‘Malibu Juice Magnate’ and wrote his own harrowing book, ‘I Forgot To Die.’ He recently moved to Austin to expand the Sunlife Organics presence and has continued to be an inspiration to all.
