Hi, I'm David

Around 2018 I was going through shifts and improvements in my health as I was making lifestyle changes. Some of these changes meant I was no longer a match for most of my existing relationships at that time. So in 2019 I made an intentional effort to expand my social network. I joined some natural health communities and made connections as I was on my health journey.

When the 2020 mess hit I initially felt very lonely, isolated, and discouraged because few people around me saw the world the way I did. It was a very dark time, as I know it was for a lot of people.

I was very fortunate because I was able to invest my time and money to find new friends and groups online and locally. Over the years I've met tons of people online and at big in-person events and made some long-lasting friendships.

This guide is the result of that journey, which helped me stay sane and even thrive during the difficult times as well as discover new opportunities and joy as I continue to grow my relationships.

Inside, you'll find my handpicked groups, resources, and suggestions for creating and strengthening your relational ties in the health and freedom space.
