A little over a year ago, advisor Jonathan DeYoe was in a healthy place; he was meditating on a regular basis, working out, eating and sleeping right.
But in the summer of 2021, he tragically lost his only brother and business partner, David, when he drowned in the Pacific Ocean. Jonathan says his life came to a “screeching halt” that day. While coping with grief, he struggled to stay healthy. Since then, he has been on a journey to rebuild healthy habits after experiencing this huge loss.
