Join 6AMRun.com Ambassador and Host, Marc Paisant, as we welcome Model, Mental Health Advocate, Trainer, and Athlete, Jonathan Niziol. 

Jonathan's journey began on a tranquil Canadian farm, but it took a heart-wrenching turn when his mother passed away just before his 21st birthday. Despite facing years of addiction and personal demons, a wake-up call at the age of 25 ignited a transformative fire within him. This drove him to rebuild his body and mind while navigating the profound loss of his mother.

In tribute to his mother's legacy, Jonathan ventured into the world of modeling, confronting his inner demons. The pursuit of perfection led to body image issues and a challenging relationship with food.

Amidst these struggles, he faced the nightmare of sexual assault and the heartbreaking loss of close friends to suicide and car accidents. Depression and anxiety added to the weight of his burdens, pushing him down a path of drug addiction. However, in 2017, Jonathan took a courageous step by embracing therapy, ultimately breaking free from the grip of addiction that had held him for 15 long years.
