Why Young People Are Getting Seriously Sick Earlier Than Ever | Corey Jacobs & Yello Pain | Ep. 156

What happens when you finally decide that your health will count?

In this powerful episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada is joined by artist, activist, and storyteller Yello Pain, alongside Liquivida partner and Winnergy founder Corey Jacobs, for an honest conversation about health awareness, personal responsibility, community impact, and creating change before life forces you to.

Yello Pain shares how losing weight and improving his fitness made him feel healthier than ever, until comprehensive testing revealed low vitamin D, abnormal cholesterol levels, and, more recently, prediabetes. His experience became a wake-up call: looking healthy does not always mean everything is healthy beneath the surface.

Together, Sam, Yello, and Corey explore why young people must begin prioritizing prevention, how food deserts and unhealthy cultural norms shape daily choices, and why relatable voices are essential for making health education accessible. They also discuss Yello’s upcoming book, My Health Will Count, Corey’s 16 Principles of Winnergy, and their shared mission to turn complex health information into a movement that reaches communities often left out of the longevity conversation.

This episode is a reminder that you cannot improve what you do not measure—and you should look under the hood before life forces you to.
