Hey everyone! My name is Brian Turner and I guess if I was to describe "who" I am I would first state that I'm a YouTuber. I started a YouTube channel to help people with their fitness journey's but quickly found that I could help people by sharing my hardships dealing with acne.
As you can see here, at my worst my acne was very invasive and very severe. One of the things I am most grateful for is having that severe cystic acne though, as it has allowed to me reach and help so many people through the platform and by sharing my journey openly.
I ended up chronicling my treatment with Accutane for 78 weeks and through the process grew the channel quite a bit! Eventually I was contacted by CBS to be on The Doctors show to talk about how I was able to clear my acne! This all really helped grow the channel and now I have put out 3-4 videos a week for the last 5 years straight!
As well as using my YouTube channel to highlight fitness and reach people who are dealing with hardships like acne, I am also an avid cinematographer and have worked with amazing people like Terry Crews, Bill Goldberg, CT Fletcher, Mike O Hearn and a few other amazing guys. I was really happy to be a part of the CT Fletcher Netflix documentary, "MY Magnificent Obsession" and received my first official credits for a film last year.
I suppose to wrap it up, I'm a vegan at this point as I switched my diet to help with my acne but then learned a lot as I went and am now vegan for life. I'm not a militant person so I don't push this on people, rather I like to create content to help those who are interested instead of focusing on people who aren't. I want to share a lot of that knowledge here as I see a niche for that in the coming years as Steemit develops!
Thank you so much for accepting me into the community, I'm excited to post good content!

Welcome to the community bro. This helped a lot for me and I read a lot of posts that just kept referring me back here https://steemit.com/faq.html Its a lot to take in all at once but it slowly starts to sink in. In that link you'll find all the questions you're probably asking. Good luck on your journey I have upvoted and followed
Good to have you here mate! Welcome :)
This is awesome my dude, just goes to show you everyone should be more open about their lives and share their journeys there are others with the same issues you have and working together we can overcome.
Overcome your acne from your video was really awesome @brianturner. Great post....
Welcome
Waow - with muscles like those you really are a great front man for veganism! Like totally the opposite of the stereotypical image of extremely skinny and slightly unhealthy looking.
Welcome and look forward to hearing more from you.
BTW, I'm quite into wild foods - do you ever incorporate wild plants into your diet so as to benefit from their super nutrients??
Thanks Me and a few friends have done a lot this year to dispel the no muscle vegan myths!
I’m really looking into sifferent plants to try like yucca root and dragon fruit but I’m still expanding!
Have a look into incorporating some common "weeds" into your salads, they're nutrient power houses and I think are not celebrated enough by the veggie community. I've being doing research on wild foods in Brazil and they've really taken off with vegetarian communities there. Look forward to reading more from you!

Great job Brian! This is my first 'hit enter' on @steemit . Great work on the post. I think you're onto it... the first users to really go outside the current 'tag cloud' with deep dive information on useful topics may do very great.
Thanks for the love my friend I’m excited to be here! Yeah I noticed I was posting outside of the highly traffic tags but at the same time as tags can’t populate until there’s good media there!
