In this blog I will be discussing all of my interests in various formats as they relate to health, wellness, mindfulness, nutrition, neuroscience, productivity, and exercise. Hopefully, by sharing my insights and experiences I can help you live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. I know that this seems to be a broad list of topics but these are simply the different lenses I will be using to attack the same basic topic: self improvement.
My name is Cormac Nolan and I am currently a freshman at Washington University in St. Louis studying Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology. I am deeply interested in the broad topic of wellness, specifically as it relates to nutrition and the brain. Moreover I am very interested in a career in medicine. The roots for my passion in wellness stem from an autoimmune condition I was diagnosed with: Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Treating this disease led me to learn about functional medicine and by eliminating certain foods from my diet I managed my disease. These experiences have led me down the journey of wellness in all aspects of my life and now I would like to start sharing my experiences. Outside of these interests I love swimming, running, cycling, triathlon, reading, guitar, and hiking. I also work as a spin instructor and am currently working on getting an EMT certification. Moreover, I love endurance challenges. I have competed in triathlons, done multiple 100 mile bike rides and completed a 200 mile bike ride.
