International model and fitness coach Jonathan Niziol is on a mission to destigmatize mental health for all men. He candidly shares his reaction after the sudden loss of his mom as he succumbed to substance addiction, body dysmorphia, and the pressures of the modeling industry. Now years sober and physically healthy, Jonathan's message underscores the critical need for men to be okay with vulnerability, opening up about their struggles, and asking for help.
