Mendel Krashunsky is the founder of the Frum Health Club, a worldwide movement pushing Yidden to finally take their health seriously. He opens up about losing his father, an oligarch who lived a life of total luxury, to a preventable illness at just 38 years old, and how the grief sent Mendel into his own spiral of emotional eating that left him 70 pounds overweight and battling GERD before he’d even turned 20.
From there, Mendel and Nachi dig into why health gets treated as optional in frum life, even though it’s a mitzvah straight from the Torah, covering ultra-processed food, GLP-1s like Ozempic, how to talk to kids about it, and the viral 10,000-steps-a-day challenge that’s grown into a global movement with tens of thousands of followers. It’s a raw, practical conversation about food, faith, and why taking care of your body isn’t a contradiction to Yiddishkeit, it’s part of it.
