Today I broke the world record for living underwater. The curiosity for discovery has led me here. My goal from day 1 has been to inspire generations to come, interview scientists who study life undersea and learn how the human body functions in extreme environments. ~Ad mare

This week is World Oceans Week, something by now you all know holds a special place in my heart. I’ve been living in it for the past 97 days. My time undersea has reaffirmed my love, care and curiosity about our oceans. They give us so much, and we need to do the same for them.

Wow, what a journey! On this day exactly one year ago, I commenced my 100-day mission living underwater. Over those 100 days, we spoke to over 5,000 students, made strides towards understanding underwater living, and showcased the power of what  #exploringforlife  can look like!

I lost 3/4in of height while living undersea for 100 days!! At nearly 1.7x pressure, the physical strain literally shrunk me. The interesting solution? My Zero G flight had the greatest impact on restoring my height. This is due to the tension in a zero gravity environment.

Integrating high-intensity movements into your routine increases Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS). In simple terms: better blood flow, improved vasoconstriction and vasodilation capabilities, and a healthier cardiovascular system. This LITERALLY helps keep you younger!
