Hi, Full Time YouTuber Here - Excited To Share!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

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!

@battleaxe

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!

Welcome to steemit. Hopefully you will have a successful journey here. Perhaps we could follow and support each other along the way! Good Luck!

Thank you!

Hi @brianturner
One of female friend is having acne and she kind of tried all things but its not being effective as it should be .
We are vegetarians too.
Could you please let me know what vegetables you took ?
What was your diet.
It might make a difference to somebody.

thanks a lot

Welcome to Steemit, Brian. Great introduction post. That's an amazing recovery from acne, good video. I will look forward to seeing more from you. Have fun Steeming.

Fucking awesome dude! Ironically enough, I've never stumbled upon your videos (ironic because I'm a fit freak and also youtuber as well xD) so awesome to meet you!! Welcome to Steemit and excited to see your posts/watch new Tube content! (yay for veganism!) If you're ever in LA let me know, I'll show you the hottest spots for vegans! Cheers!

Nice to see you here, I've seen your acne videos on Youtube before, but we NEED a link to that nacho(?) video you are teasing us with with that last photo, looks amazing!

Welcome to Steemit. Good to see someone showing you don't need meat to be fit. I hope you have fun here and can help to spread the word about this amazing platform.

Welcome Brian, I think its fantastic that you decided to join us. You will find Steemit a bit confusing at first, but its nothing to be discouraged about. There are many Steemians willing to lend you a hand, and I won' t be the first one to offer some help.

In any case, I wish you much success!

Welcome Brian. I am a fellow vegan still going through the evangelical state! I also am a Youtube albeit with far less subscribers than you. Hope Steemit works for you.

That's awesome! Good luck, YT is a hell of a game, very tough but super rewarding if you get there!

Search Youtube for socialexperimentalist if you want to see some unusual footage

Yes I think to be vegan or on a raw food diet will help you a lot. I could see my face glowing after changing my diet and joining yoga and meditation.
Nice to see you here :)

That’s awesome to hear! I has improved a lot of things in my life as well glad to hear there are others here as well!

Great contribution bro, congrats and welcome.

Hi Brain, i am really impressed with the way you overcame your acyne and your attitude even when the chips were down. am really encouraged.

Thank you, it builds mental fortitude to have to endure anything that you deem tough

Hi ▂ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ @brianturner █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▂ ... Nice to meet you... Welcome to Steemit community.

nice post...
i followed and upvoted you...
help me to get followers and upvotes...
thank you...

Very impressive the situation you went through and how you faced it. Welcome to the steemit community! Success!

Nice, Brian. I ran into your channel on YouTube a few weeks back and found your enthusiasm and charisma encouraging. I had pretty bad acne in my teenage years and was too embarrassed to do anything. I see how much of a mistake that was. You're a great leader and paving the way for young folks to not be ashamed of what they can't control, and to seek treatment! You deserve your success. Keep on keeping on!

That’s really cool you saw my channel before I got here! I’m glad you appreciate the content and I’m really happy to be able to help kids who have been in my position and even adults who have adult acne!

Welcome to the platform my friend. You will do well on here for sure. Have a great day!

Hey Brian that's cool! Welcome to the wonderful community of Steemit. Cheers! 🍻

wow! great Brain

Hello @brianturner I am glad you overcome this painful thing

im very well aware of the perks to boost your health while on a vegan diet - i feel it is important as well to change it up from time to time - keeping an alkaline environment will always keep away any kind of sickness - like almonds are a high source of B17 which helps cure cancer ; although in the same turn of events never getting sick is also a risk - you wont be able to build up an immune system for when there is a sickness floating around . very well put though and very well explained .

Hey Brian! I am new as well, awesome to see some great personalities coming to the SteemIt platform!

Hello, you are welcome to steemit!!! I give you upvote now and in the furtureu.gif

Congrats on your awesome journey. I used accutane years ago to clear my acne aswell. It was mostly body acne for me. I never got a call from The Doctors to go on their show lol.

Yo Brian, welcome to steem!!!!

wow! this is an amazing post. This would definitely help others out that gives up on overcoming these situations. Good Job Brian! Great Post!

Such a cool journey. Welcome to the steemit family. Looking forward to more of your posting. Food and fitness are so important for all disease. My hubby has MS and hasn't had a flare-up since we gradually transitioned to a plant-based diet. No meds for over 3 years now too and not a single issue. Steem on!

Wow that’s really cool! Nothing more awesome than the power of plants!

wow... im from indonesia... you hebat... saya salut

Welcome to steemit!!. I know how acne can affect a persons life. I had wicked bad acne as a youngster and got bugged and teased and bullied. It messed me up when I was young. Godd on you for bringing your struggle to youtube and now steemit.
Cheers!

It’s rough sometimes my man, but all hardships grow the person behind them!

Hi @brianturner, welcome to steemit! I'm a vegan and a YouTuber too, although not as successful as you are, but I like what you're doing! Looking forward to reading and watching more of your content =)

Thanks mate!

You are welcome to steemit, you will love it over here =)

This is a fantastic post! I can relate, diet was a big factor to me! I cured my hypoglycemia, allergies, cronic menstral cramps and minor facial skin blemishes. I began cutting dairy and bread put of my diet and now I have been raw vegan for 6 years. I have so much more energy. Plus I never get the common flue. No joke.

Hello brian I just subscribed your Youtube channel. It has great Content :)

nice to know about you brother. welcome on steem it . we hope you will enjoy here and that would be much appreciated to learn something

Welcome to steemit.

Excellent post

Hey @brianturner

I am really shocked. I know it's very hard to see our acne face, specially when you are in your teen age. It's age when you like to look handsome and it affects your confidence level and you feel shamed.

Your videos are really helpful and motivating for teenagers. I am sure you are going to be popular here as well.
