What makes Daily Dose Nutrients so special? Why did you start Daily Dose Nutrients? Who is Hagen Becraft?
I'm going to answer those questions in a second... but first, let me introduce myself...
My name is Hagen Becraft.
And at the age of 12 I had a condition. A condition that would change my life forever.
It was called 'Pectus Carinatum'
After 6 years of battling with it, I came out victorious. No, it's not a terminal disease but, it did affect me psychologically. I spent every single day from the time I was 12 years old to 18 staring at my reflection, hating what I saw. It is commonly known as "pigeons' chest", and it is a protrusion of the sternum caused by an over-development of cartilage.
Age 14
Covid. Everyone knows this story and has a different version of it. Mine went something like this:
Online school, skateboarding 8 hours a day, sleep, repeat.
Skateboarding was my passion. I fell in love with the sport and became obsessed. I was skating all day and constantly exerting myself, didn't matter if it was 100 degrees or 20, I was out there pushing.
However, there was a problem. I was different form everyone.
It haunted me every day knowing that I was different from everyone. My anxiety was through the roof and my self-esteem was nonexistent. I was insecure of how I looked so much that I stopped taking my shirt off around people. I felt judged if I did.
After years of this, I decided I needed a change.
Age 16
Around this time, I went to see a specialist a few hours from where I lived. They put me in a brace that compressed my sternum and felt like hell every waking moment. The pain was insurmountable so much so that I couldn't sleep for days and when I'd take it off (I would wear it for 16-24 hours every day) the skin underneath would be purple.
This was one of my lowest years of my life and I will never forget the pain I experienced. In the end it made me a stronger person and led to who I am today. Throughout this process I kept skateboarding as much as I could while also trying to wear the brace regularly and then....
Age 17
My senior year of high school was when life began to get crazy for me.
- I signed a contract with a modeling agency in New York and I was invited to fashion week!
- I saw improvements in my chest!
- Now I'm a sponsored skateboarder!
My mind was blown!
And then it happened...
I injured my ankle. Every skater's worst nightmare.
I had lost my spark for skateboarding, so I took some time away. In the place of skating, a new spark was ignited. I discovered my passion for fitness and health. I began gaining some muscle mass and mobility in my ankle, but it still hurt like hell.
I went to see my specialist again and they saw the condition my skin was in. The spot was thin, bruised, and dark purple. I was distraught. I kept thinking, "how the hell am I going to model with a chest that looks like hamburger?" The solution was then laid in front of me. They recommend I take a collagen supplement. So, I began searching. After taking 1-2 scoops a day, my ankle was feeling better than ever, and my skin was healing! There was hope for me yet!
Age 18
I graduated high school and became a personal trainer at a gym in Richmond, Ky. I began my pursuit into the world of health and fitness. At this point, I had finally achieved the body of my dreams, and I was free of the brace for good. The skin of the affected area had started to heal much faster than anticipated and my insecurities were finally gone.
It was at this point I knew I had overcome one of the biggest obstacles in my life and I had this burning desire to help others who were experiencing similar issues.
