About Me

Anyways, Who AM I?

Name's Dillon. John Dillon. But seriously, all James Bond references aside, I'm a young guy with a passion for a lot of things, some of them happening to be fitness, wellness, health, (insert synonymous word), and giving back to others. I've been into fitness for quite some time- I spent about six months training during my sophomore year of high school, and I've currently been consistently training for the past year or so. I've learned a lot to say the least, a lot of that learning coming from mistakes I've made and misconceptions that I've had. However, I've also learned a lot by reading medical studies and books on the response of particular nutrients, supplements, etc on the body and mind. In regards to giving back to others, I've been a mentor through Best Buddies International for the past two years and will be continuing during my time in college and even beyond. I've also helped a lot of people to change their lives through developing good habits of all sorts- perhaps sometime I will feature their stories on my blog. 

You're also probably wondering "What the heck is up with the name, 'RocketFuel'?". Well, it comes from a guy named Charlie Jabaley, AKA Charlie Rocket. If you don't know him, you can find him practically anywhere on social media or by a quick Google search. For those who don't know him and are too lazy to look him up (tisk tisk), he's a business mogul and millionaire who managed Two Chainz and revolutionized the music industry. A year or so ago, he was also nearly 300 pounds and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Recently, he has given up his prior life and completed a triathlon, biked across America, and impacted many, many lives for the better. So yeah, I think you get the whole rocket thing now. He's a pretty neat dude. 

So what's this blog going to consist of? For the most part, it will just be me talking about cool stuff. Duh. On a serious note, I'll go into detail about various subjects like nutrition, fitness, mental health, overall well being, how to improve them all, etc. This will also be the basis upon which I expand my platform- one of my goals is to start some form of a podcast (stay tuned for that) in addition to perhaps a YouTube making educational videos as well as turning my Instagram into a motivation powerhouse.

So many of you are probably thinking "He's CLEARLY just doing this for the money." And you'd be sort of right, but you'd also be extremely wrong. Yeah, if I could monetize my stuff while at the same time providing value and unbiased content, of course I'm going to do it- so would anyone else with common sense! That being said, that is not my main goal. My main goal is to help others- like I've said before and will continue to emphasize. For those who don't know, my heart lies in computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc. It is my goal to own a company that completely revolutionizes some way of our lives for the better. So yeah, pretty cool stuff. Did I mention I'm sorta a nerd?

So please, stay tuned- or don't, but I'm sure you'll regret it one day when all of this goes viral and you could've had the chance to know me from the beginning or connect with me. But that is up to you, my friend. Life is full of choices, and... you get the point.

JD3 out.

Why We Stress- And The Simple Way NOT To.

Stress. The dubious figure who it seems like we all know far too well these days. Whether it be about our health, our futures, our circumstances, or social, personal, or political issues, we all stress- far, far too much. There are many universal truths in the world, like the fact that the world is round and that water is wet (let's face it folks, it is...), yet more and more I get the sense that the newest overwhelming truth is stress. Let me just start by saying that it is OK to stress. It's actually perfectly human and animal, and in many circumstances it can be what saves your life (reference the fight or flight response). Second, this isn't going to be a scientific article. It's going to be one that hits your heart, not your brain- so just fair warning. Personally, I was always a really stressed out kid. I constantly worried about being perfect- literally. Like so much so to the point that I got mad when I had a 101% in a class instead of a 102%. Yes, it...

The Precedence of Being Present

Perspective. No matter where we go, what we do, or how we feel, we all have the conscious ability to choose our perspective, our outlook on the events that transpire- on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis. I feel as if Happiness has become a sort of fairy tale in recent times. Recently I've been reading the book Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and he makes a great point- in the past thousand years, we have come a LONG way in terms of technological and social advancement. Yet despite all of these "new" and amazing things, it doesn't seem as if much more of us are any happier. In my opinion, I feel like people are only getting sadder. There seems to be this increasingly pessimistic view of the world permeating the planet- just turn on the news, and there you are greeted by the most recent tragedy. Drugs are becoming an ever increasing problem in our society, just as substance abuse with things like alcohol, cigarettes, nicotine, etc. So that's where the r...

The Long and Short of Vitamin C

Vitamin C... NOT Sea Oh Vitamin C, how many puns have people made about you in their Instagram feeds? I honestly feel like it's a vitamin that is really misunderstood by most people in today's world. Yes, oranges have it, and yes, it helps your immune system. But it really is much, much deeper than that. First off, I just want to say that I will be referencing a lot of information from the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements [1] in this post (talk about a mouthful). Yes, you can go and read it if you want, but it'll probably take you an hour to get through the whole thing- so I'll do you a favor and keep it short and sweet (get it? Fruit? Sigh.). So here's the scoop. Vitamin C is a vitamin that plays a host of roles in the body, from helping with protein metabolism to helping form collagen (collagen is a part of connective tissue in your body, and helps with stuff like healing wounds or cuts). It also has antioxidant properties, w...
