Hi guys,
A lot of you may know me by my social media handle, @thewellroundedhuman. But i’m Jon, Personal Trainer/ Nutrition Coach based in NYC.
Over the past year I set out to build my personal brand on social media. I posted every day for 3 months without much traction until I made a quick video about seed oils, which immediately blew up on Instagram and Tiktok.
From there, I decided to start my series “Seed oil free in NYC,” where I went out daily and reviewed every single seed oil free restaurant in New York City one by one. That series took my Instagram from 2k to 30k followers in about 6 months, but at that point I pretty much accomplished what I had set out to do (I found every seed oil free restaurant in NYC). Not to mention, I was pretty burnt out from eating out so much.
At this point I had to pivot and find a new direction with my content, and that was when the idea came to me that I should start bringing people to these restaurants. That same day I started my new series where I offered to pay for people’s lunch if we go somewhere healthier. And after just 4 months of doing this new series, my page has grown from 30k to 130k followers.
Every day I get an Instagram DM asking for a list of my favorite healthy restaurants. And after testing a few different methods/platforms, I figured I should just list my 20 favorite healthy restaurants in NYC and give it out for free.
I truly believe health should be accessible to everyone — so I hope this list helps you make a better choice the next time you’re hungry 🙏
