Youngevity International, Inc. (YGYI), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company announced that Carpe Canum Media released “The Audacity of Health: The Dr. Joel Wallach Story,” a documentary on the Youngevity founder.

It follows Dr. Wallach’s life and career from his early work in the 1960’s studying one of the first mass (animal) die-offs from pollution and helping to save the White Rhino in Africa, to his work in the 70’s discovering the correlation between nutritional deficiencies in animals and disease, and how it extends into humans.
