TORONTO – With six million Canadians reportedly struggling with obesity, AMI is behind a new documentary series that follows eight Canadians who have committed to making a change over a three-month wellness journey of body, mind, and soul.
Developed and produced by Anaïd Productions in association with Accessible Media Inc., Mind Set Go features fitness experts Lowell and Julie Taylor (Amazing Race Canada) plus select Canadian Paralympians and athletes, all of whom have used a positive mindset to overcome their own barriers, and who will provide essential insights to participants along the way.
Each episode begins with the participant's backstory – perhaps a health scare or a traumatic event was the catalyst for their weight gain. To bookmark their journey, the participant sets a physically demanding goal, like climbing a mountain, to reveal how their lives and attitudes have progressed after the three months.
Mind Set Go will air Thursdays at 8:30 PM ET/PT starting March 8 on AMI-tv. The series will feature Integrated Described Video and is accessible to audience members who are blind or partially sighted. Full episodes will also be available to steam online at AMI.ca following the initial broadcast.
"We're thrilled to work with Anaïd Productions on a series that encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds to embrace their personal health and wellness journey," said AMI-tv programming and production VP John Melville, in the news release. "The stories are inspiring and highlight what people of all abilities are capable of with the right mind set."
