This very thinking is what started and continues to feed my own personal mission.
My Personal Mission: To inspire and educate more than 1 Million people to take
control and achieve true health by finding and fixing the underlying cause of their
health problems instead of being stuck relying on prescription drugs that merely
cover up their symptoms while their health continues to suffer.
Imagine the potential snowball effect that reaching 1 Million people could have. Imagine
what would happen if other likeminded doctors and practitioners came together. 1Million
would become 2 Million or even 10 Million.
The potential is limitless.
Evolution from Engineer to Health Advocate & Practitioner
Growing up, I always had a keen interest in health and exercise. I was a naturally gifted
athlete and always aimed to better myself whether it was on the field or in the gym.
I considered myself to be of pristine health while eating according to the still commonly
accepted nutrition beliefs supported by dietitians, doctors, the FDA, and various other
healthcare advocates and associations. I ate a low fat diet with plenty of whole grains,
low calorie diet drinks, and meal replacement bars. And junk food was never even a
thought. At the time, I was convinced that I was doing everything right.
Instead of following my passion at the time, I pursued an education and career as an
engineer, which in hindsight, ended up being one of the best things that could have ever
happened to me.
I have no doubt in my mind that if I entered the health field as a doctor, physical
therapist, or otherwise, I would have ended up accepting and adopting the very same
illogical preconceptions about health that I now advocate against.
But it didn’t happen without consequence.
While I continued to live my so-called “healthy” lifestyle, my body began telling me a
different story. My energy levels began to drop quickly, my cholesterol was elevated, I
began to experience digestive issues, and I always seemed to be suffering from skin
issues that wouldn’t clear up. I finally came to accept the fact that these symptoms were
not a sign of pristine health.
Then, by chance, I happened to meet one of the most enlightening and influential
people of my life: my wife, Karen.
