I spent the first part of my life bypassing my body. Being a stubborn perfectionist with the willpower of steel, I forced my body into submission. With every ounce of energy I proved to myself that mind is superior to matter. I did amazing things and accomplished some incredible goals. However, I didn’t realize that I was merely borrowing from the future and in 2019 I finally reached my body’s threshold.

​

My body could no longer keep up with the demands of my mind. My energy began to fade as my body seemed to spring a leak. All of my previously disregarded weaknesses came out in full force. Viruses sprang up which led to specialist after specialist. My health looked great on paper apart from some elevated liver enzymes that no-one seemed to be too concerned about.

My sensitive digestive system would no longer quietly be force-fed my will and I finally caught a break when I was diagnosed with a plethora of food allergies. Eliminating the foods helped for a while until I realized that the intolerances were merely another symptom. There was a deeper and far more insidious cause to my ailments lurking in the shadows.

​

Four years later, I have finally gotten to the root cause of my imperfect health. Now I am on the journey that is leading me to ever increasing vitality! As I reflect back on my adventure through the inner terrain of my body and across the seas of my mind, I uncover the treasures that I picked up along the way so that you, too, may discover the root cause obstructing you from your optimized vitality!

​

My greatest takeaway is that the concept of mind over matter will only get you so far. Success is not in forcing the body to do your bidding. Success is in befriending your body and partnering with it in order to achieve your greatest wellbeing because, after all, your body wants what you want: optimized vitality.
