Origin Story

After years of feeling drained and dealing with brain fog, my health finally turned the corner and I was starting to feel normal again. Then I discovered my wife of 10 years was having an affair.

I was completely devastated. I felt demoralized and my confidence hit rock bottom.

It started in my 30’s. I was dealing with chronic back and shoulder pain, insomnia, nonexistent energy, indigestion, and then I started having depression, anxiety, and brain fog.

My doctor and other healthcare professionals were not able to explain my symptoms, which started slowly and got progressively worse over the years. I had a successful career in corporate America and I felt myself slipping and I had no idea why.

This went on for a few years and I started to think it was all in my head. I was losing confidence at work due to being tired all the time and my brain fog was getting worse and I started having bad anxiety. I was taking on more responsibility and the levels of stress were increasing and making my symptoms worse.

I was eventually referred to an integrative medicine doctor. He ran a bunch of tests and I found out I had Lyme disease, candida, and mercury toxicity. I was actually relieved at the time because at least I knew I wasn’t crazy and now I knew what I had so at least I could address it. I thought I would take antibiotics and the $1,200 in supplements he sold me and be all better in a few months. It ended up taking a lot longer than that and I got a lot worse before I got better.

My doctor had me taking 3 different antibiotics, 3 times a day along with several supplements that took up a couple feet of counter space. My symptoms got worse and my weight went from 175 pounds down to 140 pounds. I looked and felt horrible.

Several months into my treatment I had the realization that if I was going to get better I had to take my health into my own hands. I went on a search for answers and made it my mission to turn my health around.

It took some time and trial and error but I finally made some progress. I was gaining healthy weight and things were really starting to turn around. For the first time in several years I was starting to feel normal again.

And then I found out about the affair.

I went through a period of extreme depression and self-pity and hit rock bottom. My health took a turn for the worse. My confidence was completely shot.

I eventually had enough of being the victim and made a decision to turn my life around. I got my health back on track and worked on turning my confidence and self-worth around.

I did a lot of self-reflection and it became apparent that I had a different calling in life. I had a corporate job at a prestigious consulting firm with a great salary and benefits but I wasn’t passionate about what I was doing.

I made a decision to leave my career and dedicate myself to helping others find answers to their health challenges and regain control of their health.

 

The Discovery That Changed Everything

Antibiotics weren’t working. Clean eating wasn’t working. Exercise drained me.

That’s when I discovered something my doctors never mentioned: My mitochondria were damaged.

All my symptoms—the fatigue, brain fog, pain, insomnia, anxiety—they all traced back to mitochondrial dysfunction. And conventional medicine had no answers because they were treating symptoms, not addressing cellular energy production.

I dove into the research. Became obsessed reading Dr. Jack Kruse’s blogs on quantum health, mitochondria, and circadian biology. Hundreds of studies on mitochondrial health, circadian rhythm, photobiomodulation, grounding, and environmental medicine.

Here’s what I learned:

Your body still expects the environmental inputs it evolved with for millions of years:

    • Natural light cycles (not 12+ hours under LEDs)
    • Contact with the Earth (not rubber-soled shoes on carpet)
    • Temperature variation (not 72°F year-round)
    • Natural electromagnetic fields (not WiFi radiation 24/7)
    • Connection with nature (not indoors 90% of time)

When you restore these inputs while supporting mitochondrial function, something remarkable happens: Your body remembers how to produce energy efficiently.

Within months, I gained back 35+ pounds of muscle, eliminated brain fog, slept through the night, and had energy I hadn’t felt in more than a decade.

Mitochondria and health became my life’s work.

But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to understand the deepest levels of how light, environment, and quantum biology affect cellular function.
