You likely know the relentless drive it takes to build something significant. 

In my 20s, I embodied it – maybe too well. I became the poster child for entrepreneurial burnout: overweight, stressed, riddled with anxiety, sacrificing my well-being on the altar of productivity. Perhaps you've felt that edge yourself?

Thankfully, my path shifted in my 30s. I found mentors and dove deep into personal work, discovering ways to integrate success with genuine fulfillment. Meditation, mindfulness, and discovering powerful natural allies like ceremonial cacao, which helped me cultivate presence and connection, were key. 

It was also during this time that I truly came to understand that peak performance and lasting success aren't just about strategy and hustle; they require a deep commitment to foundational health. I realized that supporting my body with potent, natural compounds wasn't a luxury, but a necessity for anyone looking to thrive long-term, not just survive the daily grind. 

I intentionally created a life where success and fulfillment could coexist – the foundation of More Business More Life®. I wasn't just teaching high performance; I had lived the transformation from burnout to balanced success.

Then, in my 40s, operating at my peak, life threw the ultimate curveball. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) entered my world. My own immune system turned attacker, savaging my nerves, cutting off communication between my brain and body. Within days, the unthinkable happened: I was completely paralyzed. Unable to move even a finger, blink, or speak. Trapped inside my own mind, within a body that wouldn't respond.

The diagnosis was terrifying. GBS is unpredictable; recovery is uncertain. Facing a future measured in maybes – maybe walk again, maybe not – was the ultimate test for someone used to charting his own course. The uncertainty, the sheer powerlessness, was immense.

Lying there, physically powerless but mentally resolute, I made a critical choice. I refused despair. I chose to embrace this terrifying new reality and pour every ounce of my focus into healing. With incredible support from loved ones, I embarked on a journey inward.

Trusting my intuition and my body's innate wisdom – the same intuition that guides many of my business decisions – I chose a path that felt right for me.

While respecting my medical team, I decided to minimize interventions like medications, believing deeply that I needed to foster my body's natural healing capacity and maintain a clear connection to my inner self. 

My focus shifted entirely to holistic well-being. My existing daily rituals, including my cacao practice which supported my mindset and spirit through this ordeal, became crucial anchors for my mental state. 

But for the intense physical battle my body was waging, I knew I needed powerful, targeted, natural reinforcement.

But for the intense physical battle my body was waging, I knew I needed powerful, targeted, natural reinforcement.
...And that reinforcement came from allies I already knew and trusted implicitly: SuperFeast adaptogens. 

You see, my earlier realization about foundational health meant I wasn't new to their power; I'd used them for years to maintain my edge, support my daily well-being, and ensure I was operating from a place of vitality long before GBS ever hit. 

I’ve always believed these intelligent herbs are for anyone dedicated to optimizing their health, whether facing a challenge or simply striving for their best state of being.

But facing this biological crisis? I didn't just continue – I profoundly amplified my commitment.

This wasn't a random guess; it was a core strategy. Believing my body required the absolute best natural resources to fight back and rebuild, I significantly increased both the dosage and the variety of SuperFeast mushrooms and herbs I consumed daily.

This intensified SuperFeast protocol became the absolute cornerstone of my body's natural support system.

When it came to choosing the allies for this fight – the support I was going to stake my recovery on – my standards were sky-high, just like they are for any critical business decision. 

My choice for SuperFeast wasn't just clear; it was a non-negotiable. Here’s why:

My choice for SuperFeast wasn't just clear; it was a non-negotiable. Here’s why:
  • 1st, their Di Tao Sourcing. For me, this meant I was getting mushrooms and herbs from their traditional spiritual homeland, where they’re naturally most potent and energetically sound. If I was going to do this, I needed maximum impact.
  • 2nd, Rigorous Testing. Let me tell you, when your life is on the line, 'trust but verify' takes on a whole new meaning. I needed to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that what I was putting into my body was pure and powerful. Their commitment here gave me that confidence.
  • And 3rd, Potent, Bioavailable Extracts. It’s not just what’s in the product, but what your body can actually absorb and use. I needed every ounce of benefit, no compromises.

Honestly, when everything hung in the balance, SuperFeast was that foundational support I decided to scale up – immediately and aggressively. There was no hesitation on my part; this was a core strategic move for my health.

So, what did my amplified SuperFeast protocol look like? 

I focused on key powerhouses, the ones I intuitively knew and researched would give my system the best shot:

I focused on key powerhouses, the ones I intuitively knew and researched would give my system the best shot:
  • Lion's Mane became a daily staple – my nervous system was ground zero in this battle, and it needed all the specific support it could get.
  • Reishi was crucial. For its incredible ability to support immune balance, which is exactly what you need when your own immune system has essentially gone rogue.
  • Cordyceps was key for rebuilding that deep, foundational energy. I wasn't looking for a quick jolt; I needed to reconstruct my vitality from the cellular level up.

...all of these are renowned for how they help the body build resilience.

Now, I want to be absolutely clear: these aren't 'magic pills.' Anyone telling you that about anything is missing the point. 

What these intelligent, natural tools did for me was work in synergy with my system in incredibly vital ways:
  • They helped my body Adapt to the Intense Stress it was under – think of it as supporting equilibrium during overwhelming physical trauma.
  • They worked to Nourish my Neurological Pathways, providing compounds recognized for supporting nerve health, which was absolutely essential for me.
  • They helped Support a Balanced Immune Function, bringing a sense of calm and intelligence back to my body's defenses.
  • ​And they were instrumental in Building Back my Deep Energy Reserves, cultivating that true, sustainable vitality day by day.
By intensely nourishing my system this way, I aimed to give my body its absolute best chance to perform the miracle of healing.
My journey was extreme, but the lesson is universal for leaders like us

Your health isn't just important; it's the absolute bedrock upon which your entire life, legacy, and daily performance stand. 

This isn't just a truth for those facing catastrophic illness; it's a fundamental principle for anyone striving to live a full, impactful life..

It’s about operating at your best, consistently, not just surviving the day.
You absolutely don't need to face a crisis like GBS to make resilience and foundational health a priority. 

Whether you're at the peak of your game seeking that sustainable edge, looking to manage the daily pressures with more grace and energy, or proactively investing in your long-term vitality, you can make the strategic choice today to give your body the intelligent, potent support it deserves.

I invite you to discover the SuperFeast difference for yourself – the same pure, Di Tao sourced adaptogens I trust implicitly and continue to use daily.
