Frank started college just like any other student. He was outgoing, social, and identified himself as an athlete.
But that all changed in his second semester when he got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Used to peak fitness and endless physical energy, Frank started to experience intense stomach pains and blood in his stools - on a daily basis. Sport became painful and Frank’s social life dried up because he never wanted to be far from a toilet.
After 18 months of declining health, Frank put his trust in the doctors and agreed to have his colon removed. This involved major surgery and a length recovery process. Frank felt better for a few months, then the pain started all over again.
In this episode, Frank tells his story of finding positivity amongst this chaos.
He shares how he was able to learn from his dwindling health to take control of his life and find a way to be of service to others..
I was going to get advice from everyone and filter that through my own decision making system. But ultimately, it wasnt going to be someone else making the decision for me. It was going to be me interviewing, learning and reviewing all this information.
After traditional medicine failed to provide answers, Frank became the CEO of his own health - a decision that opened the door to an intense journey of spiritual and personal development.
Frank learned to see his physical condition through a broader lens. He realized the problem wasn’t just in his physical body - it was connected to his emotions and mindset too. He learned that overall wellness and human optimization is a combination or emotional, spiritual, and physical pillars. Neglect one of these and it create a dis-ease state in another part of your body.
It’s what makes this episode so fascinating.
This podcast is more than a journey back to health. It’s also shows how you can keep control and influence - even when you feel your life is held back by factors outside of your control.
So tune into this episode and listen to an incredible conversation about health, happiness, business, and the role your everyday decisions and habits play in creating a life that’s fulfilling - regardless of your circumstances.
Frank really is a rockstar and I can’t wait for you to be inspired by this unbelievable episode.
