Too many people are suffering unnecessarily from chronic illnesses, pain and medication, simply because they're not aware that every illness is really a symptom of an underlying root cause that can be reversed. They're also now aware of how powerful their bodies are in healing themselves. Since 2015, I've helped people reverse all kinds of chronic inflammatory health challenges including type-2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, gout, eczema, psoriasis, obesity, low testosterone, migraines and even Parkinson's in one spectacular case. My most recent talk in January 2019 was at UCLA (The University of California, Los Angeles) entitled: "The Vitality Secret and Rethinking Stress" - in which I spoke about the effects of stress on the body and its role in creating chronic inflammation. More importantly, I introduced the audience (teachers and students) to emotional intelligence techniques to completely reframe stress and to change perception of the world around us - so it does not impact the body. The previous talks was at the London Biohackers Meet Up entitled: "Possibly the most overlooked and cost effective biohack knowns to man" - and this was about the power of our emotions to stimulate healing - scientifically proven. My book, The Vitality Secret, inspires people to heal their own bodies, by getting to the inflammatory root cause of their illness. It also reveals the history of the medical industry and why doctors are not trained in nutrition or how to help the body to heal.. My digital program helps people address the physical, mental and emotional pillars of vitality to heal their own body. In the last 6 years, I have developed an expertise and passion in health and healing. I have written 2 books in nutrition, one which helps men increase testosterone naturally through nutrition and fitness, and more recently, The Vitality Secret. The Vitality Secret raises awareness of a hidden health hazard that is sweeping across the Western world. This health condition leads to accelerated ageing, it's behind many common illnesses like eczema, asthma, psoriases, Crohn's Disease, IBS and more. It also triggers most chronic diseases including cancer, type-2 diabetes, type-3 diabetes (aka Alzheimer's) and cardiovascular disease. This book provides the solution. Mojo Multiplier is a book for men, leading to a program (soon to be Vital Man) on how to increase testosterone naturally through nutrition, fitness, understanding environmental impacts, and by managing emotions. Testosterone Replacement Therapy is pushed by Doctors before anything natural is attempted (generally) - I believe this should the absolute last resort. TRT tells your body to stop producing it naturally and if/when you come off it, your energy levels will plummet along with a plethora of other problems associated with low testosterone.
