” I didn’t think I would be able to move towards the shape that I am moving towards. I have been able to make progress and I never believed this would happen, but you get to a certain point where you wants abs more than you do dessert. At 60 I feel good, I feel healthy, so to me this has been a really good experience.
I chose MAPS because I was in the defense industry, and we worked with a lot of military folks. They would be coming back from deployment, and worked particularly with Navy Seals, and one of the challenges is they would come back with a lot of mental health issues. They would have traumatic brain injuries, they would have PTSD, addictions, alcoholism, and more. For a lot of these guys, if you get a chance to meet them, it just breaks your heart because of what they are going through, what their family is going through, and by going through these protocols these people are having complete resets in their life. They say it is like pushing a button on a computer, and the whole thing resets. Now people like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and a bunch of others are opening up to these alternative therapies making a continued difference, and I am excited about that. “
