In 2017, my life was forever changed. I felt a pain like no other and needed to be rushed to the hospital. My appendix had burst. My body went into septic shock and was only given a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery. My infections were so bad, that I was told it was imperative that my colon be removed. This would mean I would be attached to a bag for the rest of my life and need constant care. I had barely started my family. There had to be another alternative. Against the surgeons orders, I decided that was not an option. I kept my colon and consciously made the choice to change everything in the way I had been conducting my life. I knew the rubber had to hit the road. Our way of thinking significantly affects our gut health, so I was on a mission to heal myself mentally, physically and spiritually.
In six weeks, I virtually healed myself. Three months later, I started training. I made the decision to run a half marathon while pushing my son, Orlando, in his stroller the entire way. Twelve months later, I ran thirty half marathons in thirty days for charity, breaking a Guinness World record, all while battling a hernia in the August heat. I ran all my half marathons while in a fasted state. People asked me, how I healed myself and what supplements I took. Healing myself naturally was no easy task. There was nothing on the market that could give me what I needed. I had to experiment to find the right combination. I needed to create a supplement that gave me mental focus and clarity during the day, and the power I needed throughout while not agitating my Ulcerative colitis. That’s why I decided to create DIAMOND LIFE FUEL. This is the only fuel I use to be an Unbreakable Dad, Athlete, and Entrepreneur while living up to my full potential.
