“I went from being a really, really miserable, unhappy person – even being so blessed and fortunate – to somebody who's genuinely thrilled with life.”

A lifetime of severe gut issues, allergies and headaches led Matthew to explore the world of nutrition and biohacking in a search for answers. Although he experimented with multiple health strategies, he continued feeling dominated by the hormones of stress. He lived in a state of fight or flight – and knew the solution to heal lay in his mind.

After hearing Dr Joe on several podcasts, Matthew knew he would benefit from the work. He purchased the Progressive Online Course and then attended his first Week Long Advanced Retreat where he experienced a turning point. He began understanding the power of consciousness to create change in the body – and realized his health issues were directly related to lifelong feelings of stress, control, insecurity, and more.

As his transformation unfolded during the retreat, Matthew felt new feelings of love and gratitude. Today, his misery and stress has evolved into a thrill for life and appreciation for his opportunities – including the challenges that help him grow.
