Good Humans with Cooper Chapman

#223 Mikel Nyholt – Overcoming Burnout: Healing a Chronic Autoimmune Disease


Listen Later

This week on the Good Humans Podcast, I sit down with Mikel Nyholt — a high-performing executive at Usher Group, where he leads sales, marketing, and culture for a $100M+ business employing over 500 people. But behind his professional success lies an incredible story of burnout, resilience, and self-healing that will leave you inspired.


In his late 20s, Mikel’s life came crashing down. After years of pushing himself to the edge in business, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — told he’d need constant care, and even lost vision in one eye. But instead of accepting the bleak prognosis, Mikel chose a different path.


He turned inward, exploring the power of breathwork, mindset, and holistic healing, and seven years later his doctors are still blown away by his recovery and vitality.

In this powerful episode, we dive into:

✅ The personal and professional burnout that led to his MS diagnosis

✅ The moment he decided to take ownership of his healing journey

✅ How breathwork and nervous system regulation changed everything

✅ The role of purpose, balance, and mindset in sustainable success

✅ What he’s learned about leadership, health, and being truly alive


Mikel’s story is a masterclass in self-awareness and the courage to challenge conventional thinking. From corporate burnout to deep healing, his journey shows what’s possible when we stop living on autopilot and start taking responsibility for our wellbeing.
