Listen Later

What if the traumas of your past could be transformed into a beacon of hope for the future? Join us for an intimate conversation with Greg Schindler, a trailblazer in longevity and cellular medicine, as he shares his remarkable journey from a tumultuous childhood in Houston, Texas, to becoming a leader in his field. From facing the heartbreaking suicides of both his biological and adoptive fathers to overcoming addiction, Greg's story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and transformation.

Greg recounts the challenges of growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and transitioning into a more affluent but emotionally complex environment with his stepfather. Despite the external stability, the internal battles led him down a path of substance abuse, seeking validation and escape from his trauma. His journey through self-acceptance and sobriety is both heartbreaking and inspiring, shedding light on the pivotal moments and people who guided him toward a healthier, more purposeful life.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Struggles with addiction, self-acceptance, and the journey to sobriety.
  • Role of a sponsor and the significance of spirituality in recovery.
  • Emotional and transformative visit to the cemetery to close emotional loops.
  • Overcoming negative self-talk and embracing self-compassion and healing.
  • The intersection of personal growth, longevity, and cellular medicine.
  • Addressing the aging population crisis and the potential of cellular medicine for better health.
