What if terminal illness wasn’t the end of your story—but the beginning of true healing?

In this episode, Dr. Gez Agolli and Dr. Pete Sulack pull back the curtain on the broken healthcare system and share the healing principles that helped one of them survive a terminal diagnosis—using the very protocols he once prescribed.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why the current healthcare model often fails people with chronic and terminal conditions

How Dr. Sulack overcame terminal brain cancer using a root-cause approach

The most dangerous myths about healing—and what to believe instead

The #1 natural therapy both doctors rely on for transformation

How to begin your own healing journey—body, mind, and spirit

If you or a loved one is facing illness, this is the hope-filled, empowering message you need.
