In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Chase Thornock, a former venture capitalist who rose through the ranks to become CEO of the company. Despite his success, Chase was dealing with physical ailments that left him bedridden and seeking answers from doctors who had none. It was during this time that he realized he was the only one who could heal himself and he took charge of his own health.

Chase shares his journey of understanding the science behind health choices and connecting with his body. He also highlights the business lessons that can be applied to health, emphasizing the importance of being the CEO of your own body and understanding your mindset with health.

He stresses the importance of understanding the stress response on the body and how it contributes to our overall health. Chase also shares tips on how to identify the health issues within yourself and take actionable steps towards achieving optimal health.

About Chase Thornock:
Chase was the CEO of a venture-backed software company and seemed to be on top of the world. However, he was also battling an autoimmune disease that left him incredibly sick and bedridden. After undergoing multiple surgeries, being fed through a line to his heart for months on end, and nearly dying from sepsis, he was told by doctors that they had no more answers for him. However, it was a moment of clarity that changed everything. He realized that he was the only one who could heal himself – not the doctors. He sacrificed greatly and learned how to control and manipulate his mind and body through his autonomic nervous system. He mastered the techniques of healing himself and now shares these techniques through his company, What Magnificence, with healthcare professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs worldwide. His goal is to help others heal and reconnect their minds and bodies so they can achieve their full potential.
