In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, Aaron Cerrone, co-founder of Herstel Health, shares his journey from martial arts instructor to holistic wellness entrepreneur. He discusses how merging metabolic and mental health creates lasting transformation, why most chronic diseases stem from poor gut health, and the dangers of modern medicine’s symptom-focused approach. Aaron also reveals why he prioritizes working himself out of a client’s life—equipping them with sustainable tools rather than fostering dependency.

Aaron dives into the philosophy behind Hurstel Health’s 3-phase recovery system and why referrals (not ads) drive their business. He challenges entrepreneurs to define success before scaling, warning against the trap of “more is better” at the expense of happiness. The conversation shifts to practical health tips—like cutting processed foods and sugar—and why CEOs neglect wellness coaching despite its impact on performance.
