Summary

Dr Mark Sherwood is at the forefront of pioneering medical practices, which involve encouraging people to better assume control of their own health through effective education, state-of-the-art diagnostics and impactful personalised wellness plans. But Dr Mark's purpose comes from his personal story, and it's an inspiring one.

On this weeks episode, Dr Mark joins me for a multi-faceted, diverse conversation about his ground-breaking work, his incredible past and how he's turned emptiness into fulfilment (Mark's many roles in life include such experiences as being a bodybuilder and a SWAT officer for the police!). Dr Mark has taken the pains of his past and turned them into a true force for good. Prepare to be inspired by Dr Mark Sherwood and his amazing passion for life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When you are adopted, as Dr Mark was, it causes a gap in your heart that can't be filled unless you get answers. We all deserve to know where we come from and who we really are.
  • Everyone has the power to make a positive impact in the world if we can just take our pains and turn them into a game - take the scars we gain in life and turn them into stars.
  • If you're setting goals in life that are within our reach, then they're not really goals. You have to set the bar higher than you're comfortable with, because only then do we achieve true growth.
  • The word may not have known it, but we were in need of a rest. We were becoming far too complacent. COVID and its hangover have shown us that we were losing our way. We should embrace the change that has come in its wake.

BEST MOMENTS

'The way you're brought up shapes who you are as an adult'

'Anything is possible for anybody if they just believe hard enough and work hard enough'

'If you set goals that are high enough where you can reach them - the goals are too low'

'We've forgotten how to ask the question "Why?" and I'm grateful to do that'
