The Kris Gethin Podcast 147. Client Spotlight: Stage 4 Cancer to 50 lb Fat Loss and Inspiration to all with Kris Shook
Did you experience a near death experience or illness? What was the most difficult part of the process for you?
Kris Shook is a family man and a business owner and has always been into health,fitness, and competitive sports.
Between 2011 to 2012, he saw one of my series on bodybuilding.com, and was instantly inspired to compete as a bodybuilder.
Whilst preparing for the competition some time in early 2012, he noticed something different in his physique that was not right. He then consulted their family doctor as he felt that his lymph nodes were swollen.
He had undergone laboratory work -- all the results are normal. He actually felt good with no symptoms at all and just went back to his normal life.
However, the swelling did not subside until he decided to have another consultation, and this time, he was referred to a specialist right away.
That moment he knew that there was really something wrong.
He felt utterly hopeless when he realized that all his hard work in preparing for the competition would go to waste.
But then, just when things couldn't get any worse, he received some terrible news. He had been diagnosed with incurable follicular lymphoma - Stage 4.
As still being human, there were moments he experienced depression. Though it was difficult, he managed to stay positive throughout this ordeal. He would eliminate any negative thoughts from his mind, and instead visualize himself competing again and enjoying every moment of it.
He had undergone surgeries and chemotherapies all throughout his journey. He gained weight but managed to get back on track cautiously. And because he discovered biohacking, which was his life saver, he managed to regain his body, strength, and mental health.
Check out this episode with Kris Shook as he shares his amazing journey on how he fought his life-threatening disease and how he regained his self through having a positive attitude, and mindset in life, and how he became an inspiration to all who have been who's also been struggling, and creating his purpose in life.
