Dr Darren's Story
Finding Purpose
Despite 3 years of intense rehabilitation, he was unable to fulfil his dream of training to be a neurosurgeon as he failed to regain sufficient mobility to, for example be able to respond to emergencies should there be any in the hospital. He initially decided to continue his job as a healthcare administrator but realized his strength was not behind a desktop but direct interaction with the people he could impact.
How the Body Heals Itself
Dr Darren has since been on a relentless quest to even better understand the human body even beyond his original medical training. He has looked extensively at how the mind, nutrition including nutraceuticals, herbs, DNA and the gut microbiome amongst other things all play a part in healing and maintaining health.
