About Us

My story began in March of 2022 after a routine visit to my primary doctor where I expressed some symptoms I was having. After further investigation from my doctor and a call to the Neurologist on staff I was instructed to go to the emergency room for what I was told were "life threatening symptoms". In complete shock, all I could think about was I can't let my kids grow up without their father.
After a horrific night in the emergency room a room full of Neurologist surrounded my bed that next morning and told me this might be MS (multiple Sclerosis). My next MRI was scheduled two months later. I had a decision to make before that next MRI. I could either accept this or reject this. I chose to reject this path for me and I completely changed my life. I learned everything I could about removing inflammation from my body, and restore my overall health. My next MRI showed I shut the inflammation off in my brain scan and they could see it had been off for two months. Which was the exact amount of time I completely changed my diet and lifestyle. This not only meant they couldn't confirm an MS diagnosis. It meant what I was doing was working. Inspired by my body's reaction to my new way of life I gave it everything I had and never looked back. The power of mindset.
Over the next year I had 5 more MRI's, lost about 85 pounds and had my Neurologist in disbelief. My inflammation went from 1.7 to 0.3, and I was at a healthy weight for the first time in my life.
Heal & Destroy was born out of a passion to share what I learned with others. To build a community of zero self doubters. Whether you are just beginning your journey, years into it or looking to start mindset matters and I'm confident if I can do it, you can too.

That's me down below and about 7 months after my night in the ER. I'm completing my first ever Spartan race and embracing my new self. Oh, and that diagnosis never came. 

In order to heal you must destroy,

John Everest
