What if your lowest moment became the very thing that set you free? For years, Tim Kaufman lived in pain so deep it seemed impossible to escape. Diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that left his joints unstable and his body in constant agony, he turned to opioids, alcohol, and food to numb the hurt. At over 400 pounds, on more than 20 prescriptions, and barely able to tie his shoes, Tim thought his story was over. Then one small moment of clarity changed everything. What began as a desperate search for relief led him to a radical truth: the body and mind have an incredible capacity to heal when given the right fuel, the right focus, and the right reason to live.
