After being in septic shock and being given a week to live by his doctors, Mario Godiva went from stage four cancer to complete remission in fifty days.

Now in a world seeking more guidance about health, he shares all his healing secrets with the global audience in this combined memoir and instructive wellness action plan.
Do you experience unchecked stress, anxiety, or overwhelming adversity that feels insurmountable? Are you drowning in negative patterns, wanting to change, but are uncertain how to surface for air? Are you experiencing one health issue after another or even suffering from chronic health issues that keep you on the elliptical of symptom management with rotating cocktails of pills? Do you simply want to up your wellness game and be the best version of you but feel paralyzed by your personal circumstances? Then you may be frozen, and this book is a must-read for you.
