For many stricken with GBS, the road to recovery is long and arduous. Years of painstaking rehabilitation are often required, and some individuals tragically never regain full mobility. The statistics painted a bleak picture, but I refused to be another statistic.

Driven by an unwavering determination, I embarked on an intensive healing journey. Central to my recovery strategy was a daily cacao ritual. Far beyond its delicious taste, cacao, particularly in its purest, ceremonial form, boasts a wealth of compounds that proved to be instrumental in my healing process.

Cacao is a powerhouse of antioxidants, known to bolster the immune system and combat inflammation – critical factors in recovering from an autoimmune disease like GBS. Theobromine, a natural stimulant found in cacao, provided a gentle energy boost without the jitters of caffeine, aiding my fatigued body and mind.

But cacao's benefits extended far beyond the physical. Rich in mood-boosting compounds like anandamide and phenylethylamine, it acted as a balm for my spirit, alleviating the anxiety and depression that often accompany chronic illness.

Moreover, research suggests that cacao's unique combination of healthy fats and flavanols may support nerve regeneration and cognitive function. I believe this played a crucial role in my ability to walk again in less than a year - a feat that defied the expectations of many medical professionals.

By incorporating cacao into a holistic approach that included supplements like lion's mane mushroom, known for its neuroprotective properties, I experienced a smoother and faster recovery than most GBS patients. Cacao wasn't just a delicious treat; it was my lifeline, my ally helping me gain back my ability to move. Through all of this, I truly believe I gained more than I lost. This has allowed me to continue and amplify my life’s purpose to help other CEO/Founders and entrepreneurs make a greater impact with More Business More Life.
