“I’m just one breath away from being an idiot or a blessing. One word away from being an encourager or someone who takes life away.” - Dr. Mark Sherwood
What happens when the armor you’ve spent your whole life building - out of discipline, drive, and duty - suddenly breaks? For Dr. Mark Sherwood, a former SWAT officer turned naturopathic doctor, that moment came in the most personal and devastating way. In this deeply honest conversation, we explore what it takes to walk away from a life that looked “successful” from the outside but no longer fit, and how grief, trauma, and truth cracked him open to a whole new path of purpose.
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t come from fixing what’s wrong, but from returning to who you are underneath all the roles, labels, and expectations.
Today on Limitless:
- The breakdown that became a breakthrough: Mark shares the moment his mother’s suicide shattered his sense of control and became the catalyst for deep change
- From proving to purpose: Why he walked away from a prestigious police career (and pension) to pursue a path of real healing
- Trauma and the body: How unprocessed trauma shows up in physical health and why emotional suppression often leads to disease
- The armor we wear: Especially in high-performance careers, we’re taught to numb, disconnect, and keep going - but it’s our softness that heals
- The problem with labels: Why diagnoses like “anxiety” or “ADHD” can become false identities that keep us stuck
- Lifestyle as medicine: The four non-negotiables that matter more than any supplement, protocol, or biohack
- Limitless living: The power of small daily rituals and reclaiming your own self-trust, one aligned choice at a time
This is one of those episodes that stays with you. Mark’s story is a call to those standing at a quiet threshold, ready to lead life from wholeness, not hustle.
