- [Vishen] There used to be a time when I would, every now and then,

Transition words & phrases

bring donuts to the office for my teammates, because I thought that this was

Today, I would never do something like this.

In 2016, I went through a transformation that changed me dramatically.

I had to toss out 70% of the clothes in my closet because my body shape changed.

I went from 22% body fat to 15% body fat.

It was January of 2016 and I was at an event called

It's a gathering of some of the top authors in spirituality and health and

At this particular gathering, I was new and I saw this one guy

who was being presented with a gold medal by all of these other authors.

And one by one, they were getting up and acknowledging him and how

So apparently, he had helped a large number of these authors

go through a massive health transformation.

So when Eric got on stage to get his award, he announced that he was going to

do this health transformation challenge again for the authors in that room

I decided to connect with Eric and sign up for the next challenge

So it was February of 2016 that I participated in this

And what happened to me next was transformative.

So Eric's a South African entrepreneur and he had started a number of different

companies in different fields, including a production company that worked

But it's what he does in his spare time that makes him really unique.

He spends a good deal of his spare time living with the San people

of South Africa, hunting with them, living with their tribe,

And he noticed something fascinating about the San people.

Even in their older ages, he noticed that the men and women

But here's the curious thing, modern science shows that the San people

do not do any more exercise than modern living humans.

It's a myth that many indigenous tribes actually get more exercise.

So what is it that made the San people so much more healthier?

So Eric gained an ability to flip a switch in his biology.

Rather than get his body to crave sugar and burn the sugar that he's consuming,

he trained his body to burn the excess fat.

Our bodies today carry about a quarter-million calories of excess

Eric trained his body to tap into those fat reserves for incredible energy

And WildFit was transforming the health of all his friends including me.

Check out these videos of fellow authors at the Transformational Leadership

Council talking about what Eric just did for them.

- [Woman 1] I cannot say enough about the WildFit program.

I released weight, 19 pounds, and I've kept it off.

- [Woman 2] My allergies went tremendously down, and also, I started having the last

year's pain in my bones, like on my knees, my joints, and after doing WildFit,

that was actually gone without doing extra exercises.

- [Man 1] Don't know how many times I've been on diet, but every time,

And thanks to Eric and the WildFit, I lost about 20-some pounds.

- [Woman 3] And what I love about WildFit is that it brings you the confidence

to live the life you want to live, to become the owner of your choices,

in terms of the food you eat, and also, to be aware of your habits.

Fifteen pounds fell off, but not because it was a diet,

WildFit is not a diet and it's not a lifestyle change.

Eric also just, a couple of months back, received a gold medal from the Canadian

Senate for what he did transforming the health of a Canadian politician.

It was as if I reversed my aging by a good five to eight years.

And, you know, when you stumble upon something that's so powerful,

you want to tell all your friends about it, so I told my parents,

My mom and my dad, who was 70, went through it,

And then I decided the ultimate test was to bring this to my company.

And this is where you see why I no longer bring donuts to the office.

Over 100 people in Mindvalley and their spouses went through WildFit.

One guy, Diab, from Egypt, who was hooked on Coke,

Our CTO, Gareth, lost 51 pounds, and the results also applied to women

And what happened is all of these transformations were happening in 90 days.

But the result didn't stop after 90 days.

And so as people's energy levels started shooting up, their work improved,

but not only that, they started getting a desire to take up sports,

to go into weight training, to start training for Spartan Races.

This transformed our company in a dramatic way.

And that's when we knew we had to bring WildFit to our Mindvalley student base.

And that's how Mindvalley WildFit emerged.

So diets don't often work and this is why Americans go into diets, come out of it,

fail, go back into diets, come out of it, fail.
