#295 - WE ARE TIM KAUFMAN BREAKING FREE FROM A SELF-MADE PRISON We Are Superman
-
- Sports
Tim Kaufman fell victim to all of the classic American poor lifestyle choices. He ate primarily processed food – and large quantities of it. After surgery related to a crippling disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, doctors prescribed painkillers and soon he was hooked on them. Like most addicts, he connived ways to get more of them and even more powerful narcotics, like fentanyl. He smoked, he chewed, and he drank staggering amounts of vodka. Tim was raised in a strait-laced Christian family in a quiet, rural town, demonstrating how his pitfalls don’t discriminate based on social standing. Realizing he would soon be in a coffin, 400-pound Tim decided it was time to get bariatric surgery, only for his doctor to tell him that his body’s catastrophically poor health wouldn’t allow for him to have it, which sunk him into further despair. Four simple words from his terminally-ill mother-in-law shook Tim into deciding that he needed to find a way to live. Tim knew David and like the latter’s book, Out There, Tim has just released his book, Escape: Breaking Free From a Self-Made Prison, in which he similarly has a remarkable transformation. Tim also adopts a plant-based diet and becomes a clean and sober Ironman triathlete who discovers that gratitude could change his outlook in life and help him become the husband and father his family deserves, and an inspirational and motivational human. Like many in his shoes, Tim’s tribulations have helped him learn some fantastic perspectives, which he shares in his book, which is now available on Amazon. Please enjoy this entertaining chat with an amazing man.
