How We Got Here

McClintock Wellness wasn't born in a boardroom or from a business plan. It was born in a hospital room.

​

Like so many families, the McClintocks know what it feels like to sit across from a doctor and hear words that, in an instant, change everything. They've lived it. They've searched for answers. They’ve questioned, researched, prayed, hoped, and learned more than they ever imagined they would need to know. They've also celebrated miracles and experienced some pretty incredible outcomes along the way.

​

In early 2014, Kelly and David’s happy, healthy, active 11-year-old son, Cade, began complaining of leg pain. What everyone assumed was a minor sports injury turned out to be a Ewing sarcoma tumor on his left femur. In a single moment, it felt as though the earth had stopped spinning on its axis.

​

As they searched for the most innovative treatment options, they ultimately chose an integrative approach to Cade’s care — one that combined the best of conventional and alternative therapies. They wanted it all: every logical measure, every possible advantage, anything that might help give their son what he needed to heal, recover, and thrive. The goal was simple: kick cancer’s a$$ the first time.

​

That meant Ivy League doctors and world-class cancer centers, naturopaths, dietitians, and herbalists… all the way to the Reiki master, the yogic guru, and the Chinese medicine man. Yep — they wanted it all. Together, this eclectic group became what Kelly affectionately called Cade’s “dream team.”

The results were extraordinary:
• No unplanned hospitalizations
• No infections
• Never missed a workout
• 100% tumor necrosis
• Completed treatment early

​

Yep! God really blessed their socks off. And despite being told he would likely never run or play sports again, he did. And he still does.

​

But here’s the coolest part. Like most preteens, Cade had big dreams. Unlike most preteens, one of his was to start a wellness company.

​

He wanted other people to have outcomes like his — to beat the odds and, more importantly, understand the core principles of long-term health and longevity. How we eat. How we move. How we rest. How we manage stress, find purpose, and nurture our relationships. These are the foundations of whole-person health — and they are remarkably universal.

​

hat the McClintocks learned wasn’t just about overcoming a single health crisis. It became a blueprint for living healthier, stronger, and longer. So, in 2015, with a little adult assistance, McClintock Wellness was born. Today, they call this system The Big 6.

​

And yes — the same formula that helped their family beat cancer can be applied to just about any health goal. Whether the goal is overcoming a health challenge, losing weight, increasing energy, improving performance, or biohacking their way to 120, the foundation is the same.

​One System. Every Health Goal.
