Let's Be Honest
A diagnosis is brutal. There's no sugarcoating it.
But at McClintock Wellness, we believe that mindset plays a powerful role in healing. Therefore, this bio will not be a play-by-play of what treatment was like. It won't dwell on the odds, list grim statistics, or use ugly words like chemo. Instead, it will focus on gratitude, possibility, and the incredible power of integrative healing.
Because while a diagnosis is incredibly rough, there has never been a more hopeful time in medicine. Breakthroughs happen often. Treatments are smarter, more personalized, and more integrative than ever.
How We Healed
I was blessed to have parents who sought the most innovative treatments and wisely decided to utilize an integrative approach to wellness. Our family committed to this program in solidarity. This wasn't just my diagnosis — it was ours. We ate a plant-based diet, exercised daily, meditated as a family, got adequate rest, and made joy part of the protocol. I took targeted supplements, had weekly massage therapy, and used affirmations as part of my daily routine.
Because mindset is medicine, every treatment session (which meant a 3–4 day inpatient stay) became a party — movie screen, pizza
delivery, and a basketball hoop on the wall. A hospital gown? Not for me. Those were for sick people. And even though it was against hospital policy, we always went outside to the rooftop terrace to play some baseball (IV in tow). Policy, schmolicy. 😉
I owe a lot to guidance from people like Dr. Blauwet (a Harvard physician and four-time Paralympic gold medalist) and NFL trainer Mike Ryan, who showed me that with the right approach, my passion for sports could continue. Meet our favorite doctors.
What's Next
We're just getting started. From courses and supplements today to a full wellness clinic down the road, we're building the place we wish we'd had the day diagnosed.
So yes — a diagnosis is extremely difficult. But it can also be a catalyst for growth. Without mine, there'd be no book, no mission, no chance to serve others. No full-circle moment.
I realize that not all stories unfold the way mine did. I am humbled and grateful beyond words.
In Health,
Cade
