Phil Norvold, Whealth Limitless member: "On May 23rd, I reached out to the Whealth team in a desperate attempt to avoid back surgery.
My neurosurgeon had just diagnosed me with a 5mm L5-S1 disc herniation that was crushing my sciatic nerve, and insisted that a microdiscectomy was my next option, as everything I tried for the previous 3 months didn’t help.
From March to May, I tried an emergency epidural, yoga, Thai massage, sauna, dry needling, ibuprofen, muscle relaxers, painkillers, cold plunging.. but the pain was relentless, worsening, shooting down my leg & making every day a struggle.
My work, travel, & responsibilities as a father/ husband were all suffering tremendously, so I needed to find a way out.
On May 23rd, I faced a crucial decision: undergo back surgery or try the Whealth Limitless Program, which I had seen online help others like me overcome their back pain.
I scheduled a consultation with co-founder @camborch who helped me believe in myself, and I decided to give the program my all before resorting to surgery.
I started Limitless that afternoon and created a schedule to follow each 30 min daily workout.
I awkwardly introduced myself in the private facebook community and began learning the basics, posting videos, and getting private coaching.
Within 8 weeks, I eliminated 90% of my pain.
By the end of week 1, I could sit comfortably with less pain, put my shoes on, and travel on a plane.
3-4 weeks in, my range of motion started returning, I got stronger, and the pain was at 50%
By week 5, my neurosurgeon told me in a follow up that he no longer recommended surgery, changing his mind, and that what I was doing WAS WORKING!
By week 6, I was back on a bike, and during week 8, I got back to jiu jitsu rolling and I cycled 120 miles.
This program not only gave me my life back but also taught me the importance of balance and intentionality. I’ve decided to run it one more time, as I’ve regained my pre-injury abilities but still have room for improvement.
I’ll be at 100% in no time. This program is priceless, and it works if you work it."
