Anthony Brumfield's journey of redemption will stop you in your tracks. Sitting in a drug rehabilitation center twelve years ago, this former "renegade steroid dealer" received divine inspiration that would transform both his life and the health of thousands: take his underground knowledge legitimate and build a comprehensive wellness center where people could safely access hormone therapy, weight loss solutions, and cutting-edge treatments.What began as one man and his puppy in a tiny clinic has expanded into Body Symmetry MD, a six-location wellness empire spanning from Atlanta to Boston to Palm Desert. Anthony shares the raw, unfiltered story of his rock-bottom moment and how faith guided him toward his true purpose. "God put it on my heart that he knew I liked to help people and he knew I was doing it the renegade way," Anthony explains. "He wanted me to grow along spiritual lines and help people the right way."The conversation takes a powerful turn when Anthony reveals how he's paid his success forward by creating opportunities for others with similar backgrounds. The story of Jose, a franchise owner who built a thriving practice serving Boston's Portuguese-Brazilian community during COVID lockdowns, exemplifies Anthony's philosophy of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. From a cramped 700-square-foot space, Jose built a practice generating nearly $800,000 in revenue that completely transformed his family's life.For health enthusiasts, Anthony unpacks the world of peptides – compounds that act as "messengers" in the body to trigger specific responses like reduced inflammation, enhanced healing, and visceral fat reduction. From BPC-157 (Body Protecting Compound) to custom "Sculpt blends," he simplifies these cutting-edge treatments that are revolutionizing wellness. His parting wisdom for those struggling with health? "Start slow, just do something... start eliminating something bad and put something good in."Connect with Anthony through Body Symmetry MD's website or find him on Facebook to learn how you might transform your health or even join his mission as a licensee partner.Welcome to the ATLG podcast I am your host Ken Joslin, former pastor turned coach & host of CREATE, the #1 Faith-based Entrepreneur conference in America.

One of my favorite places in the world is the Coachella Valley. Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells. The valley is thriving as new residents move in, the are is mountainous and arid desert blended in an oasis of mixed architectural styles blended with cultural influence from music to fashion and everything in between. I love the Coachella Valley because as a teenager, I would go to Palm Springs for spring break. Something then mayor, Sonny Bono did not care fore and eventually drove us out. Then it was the architecture, followed by Coachella Music Festival combined with Stagecoach. La Quinta Resort remains my personal favorite place to recharge and reflect.

Jesus commands us not to judge one another, for we too will be judged. It is important to remember that holding someone accountable is not judgement, but the upholding of justice. Yet we must not judge others according to our own righteousness, but to God's grace.

Send us a textIn this episode we journey to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Palm Desert to have a conversation with two young Catholics on fire with the faith. Genevieve Knight is a 28 year old cradle Catholic born and raised in Rancho Mirage, CA. Though she came from a Catholic background, it was not until the age of 21, while in her third year of college, she experienced a ‘simple, yet deeply profound' encounter with Christ which changed the trajectory of her spiritual life forever. Genevieve shares her story with This Connected not only as a young adult on fire for the Truth, beauty, and goodness of the Catholic faith, but as one who seeks to be a witness to every person searching for the story God is constantly writing upon his and her heart.Brian Ruberg is a 22-year old adult convert to Catholicism. Born on Rowlett, Texas and raised in La Quinta, California, Brian was brought up as a Non-denominational Protestant Christian but saw little value in his religion despite never abandoning it. After a search for meaning and purpose through various outlets such as philosophy and the straight-edge punk movement, he became involved in the online political scene where he met many like-minded young men, many of whom were Catholic. Already experiencing gradual growth in Christ, he became curious and fascinated with the Church and its reverence and tradition, attending his first mass in Latin. Over the next three years, he began to grow in the faith and fall in love with the sacraments, eventually becoming fully initiated into the Catholic faith on December 21st, 2024. Brian now works with his parish's Young Adults Fellowship and maintains many friendships within the Church community and continues to grow and help other incoming Catholics grow their faith.Remember to like, subscribe, and recommend to a friend.

Listen in as host David Mandell welcomes orthopedic surgeon Dr. Patrick St. Pierre. Pat begins by sharing his background in the military, where he served in the infantry and as an airborne ranger pathfinder and eventually transitioned to medical school and a path in orthopedics. He then tells David about his decisions around the first job he took outside of the military on the east coast and his eventual move to Palm Desert, CA to a growing orthopedic practice there. The conversation then shifts to Pat's involvement with industry, including work on a Mako orthopedic robot for shoulder surgeries. He comments on the importance of physicians working with industry and gives advice to those thinking about doing so. David and Pat then discuss Pat's plan for retirement, which he has given a lot of thought to over the last decade after seeing colleagues struggle with life post-medical career. Pat is passionate about retiring TO something, not just FROM medicine. Pat explains his TO – is wine – and give insights on what he has been doing for some years to train and become certified as a master sommelier. The episode concludes with Pat giving some specific advice for colleagues on approaching retirement beyond medicine. KEY POINTS Dr. Pat St. Pierre's Background: A West Point graduate, he also completed his medical education at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences and has an extensive military medical career, including residencies and fellowships in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. Military Experience: Dr. St. Pierre initially served in the infantry, where he undertook demanding roles such as airborne ranger and pathfinder, before transitioning to medicine in the military. Motivation for Medicine: Inspired by personal experiences, including his mother's battle with heart disease, Dr. St. Pierre initially considered cardiology before shifting to orthopedics. Choosing Orthopedic Surgery: He found his passion for orthopedics and sports medicine through impactful rotations and mentorship during medical school. Transition to Civilian Practice: After 24 years of military service, his first civilian role in Virginia was driven by family considerations and proximity to his wife's ailing parents. Palm Desert Practice: Dr. St. Pierre joined Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center and has been practicing there for 17 years, playing a pivotal role in the growth of the practice. Sports Medicine Leadership: He became the lead physician for major sports events, including the BNP Paribas Tennis Open, and worked with junior colleges, high schools, and a professional hockey team. Financial Lessons for Young Physicians: He emphasized the importance of mentors, contract review, and considering regional factors like managed care and ancillary revenue streams when choosing a practice. Overhead Management: Dr. St. Pierre's group reduced their overhead by transitioning into a hospital-affiliated model, which improved financial efficiency. Industry Collaboration: He values physician involvement in medical device development and has contributed to innovations like the BioWick rotator cuff anchor and the Mako robotic shoulder replacement. Mako Robotic Shoulder Surgery: Dr. St. Pierre is part of a global team developing this cutting-edge technology, with FDA approval recently granted, signaling a transformative advance in shoulder surgery. Planning for Retirement: He advocates for retiring to something meaningful rather than simply retiring from medicine, sharing his personal journey of preparing for life after surgery. Passion for Wine: Dr. St. Pierre pursued a Master of Wine certification, a rigorous program blending science, viticulture, and business, becoming one of a select few in the world to achieve this level. Future Endeavors: He plans to continue contributing to wine education and management while staying engaged with the medical industry, ensuring a fulfilling post-retirement phase.
