Mentor Sessions Ep. 037: Michael Morelli on Rock Bottom Addiction Recovery, Building a Bitcoin-Powered Fitness Empire, Parallels to Sound Money & Radical LongevityMichael Morelli's Bitcoin journey mirrors his brutal addiction recovery: from high more than sober for a decade, snorting oxycodone amid bankruptcy and affairs, to a 113-day shred from 25% to 8% body fat—bootstrapping FitScript into a multimillion-dollar data-driven health empire coaching 600+ men with peak biomarkers while stacking BTC as a maxi since 2020. Inspired by Saifedean Ammous' "The Bitcoin Standard," Morelli draws logical parallels between paleo nutrition's ancestral simplicity and Bitcoin's finite, sound money—why it's the only asset that "just seems logical" in a fiat-fueled health and wealth disparity crisis. In this BTC Sessions interview, he busts carnivore myths (labs "fucking wrecked"), unpacks peptides for faster gains, red light therapy hacks, and his no-excuses mantra: if a coke-addicted bankrupt can rebuild to live until 150, stacking sats with low-time preference, Bitcoiners have zero excuses for subpar health. Topics:Brutal rock bottom: Addiction, abuse & what led there113-day rebirth: Fatherhood spark & no-excuses mindsetBootstrapping empire: Mom's basement to millionsFitness myths busted: Carnivore dangers & paleo logicBitcoin awakening: Shitcoins to maxi via SaifedeanHealth-money parallels: Disparity extremes & white coat trapsActionable optimization: Low-hanging fruit for BTC stackersPeptides decoded: Mechanisms for faster recoveryRed light therapy: Mitochondria boost & hair regrowthEntrepreneurship grit: Fuck Aging brand & mindset masteryChapters:00:00 Teaser & Intro01:24 Background & Journey02:09 Addiction & Rock Bottom04:42 No Excuses06:10 Abuse & Roots13:04 Fitness & Control16:34 Empire Collapse19:03 Biz Success23:42 Myths & Paleo26:13 Lab & FitScript31:05 BTC Parallels & Journey33:06 Disparities & Pharma38:50 Actionable Tips43:07 Longevity & Alpha47:53 Peptides & Red Light1:02:45 Outro & DiscountAbout Michael MorelliPerformance health engineer, founder FitScript.

Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨Hannah and Jabez represent opposite ends of our spiritual journey. Hannah prayed from rock bottom—barren, misunderstood, and in deep anguish.

Jabez approached God with holy audacity. And scripture simply states: "God granted his request." This mic-drop moment confirms Heaven moves in response to our prayers.What makes these prayers so powerful is their complementary nature—together they give us a complete blueprint for approaching God in every season. Whether you're in a Hannah season or a Jabez season, this episode will equip you with biblical language for your deepest needs.Discover how these ancient prayers can become your own, and watch how God transforms both your mindset and your circumstances.

For anyone sober curious or identifies more as a binge drinker rather than an alcoholic - this episode is for you! Most people think rock bottom is dramatic — losing everything, waking up in a hospital, or worse. But what if it's quieter? What if it's your partner saying, “I can't do this anymore”? This week, I'm joined by Henry Beercock, who spent 17 years stuck in a cycle of binge drinking, binge eating, smoking, vaping and unhealthy habits before one moment changed everything. In just two years, he's lost seven stone, gone vegan, and built an inspiring alcohol-free community in Hull called Alco-Hull-Free. He's now brewing his own alcohol-free beer and proving that life without alcohol isn't dull — it's full of purpose, joy and real connection.In this episode, we explore what binge drinking really looks like in the UK, why so many people quietly hit their limit during lockdown, and the truth about sober curiosity. Henry opens up about the moment he nearly lost his marriage, how he rebuilt his health and identity, and why alcohol-free beer became part of his mission.We talk about what kind of people go sober, what Henry might have lost if he didn't stop, why alcohol-free beer matters — and whether it's safe for people in recovery from alcohol use disorder. We also discuss how long it really takes to feel better after quitting drinking, whether the UK has a national drinking problem, sober holidays, why binge drinkers quit even without a “classic” rock bottom, and how to start if you're sober curious!This conversation will change the way you think about drinking, connection, and what it means to really live.Oliver is an ambassador for Alcohol Change UK and you can access support here - https://tinyurl.com/5dt5773eThank you to Gavin Sisters for sponsoring this episode!

Antoinette Lee relied on a walker, service dog, and full-time caregiver, having previously managed her parents' care before their passing. She wished she'd known more about treatment options to better advocate for them—and for herself. Facing her fifth surgery, with failing organs and no clear path to recovery despite excellent insurance, she hit rock bottom. Unable to eat or drink for five weeks, she said goodbye to her service dog, Phoebe, preparing for the end. Today, she is a sponsored adventure sportswoman, writer, and motivational speaker, having traded her walker for a life of joy. Phoebe, her service dog, is now a semi-retired pet.

The Bottle Almost Took Everything with Kristine Koontz | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this raw and deeply emotional episode, Kristine Koontz shares her courageous journey through chaos, addiction, loss, and redemption with an honesty that grips you from the start. Growing up amid abuse, instability, and emotional neglect, Kristine found her first escape in alcohol at just thirteen years old — a drink that made her feel “normal” for the first time. What began as weekend partying spiraled into decades of dependency, self-destruction, and denial, even as she built a life as a wife, mother of three, and businesswoman. She opens up about the toll of her drinking: the crumbling of her marriage, the affair that shattered her family, and the painful moment her children turned away in shame. As her addiction deepened, Kristine describes hitting rock bottom — alone in her condo, shaking, suicidal, and drinking herself toward death until her ex-husband found her and rushed her to the hospital. Through multiple relapses and painful realizations, she finally surrendered, walking into an AA meeting that changed everything. Her transformation is one of faith, humility, and rebirth — a testament to the 9% of addicts who make it out alive. Today, Kristine speaks with radiant gratitude and strength, using her story to help others break free from the shame, secrecy, and isolation of addiction. Her message is clear and powerful: you can come back from anything if you let God, grace, and truth lead the way.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In this powerful episode Reg Platt sits down in studio with Abby Johnson to tell a life story that's equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful. He recounts his descent into heavy drinking and cocaine use, the guilt and shame after an abortion in 1976, a suicide attempt, experiments with black magic, and ultimately a dramatic spiritual turnaround that led to decades of marriage and pro-life ministry. Along the way Reg reflects on how men are often overlooked in post-abortion healing, why “supporting her choice” can be a cop-out, and how programs like Rachel's Vineyard and Project Joseph helped him find real restoration. Honest, vulnerable, and at times uncomfortable — this episode lifts the lid on topics men rarely discuss in public.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter

The Steelers lost to the Packers at Acrisure last night. Is this rock bottom for the Steelers defense? They have the highest paid defense in the NFL and one of the worst stat lines. Tucker Kraft walked all over the Steelers defense who is now even more shorthanded with the loss of DeShon Elliott. Once again people are asking, is it time for a change on defense and at the head coaching position?
