S4 Ep09: Life Interrupted: Facing Cancer at 24

In 2016, Matt was a 185lb, health conscious, personal trainer. He had just met his future fiancé and was filled with hopes and dreams for a great future. However, his life was suddenly interrupted by a devastating diagnosis of stage 3-C testicular cancer.

Matt would undergo chemotherapy and a series of five major surgeries due to complications of his cancer. His disease and treatments took a tremendous toll on his body, reducing his weight to 110lbs in eight months. This situation rocked him to the core.

Today, Matt is healthy, energetic and enthusiastic about life. He is now a transformation coach and a sought after speaker who uses his experience and victories in his fight against cancer to help others transform their mind, body and spirit and to live their lives with purpose. 

This is Matt’s story.
