I’m no doctor. I’m a person healing from CPTSD—complex post-traumatic stress disorder—from a life full of grief, rage, abandonment, and deep trauma.

After years of seeing doctors, experts, gurus, and coaches—and spending thousands of dollars—I kept ending up on paths that went nowhere. It wasn’t just what they were saying. It was what they weren’t saying! Maybe they didn’t know. Maybe they were afraid of being sued.

Either way, I had to figure out how to heal myself.

Healing has felt like carrying three one-ton boulders down a steep hill. But I’m doing it. It’s taken years to pull together all the parts of me—mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and energetic—and work on healing them. It’s still a work in progress.

If you decide to heal yourself and take your body back from the experts—and your life back from the pain—

I hope Keep on Livin becomes a place where you find answers. In a voice you trust. In words you understand. No medical dictionary required.

David-

Life didn’t come with instructions. Or did it? The first humans couldn’t read, but life still had a way of showing us how to care for our bodies. Somewhere along the way—especially as the Western world spread its influence—we drifted from the basics.

The human body may seem complex, but nature still offers a simple, grounded way to keep us well.

There’s nothing flashy or brand-new here. Body Basics is just my way of sharing what nature has always instinctively provided—and what modern medicine is finally beginning to acknowledge.

When I was deep in my own healing, I realized that the “basics” were just as important as all the other tools and practices I was reaching for. This custom kit includes the foundational things I come back to, month after month.

They help me stay rooted in health. They help me Keep on Livin’.

Coming Soon...

If you lay down your fears and begin your healing journey. I promise you, you’ll learn so much about yourself, your life, the world, people, living and how your mind and body truly work. Once you go through it. You’ll feel so alive! dk

I hate to admit it… but my wife Maggie played a huge role in my healing journey. 

Yeah, we went to war. She launched retaliation missiles just like I did. But before all that, she tried everything she could to wake me up. I was angry, traumatized, grieving—and I didn’t even know it. Every time she’d gently say, “Babe… you’re so angry,” I’d snap back, “Yeah, because of YOU!”

Before we met, Maggie had already spent five years doing deep healing work—digging into her childhood pain and anger. Workshops, courses, meditation, breath work, books—you name it. She’s also a gifted abstract artist, and at the time, she was in a beautiful, peaceful space.

Then I came along 😡

I’ll never forget walking into her NYC apartment and feeling calm like I’d never felt before. That was her energy.

Fast forward through our twenty-year war… and we both realized the truth: I needed to wake up—and Maggie still had some healing of her own to do.

Now, I’ve found my way to inner peace, and she’s found her way to lasting happiness. I’ve watched her choose joy, even when life gave her no reason to smile. I’m proud of her—and more than anything, I’m happy for her.

Maggie’s new podcast, Defiantly Happy, is the result of decades of healing, learning, and real-life experience. 

In each episode, she shares her story, her tools, and how she learned to create happiness from the inside out.

You’ll laugh, cry, and maybe even begin your own healing journey.

Check out Defiantly Happy—and see what it really means to choose joy anyway.🕊️
