This man right here. There’s so much I could say about Jamey Heath, but if you’ve ever had the honor of meeting him, you already know—he’s bigger than words. Jamey has seen me at my lowest. He’s been there to calm me down and pray over me at 3 AM after a panic attack. He’s picked me up off the floor when I felt broken and beaten and reminded me of my nobility, my worth. If you’ve seen It Ends With Us, what you may not know is that this man is the reason you saw it. He was my right hand, my producing partner, and my anchor. He’s the one who kept me going, who always reminded me of my WHY when the winds got strong and I felt like I wasn’t enough. Every day, Jamey teaches me what it means to be a good man, a good human, and a Bahá’í. He leads with integrity, honesty, and authenticity. He holds more room in his heart for forgiveness than anyone I’ve ever met. And his relentless drive to become a better version of himself inspires everyone around him to do the same. He’s an incredible husband, father and GRANDPA, and he’s taught me how to be a better dad just by watching him. But more than anything, what a I admire about Jamey is that no matter what life throws at him, his default setting is JOY. That joy is infectious, transformative, and a gift to everyone lucky enough to know him. And thanks to him, I’ve been finding more and more of my own joy. Jamey lives by this quote: “Joy gives us wings. In times of joy, our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness.” – ‘Abdu’l-Bahá I wish everyone had a Jamey in their life. I love you, brother. Happy 55th, Grandpa. You’re officially ancient. Eat shit.

I first met @Gabbie Warrior Queen back in 2020, and I was in absolute awe of her. No matter what life threw at her or how much suffering she endured, her faith was unwavering, and her joy was contagious. I was also blown away by the love she shared with her amazing husband, Frank. What a love story! Frank was by her side every moment, loving her unconditionally. Frank never left her side, never wavered. He is the definition of what being “man enough” looks like—someone who I aspire to be. Their love story is a guiding light, showing what’s possible when we believe in something greater than ourselves. Gabbie loved everyone, and her smile and laugh lit up any room. It’s warriors like Gabbie and Frank who keep me going, and who remind me why I do this work. As Gabbie’s health declined, we were able to host her and her husband for the premiere of It Ends With Us. Her doctors said she was crazy to go, but nothing was going to stop her. While she may have thought she was being given a gift that night, what she didn’t know was that she was the one giving us the gift of her presence. The glitz and glamour of premieres often overshadow the reason films get made in the first place. But Gabbie gave us the gift of perspective—a reminder of how fleeting all of this is. And that the only thing that really matters is love and the people we share it with. She was the highlight of all of our night. As we talked, she told me she had just gotten hard news regarding her health but was refusing to give up and was grateful for every moment God gave her. Luckily, one of my best friends—and her favorite artist—@andygrammer was with us. We all got to sing her favorite song to her. I’ve had a lot of beautiful moments in my life and career, but holding her hand in that moment will forever be one of my favorites. This week, God called Gabbie back home. Our hearts go out to her entire family, especially Frank. She is an angel who will be deeply missed.

My Doctor said it wasn’t possible. Here’s how I healed a grade 3-4 torn calf in less than six weeks. I understand most don’t have access to the below, but one thing that helped me heal more than anything else is something we all have access to. Aside from peptides and all the gadgets, my secret to healing injuries are daily affirmations and actually believing my body is healing itself rapidly. I write it down and I say it out loud. Here’s everything else I did: • Exosome and peptide injections from @Jonathann Kuo MD to help the muscle naturally heal itself Peptide protocol: BPC 157 Tb500 GHK-Cu Thymosin Alpha 1 • I ditched crutches as soon as possible. While I didn’t want to stretch the tear, loading it as early as possible was critical. • I never stopped moving and training supporting muscle groups (shout out to my trainer @mindset4movement for the great camera work) • Kaatsu bands (BFR bands) help to restrict blood flow, simulate high intensity exercise with low load, and increases circulation and healing. • PowerMedic laser to help increase production of ATP in the cell. Helps to reduce inflammation, increases circulation and helps with pain. • Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to induce muscle contractions and promote blood flow- I used @compex usa • Acupuncture from my friend and healer Dr. Patti @patricialeatlac to help clear my energetic channels and reduce inflammation • Mudras recovery cream infused with CBD from @Mudras Massage • Normatec compression boots to increase blood flow and circulation and reduce swelling • @Power Plate helped to recruit all muscle fibers in an active stretch and load • shock wave technology to break up the scar tissue and stimulate the natural self-healing effects in the body Note: I just love science and gadgets. I’m not an owner or paid by any of these companies 👊 #injuryrecovery #musclerecovery #trainingprogram
