Stephen White is the founder of The PC, which sees 15,000 patients a week, is profitable, and is helping people find the purpose in their 4th quarter of life.
You’d never know that Steve previously had such severe cognition issues that he couldn’t remember the name of a rhinoceros when shown a picture.

After years of concussions from football and frequent seizures, leading to cognitive decline, Steve decided he needed to find a way to heal himself. He began a remarkable journey of studying medical information, learning about treatments, eventually creating a protocol for himself that included everything from activity, nutrition, various treatments, building community, and finding hope and purpose. His hard work paid off - he achieved a 70% gain in cognitive function.

Through The PC, he’s helping others live a life of health and purpose, so they can truly thrive in their “4th quarter” of life. Through personalized treatment plans, integrating medical care and building “Home Teams,” patients can “live on purpose,” which “leads to living with purpose.”

Don’t miss this inspirational story of healing, hope, and community.

A ThriveYear is an additional year of health span attained through optimized health, wellness, and purpose.
