Martin Pytela (rhymes with patella) became a health coach

after overcoming serious health challenges.

Many great healers have their own hero-journey stories of overcoming difficult and often life-altering challenges. Martin's health was dramatically altered for the worse when, at age 25, he received 12 mercury amalgam fillings. 

Determined to reclaim his well-being, Martin embarked on an arduous yet enlightening path of self-discovery. For ten years, he immersed himself in a wealth of knowledge, reading thousands of pages of literature and reports (before the internet) in pursuit of holistic healing. Armed with newfound insights and fueled by a relentless spirit, he invested over a hundred thousand dollars into his journey toward restoration. 

As the founder of Life Enthusiast, Martin is dedicated to providing natural remedies for degenerative health issues. His passion for natural healing empowers individuals to reverse chronic diseases and reclaim their well-being.

Today, Martin’s legacy helps people discover how genetics and lifestyle intersect to create either illness or health. His steadfast commitment to healing, deep empathy, and tireless dedication serve as a beacon of inspiration for those navigating their journey toward vibrant health and vitality.
