PRESENTATION: Nutrient Density is Heart Smart

BIO: Struggling with weight was a lifelong challenge for this accomplished cardiac surgeon, beginning in childhood and continuing through medical school and into adulthood. Despite following USDA guidelines and embracing a household focused on low-fat foods, margarine, diet soda, and regular exercise, the battle with excess weight persisted.

A pivotal change came at the age of 40. Years of yo-yo dieting and weight struggles culminated in a life-altering discovery. Poor metabolic health, fueled by processed foods engineered to promote overeating, was at the heart of chronic weight issues and many other health problems. Coupled with a healthcare system that often treats symptoms rather than addressing root causes, these factors highlighted the need for a paradigm shift in health and nutrition.

In 2015, everything changed when the surgeon’s wife, suffering from severe heartburn, decided to avoid gluten. In an effort to support her, this journey toward a healthier lifestyle began. The results were remarkable: increased energy, reduced cravings, effortless weight loss, and improved mental clarity. By adopting an animal-based diet with minimal carbohydrates, 100 pounds were lost and kept off, achieving a level of physical fitness and mental sharpness never experienced before.

Today, this dedicated health advocate is on a mission to help others break free from the cycle of poor metabolic health. By focusing on addressing root causes and fostering a healthier relationship with food, they empower individuals to achieve optimal health and avoid the struggles of chronic disease and weight management.

This transformative story serves as a powerful testament to the benefits of adopting a metabolic-focused, low-carbohydrate lifestyle to unlock long-term health and wellness.

PRESENTATION: The Ancient Secrets and Modern Science of Breath

BIO: William Travis Steffens is a real estate investor, breathwork facilitator, and pioneer of Conscious Capitalism with a mission to heal communities and empower individuals from the inside out.

Raised on a cattle ranch in rural Colorado and homeschooled to support the family’s land, William’s early life was deeply rooted in nature, hard work, and self-reliance—much like the lifestyle depicted in Yellowstone, minus the drama. By age 16, he had already caught the real estate bug, borrowing money from his “rich dad” to flip property with his “poor dad,” in a real-life version of Rich Dad Poor Dad.

He launched his first business at 18 and married by 20, building a successful career through hundreds of real estate transactions. But it was personal crisis—divorce and a deep desire for meaning—that led him to breathwork and a new path: integrating personal healing with purpose-driven business.

As founder of a national real estate investment company, William became a leader in the Conscious Capitalism movement, developing innovative programs that combined breathwork, biology-based healing, and real estate renovation to support homeless veterans. His groundbreaking work earned him national recognition, including an invitation to the State of the Union Address by the President of the United States.

Today, William brings his full-spectrum wisdom to the world—bridging real estate, healing, and personal transformation. His message is clear: You have the power to become the grandest version of your Self, align with your purpose, and invest in a better world through Conscious Capitalism.
