Well, it had a profound impact. They say you become like the people you surround yourself with the most. And of course, our parents, our grandparents, our pastors, teachers, coaches. I mean, these people in the early stages of our life have a massive impact. In fact, I'm working as a functional medicine practitioner and somebody also that focuses a lot on spiritual health and wellness.

One of the things that I've discovered is that it's even my patients that dealt with medical health issues are a lot of those issues actually affect their health later on in life. It could be their mental health. It could be their physical health due to worry, anxiety, fear. But a lot of that happens early on in life.

And I can remember my grandfather told me very early on that life is about this, right? So I don't know for a lot of people that, somebody tells them, this is what life is about. So my grandfather told me very early on, listen, life is about becoming a certain type of person. Life is about adding value to others. Life is not just about plays that I want you to play.

You want to have fun, but life is about relationship. Life is about advancing the kingdom of God, building a relationship with God and serving other people, making their lives better. And so having him instill that in me, that message early on, was so powerful and transformative.

And even though I don't know that I fully understood at the time, as he continued to repeat it over time, it became part of who I was. And so, yeah, and I was really blessed to have both parents and including my dad and my grandfather that really sewed into me. And one of the things that I found for a lot of people is they haven't had those people.

Somebody might have grown up without a dad or they had a dad that wasn't a virtuous, disciplined person that was sewing into them, or maybe they never had a grandfather. who is that sort of person in their life. And so it's really important that people go out and find those mentors then that play that grandfather and that fatherlike role that can help them develop and grow.

Because the way that we most grow in our lives is through modeling. It's discipleship, it's mentorship. And I hear from people all the time when I'm teaching lectures and workshops, people come up to me and say, Dr. Axe, I want to find a mentor.

I don't have one because it's something I recommend often because I'll tell people that one of the greatest things that have transformed my life and helped me personally grow is having mentors and people that sewed into me. And I'm always looking to do that to others.
