Patricia Gallagher 0:00
We are ripped away from our families. We truly are. And if you talk to any of our parents, they will tell you we never come back as who we left. But I will tell you that the one thing the military does do, they break you down, all the way down, so that they can rebuild you. And so that self-respect that you have. Patricia Gallagher is a Marine Corps veteran, holistic health strategist, and pioneer in root cause wellness. Through her work, she empowers individuals to take control of their health, uncover hidden barriers to healing, and build lives rooted in resilience, vitality, and purpose. In front of you, 53, but my metabolic age is 26. You can age backwards. And that's why when I say I want to live to 120, I want to take as many individuals as I can.
Patricia Gallagher 0:38
I can't take a crippled. I can't take you with mental health issues. And I can't take you with baggage. So my goal is to build a team internationally that believes that at the very forefront of who we are is who we want to be.
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone.

I'm fantastic.
Ray Gutierrez 1:49
How are you, Ray? Fantastic. Thank you for asking. Quite an amazing energy. Love your ink. Love the shoes. Love, love the armor. Talk about what it is to have this armor. and what it's really protecting in the inside. We're going to go deep. First question out the gate.
Patricia Gallagher 2:03
Yeah, well, I mean, if you're talking about protecting what's in the inside, we're about to uncover all of that. Right on. Right?

How did military service transform Patricia's identity and purpose?

Patricia Gallagher 2:11
I've got a very thick armor, for sure, as most military individuals do. But I hold myself to a much higher standard being a female in the Marine Corps. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Marines are not developed. They are born. So it's something within our fabric of ourselves. Black and red. Red standing for the bloodshed. And black, we operate under the cover of darkness. Right on. That is why red and black.
Ray Gutierrez 2:36
There's always like, you know, you watch movies like Excalibur and King Arthur and it's like all these big fantasy movies like Marvel, but they're really celebrating folks like you. And I always love having conversations that folks that have served or are serving or are veterans because... They're designed in such a way or born into a life of service. And it's not just a pew-pew-pew service. It's the divine service where there's a connection of what's really happening in the war that we call. But there's much more going on there. Would you like to talk about that spiritual warfare and what you really see in human psychology when it comes to it?
Patricia Gallagher 3:15
Absolutely. And so most of your military recruits are coming from areas of trauma, lack of being, lack of connection. And I think all of us kind of enlist looking for that connection. And as it pertains to Marines and the Marine Corps, if we don't follow orders, people die. But we take a lot of that into our fabric as who we are.
Ray Gutierrez 3:45
Yes, ma'am.
Patricia Gallagher 3:46
And it never leaves us. So even as you transform out of military into civilian, that Marine Corps mentality never leaves you and that grit and that ability to stay alive in the areas that are not meant for survival. Correct. They help you steadfast in many avenues. entrepreneurship being one, parenting as being another, transforming and learning a lot about yourself in that process because we are ripped away from our families. We truly are. And if you talk to any of our parents, they will tell you we never come back as who we left. Wow. And that bond is broken, but it is solidified in something greater, a larger family, a family of choice, not necessarily a family of origin.
