Summary

What if the worst thing that ever happened to you was actually the thing that was always meant to find you? JP Francia almost drowned in his own bed from acid reflux. After a decade of failed medications and sleepless nights a simple remedy from his grandma changed everything. What followed is one of the most unlikely and inspiring entrepreneurial journeys you will ever hear. We get into gut health, blood sugar, the lies we have been told about medicine, and why your body always knows the truth before your mind does.

JP Francia is a serial entrepreneur who has built many successful businesses across multiple industries during his decorated career. His unique variety of success involves a dizzying professional journey spanning from commercial pilot instructor to children’s TV executive producer, and advertising agency executive to chain restauranteur. Now, after a near-death experience with acid reflux, he is the founder of Life Cider, a CPG beverage brand built on the cure that changed his life: apple cider vinegar.
