In this deeply personal and raw episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with Bethany’s brother, Timmy Hamilton, to share the story that nearly broke their family. Once a fearless wave charger and devoted dad, Timmy found himself wasting away—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—due to a misdiagnosed chronic illness and a downward health spiral that almost took his life.
From losing the ability to surf or walk normally to feeling like death was moments away, Timmy opens up about his journey through misdiagnosis, battling Type 1 diabetes and dysautonomia, and finally finding hope and healing through advanced regenerative therapies at the Cellular Performance Institute.
This is a story of grit, grace, and God’s mercy—where deep suffering met unshakable faith and the love of family. If you or someone you love is facing a health battle, this episode offers both encouragement and hard-won wisdom.
