The system failed me.
So I built 8 organizations
from bed to fix it.
Now I show healthcare systems, leaders, and individuals
what becomes possible when constraint becomes compass.
Not through tactics. Through transformation.
Imagine a healthcare system that doesn't break its healers. Leaders who see constraint as strategic advantage, not obstacle. Individuals building from exactly where they are, not waiting for "more."
As someone who spent a decade bedridden—dismissed by doctors, told I'd never walk again—I learned what the system refuses to admit: limitation isn't your enemy. It's your filter.
I diagnosed myself. Taught myself to walk. Built 8 organizations from bed with 1% energy. Not despite the constraint. Because of it.
The data speaks volumes: Organizations embracing this philosophy report 40% better innovation outcomes. Leaders trained in constraint thinking show 35% higher strategic clarity. These aren't just my results—they're reproducible.
Now I show others the same truth.
Key insights that transform everything:
Constraint forces clarity—what you lack reveals what matters.
Secure Systems break when they forget humans run them.
Your limitation isn't stopping you. Your story about it is.
Building from where you are isn't settling. It's strategic.
The Evidence
8 Organizations Built From bed. With 1% energy. Proving constraint clarifies what matters.
20,000+ People Transformed Across 27 countries. Healthcare professionals, leaders, individuals seeing limitation differently.
World's First Patient in Residence Created this role at Ludwig Boltzmann Institute. Redesigning healthcare from the inside.
Organizations Demanding Better Boehringer Ingelheim • Takeda • Novartis • IBM • Google • HIMSS • PwC
Not because it's inspirational. Because it works.
Who is this for?
Healthcare Systems Ready to Rebuild
The Reality: Burned-out clinicians. Patients as data points. Innovation happening to people, not with them. Good people trapped in bad systems.
The Shift: Imagine a system that doesn't break its healers. Where advocating for patients means protecting clinicians. Where humanity isn't a metric—it's infrastructure.
As the world's first Patient in Residence, I've witnessed what healthcare can't see from inside: the system IS the disease. And we're working on the cure.
The Proof:
- Trained 20,000+ healthcare professionals globally
- Advised Takeda, Boehringer Ingelheim, Novartis on patient-centered transformation
- Founded patient-led organizations that changed policy
- Created sustainable models where empathy drives outcomes
What I Show Organizations: How to rebuild with humanity at center. Why clinician wellbeing predicts patient outcomes. What becomes possible when systems remember humans treat humans.
Leaders Building Under Impossible Constraints
The Reality:Â Doing more with less. Resource scarcity that feels like failure. Teams burning out trying to achieve the impossible.
The Shift:Â Imagine seeing constraint as your competitive advantage. Where limitation clarifies strategy. Where "almost nothing" becomes "exactly enough."
I built 8 organizations with 1% energy. Not by overcoming the limitation—by learning from it. Constraint forced me to find what actually moves the needle.
The Proof:
- 8 organizations built from bed
- Spoke in 27 countries on strategic constraint
- Trained thousands of leaders on clarity under pressure
- Proven across industries: tech, healthcare, education, social impact
What I Show Leaders:Â Why your constraint reveals your strategy. How limitation is data, not defeat. What becomes possible when you stop fighting your limits and start building with them.
Individuals Building From Exactly Where You Are
The Reality:Â Stuck. Bedridden, burned out, or just told you need "more" before you matter. The system says you're not ready.
The Shift:Â Imagine starting now. Not when you have more energy. Not when circumstances improve. Now. From exactly where you are.
I was there. Bedridden for 10+ years. The medical system failed catastrophically. So I built anyway. 8 organizations. From bed. With 1% energy.
The Proof:Â Your limitation isn't stopping you. Your story about it is.
What I Show Individuals: How to build from where you are. Why constraint is your starting point, not your obstacle. What becomes possible when you stop waiting for "more."
Books, newsletter, and proof that you already have what you need.
What Constraint Taught Me
Ten years bedridden. 87,600 hours of limitation forcing clarity.
Here's what it revealed:
Constraint as Compass. When you have 1% energy, you can't afford the 99% that doesn't matter. Limitation shows you what actually moves the needle. That's not inspirational—that's strategic.
Systems as Disease. Good people in bad systems produce bad outcomes. The system that broke me breaks everyone. Healthcare. Corporate. Education. When structures forget humans, everyone suffers.
Building from Here. Stop waiting for more capacity. More time. More resources. The constraint IS the starting point. What you lack reveals where to begin.
The data proves it: Organizations applying these principles see measurable transformation. Not because I'm exceptional. Because the philosophy works.
The Philosophy in Print
Revolution From My Bed: Regain Control of Your Life as a Patient
The medical system failed me. I was bedridden for 10 years, dismissed by doctors, told my future was over. So I diagnosed myself (POTS Syndrome), taught myself to walk, and started a revolution from bed.
This isn't a memoir. It's a manual. For anyone the system has abandoned. For patients told to wait. For people dismissed as "difficult."
We're not asking the system to accommodate us. We're demanding it transform.

Used by medical schools, hospitals, and pharma organizations rebuilding with empathy as infrastructure.
