Welcome to the ENERGY Formula!
Â
My name is Shawn Wells. I'm the mind behind 100s patents of energy-optimizing ingredients and the formulator of more than a thousand unique products. But my journey to becoming the world's greatest formulator hasn’t been a straightforward path.
ORIGIN & ADVERSITY
Â
I faced adversities—bullying, weight struggles, divorce, bankrupt businesses and numerous mental health challenges, from anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. I have almost died multiple times from severe health issues. But from those depths, I emerged with a burning desire for change. I became my own experiment, unaware that my discoveries would resonate globally, healing others along the way. My vulnerability and transparency became my signature and allowed others to connect to my story and for me to learn theirs.
Â
But it wasn't always that way for me. For most of my life, emotionally I was still the fat kid with acne, crying from the bullying, my brothers running away, struggling to pay attention, being laughed at by girls that I wanted to go out on a date with, being laughed at when I wanted to play sports with the athletic boys. Teachers called me "fat boy" and made fun of me. Seriously, I wanted to kill myself. And moving forward seemed impossible when I wanted to end the pain. Then with that pain, I had an autoimmune shutdown with Epstein-Barr, fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's, chronic fatigue, and could not get out of bed for six months. I fought anorexia and lost 150 pounds. I had brain tumors, 15 surgeries including my neck, knees, and hip. My grindset, self-loathing, insecurity and emotional and spiritual pain was playing out in all of these health issues.
Â
I was falling apart, both physically and mentally.
SNAPSHOT OF EXPERTISE
Â
I've made my career in the health and fitness world - I am a recognized dietitian, sports nutritionist, biochemist, and supplement formulator with over 40 patented ingredients and 1000+ unique products to my name. I've built myself into what people have dubbed the "world's greatest formulator."
WHY I HAVE AUTHORITY TO TEACH THIS
Â
So if I have any authority to speak on health, performance and energy, it's not just because of my academic or professional certifications or the ingredients and supplements I've created. It's because I know firsthand the difference between what's true and what's not in this industry. I believed many of the same lies and empty promises that so many people still buy into because I bought into them as well.
My experience taught me that having more energy and optimizing your health isn't just about taking the right supplements or following the trendiest diet. It's about looking inward and becoming the best version of yourself from the inside-out.
