My name is Macaulay Sutton.

My story begins with wanting to better myself, to wake up in the morning and be happy. The way I achieve happiness every morning begins a few years ago.

I am not ashamed to admit that I have suffered with addiction. Unresolved childhood trauma that was too painful to feel was constantly running in the background of my life. And instead of feeling it, facing it, and healing it, I chose to numb it all out, turning to excessive alcohol and drugs.

I wanted so badly to be sober I and not to have to rely on external substances to be happy. I longed for true, genuine internal peace.

From the age of 15 I have always understood the importance of physically training my body. Even through the addiction this was important to me, it was another coping mechanism, although it was a healthy one.  

I have pushed and tested the limits of my body and mind every day. This gave me release, somewhere to put my energy, and soothed my mental health. For that short amount of time each day, when it was just me against myself, I found comfort in the silence of my mind.

For the last decade I have trained in endurance running, body building, barefoot running, yoga, K1 kickboxing, and have participated in multiple extreme obstacle courses.

This training gave me a way to feel into my body and gave me a reason to get up every morning. I was searching for ways to overcome my pain and be happy, so that I could finally leave the drink and drugs behind.

Cue the Wim Hoff method, giving me the tools to be able to indefinitely take back control over my life. This was a game changer for me. Through the cold exposure, I could feel good without needing the consume anything, it was blissful. The method gave me the internal strength and power to face my addictions head on, and to face what I was hiding from. It allowed me to truly feel and understand my entire body and self. And for me to not be controlled by my depression.

For the first time ever, I was responding to life, instead of reacting. I was truly healing and was able to regulate my emotions. Feeling and honouring them when it was my choice to do so.

I no longer felt crippled with anxiety, stress doesn’t rule my life. And most importantly, I can show up for my loved ones, and be present with them so I never miss a moment. The inner peace I had longed for all those years was finally here.

I want to give and share this powerful method with others, I want to be of service to others and help them find this peace and happiness. Everyone is worthy and capable of it. Some just need showing the way, just as Wim Hof showed me the way.
