Things

You were made for more

Do you remember feeling accomplished in school or sports?
Now, you're craving the results but resisting the work.

Do you feel disappointed when you see yourself in the mirror after a shower? Have you promised yourself to eat healthier or exercise, but failed to follow through?

At MWOD, we believe that you are capable of achieving more. Our process has helped hundreds of men and women transform their lives. They say things like "My friends freak out at how much my body has changed!" and "I've never been more alive!" This can be your reality too. Take the first step and make the decision to transform your life with MWOD.

Embrace

Discomfort

When MWODs choose discomfort rather than wait for discomfort to choose them, they gain a superpower. They don't live in dread. They live in freedom... strong and awake, for love's sake.

How Credo Works

CREDO is our operating system for doing hard things. Each letter represents distinct stages of transformation. Once you learn them, you'll see them everywhere in life. Once you choose them, your life will change forever.

Discover Credo
01.

COMMIT

The start of any serious change begins with saying yes to the thing you know will be uncomfortable. It can't be forced. The voluntary choice to commit is step one.

02.

RELEASE

But committing isn't the real starting line. Action is required. Nothing significant shifts until you don't feel like keeping your commitment, and you do it anyway. You release on your preferences. You wave the white flag of surrender and do the thing.

03.

EMBRACE

When you take action, it's not enough to check the box. It must be wholehearted. By embracing what's difficult with all you've got, you create the necessary conditions for real transformation to take place.

04.

DEFINE

When you voluntarily embrace discomfort, you discover what you're capable of. It's here that you define who it is you aspire to become. Naming that identity with phrases like, "I'm the kind of person who..." brings clarity and definition.

05.

OWN

With your identity defined, you'll naturally own it with your actions. This new sense of self gives you your marching orders. As you commit, you begin the CREDO infinity loop again, leveling up to a more true sense of who you were always meant to be.

What to expect

Embracing voluntary discomfort prepares us for the inevitable and involuntary discomforts that life brings. Creating this lifestyle in isolation is possible, but it just doesn't happen very often. It's also not that fun.

When you do it in community, though, you're far more likely to give your whole heart to it. This communal approach gives you your best shot at long-term, sustainable success.

Nutrition

We simplify the process of what to eat. This constraint makes eating uncomplicated and straightforward.

Hydration

Everyone at MWOD commits to a minimum of 96 ozs of water consumption each day.

Sleep

Sleep is the immovable object in every MWOD's life. We commit to a minimum of 7 hours per night.

Nervous system

We help you reset your nervous system through intermittent fasting, cold exposure and breath work.

Working out & sport

We workout six times per week. Every workout scales to exactly where you're at with your fitness.

Community & Accountability

Accountability is unforced and natural when you choose to do difficult things together in community.  

Habits

Each week we add a new habit to your practice, ratcheting up what you used to think was possible.

Awareness

You'll be invited to slow down and notice who you've been and who you'd like to become.

Love

We do all this to become strong and awake for love's sake. Love, it turns out, is the most powerful motivator there is.

Proof it works

At MWOD, we believe the only metric that matters is whether or not the program works. More specifically, will it work for you? That's why efficacy is the main thing we obsess about. That's why when we get real testimonials like the one's below, we are are not only encouraged but spurred on to share MWOD with more people around the world.
