We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful McKenzie Englund. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with McKenzie below.
Alright, McKenzie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.
Certainly! My career took a remarkable turn last year when I connected with a neuroscientist out of the university of Minnesota for a podcast interview. What I thought would be a 15 minute long pitch to come onto my show turned into 5 hours of deep life and science discussions. He was profoundly impressed with my ability to bridge the worlds of science and everyday life while integrating metaphysical principles to facilitate deep personal transformations with my clients – what I call “metamorphosis.” Together, we developed a synthesis of theories illustrating the potential of mastering one’s internal world and living a life of understanding, intention, dedication, and meaning, with my work at the foundation.
Shortly thereafter, I received a call from my dear friend Ocean Ibok, a master body healer to many executives and athletes, including Jake Paul. Ocean wanted to hire and train me as a longevity specialist on his team. During our training, I shared my plans for an upcoming retreat, and he was immediately captivated. Understanding the importance of holistic medicine’s three pillars – mind, body, and spirit – I invited him to feature his age-reversal protocol and bodywork with our guests, to which he enthusiastically agreed.
The story gets even better. Weeks later, Ocean discussed our retreat plans with Dr. Luis Martinez, a well known celebrity regenerative medicine doctor who has 4 clinics across PR and FL. Dr. Martinez was impressed with the retreat and inquired if we had considered ketamine therapy as a novel way to enhance our guest’s experience. He elaborated on how ketamine therapy aids in healing, expanding neuroplasticity, and promoting longevity.
After extensive research and deliberation, our team welcomed Dr. Martinez and his team to administer ketamine therapy along with anti-aging peptides to all retreat participants. In less than two months, my Metamorphosis coaching program evolved into an innovative collaboration, resulting in the creation of a new Ketamine Therapy Protocol: Ketamine Assisted Rapid Transformation Therapy (KARTT). This protocol is now exclusively available at our in-person retreats.
For those interested in our Edenic-Cognitive Reprogramming and Longevity retreat, featuring our custom KARTT protocol, please visit our website at edenicretreats.com.
Next Retreat- August 24-30th 2024. We would love to see you apply.
McKenzie, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Of course! I began my journey into executive transformation coaching with an initial pursuit of medicine. Growing up in a small town in Wisconsin, I always aspired to become a doctor. However, the deeper I ventured into the field, the more I felt disconnected from mainstream Western medicine. While living in Jersey City, preparing for my MCAT and applying to medical schools, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, prompting me to reevaluate my path and ultimately leave the industry.
Over the next two years, I leveraged natural phenomena like neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation, combined with modern-day habits and rituals, to help traders and investors enhance their market performance with a FinTech company based out of Dubai. This pivot opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities, empowering me to leave my highly successful business to travel solo and launch my coaching business, Modern MonarcK.
Modern MonarcK is an internal journey towards your highest self. By utilizing various health sciences, I have been transforming lives, closing performance gaps, and elevating consciousness and self-concepts for high-performing individuals for over two years now.
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
I met Ocean at a mutual friend’s birthday party last year in Puerto Rico, and we instantly clicked. His innovative approach to life and dedication to serving others is truly inspiring. I met Dr. Dunbar, the neuroscientist, during my undergraduate psychology and neuropsychology courses. We collaborated on student-directed studies and research, maintaining our connection over the years. I feel incredibly blessed to have these two brilliant minds on my team.
Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
Success in this field often hinges on the ability to rapidly act on good ideas. The first business you build may not be the one you stay with, but each venture teaches you more about yourself and your audience. Entrepreneurship demands constant evolution, uncovering hidden talents, developing new skills, and creating new results. As long as you move with conviction and intention, allowing yourself to grow, you will inevitably discover your purpose and stumble upon prosperity as a natural byproduct.
