One Vet’s Fix for the VA’s Failures

Kris Searles got blown out, broken down, and pushed out. The VA gave him pills. He gave them the finger.

Instead of numbing out, he wrote a check, got stem cell therapy, fixed his back, got his life back, and started helping others do the same. Now, through Overwatch 6, he's funding treatments that work, no pills, no surgeries, no BS.

He's also training vets to coach each other through trauma. No therapy jargon. Just guys who've been through hell, helping others crawl out of it.

If you've ever stared at your pill bottle and thought, "There's gotta be a better way," this may be that way.
