Patrick Testoni: The subconscious shift: Addiction, recovery, and living beyond limits // #35

Patrick Testoni is a lifelong athlete and energy professional with a passion for spiritual growth and transformation. Raised in Catholicism, he sought meaning through traveling, music festivals, and psychedelic experiences, eventually finding recovery through a 12-step journey.

Over the past 28 years in recovery, Patrick has overcome active addiction and homelessness. Throughout this journey, he's pursued self-realization by reigniting lost dreams and passions. Recently, he embraced endurance sports, completing a 70.3 Ironman and four Olympic triathlons, and he's just accomplished his first full Ironman on November 17, 2024!

His spiritual path has been about discovering a personal, intuitive connection to the world. Today, Patrick focuses on performance mindset coaching through hypnotherapy, helping others overcome addiction and unlock their potential. As a plant-based advocate, he strives to live—and inspire others to live—a high-value life of growth and self-discovery.
