I would love to hear from you!

Brian Heilig shares his powerful journey from the birth of his micro preemie son in Mexico to finding faith, purpose, and a mission to help others. His story reveals how crisis moments can transform our lives and lead us to deeper connections with God and community.

• Brian's son Grayson was born at exactly 26 weeks weighing only 1.6 pounds after his wife developed severe preeclampsia
• Being in a Mexican hospital with limited equipment and language barriers created enormous challenges for the family
• The NICU experience became Brian's defining faith moment, connecting with God for the first time in the hospital chapel
• Through social media, their story mobilized worldwide support from NICU nurses and strangers that enabled a life flight to Miami
• Grayson was later diagnosed with autism at age 3, adding another dimension to their parenting journey
• Brian's family discovered the significant impact of nutrition on health, especially for children with autism
• Intermittent fasting has become a beneficial practice in Brian's life, helping with weight management and mental clarity
• After feeling called by God, Brian wrote "Breathe, Eat, Poop, and Grow," with all proceeds going to provide proper NICU equipment to Mexican hospitals
• The most important lesson from Brian's journey: "Get with God before you need Him"
