At BreakIT, we believe that building a business starts with building ourselves. For those who are justice system-impacted or part of the LGBTQ+ community, the journey of entrepreneurship is often shaped by past trauma, chronic stress, or lack of access to affirming care. That’s why wellness isn’t a side note for us, it’s a core part of what we do.
This page is a growing hub of resources curated from doctors, mental health professionals, and healing practitioners we trust, intended to support the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re learning how to manage stress, exploring gender-affirming healthcare, or rebuilding after incarceration, we want you to know: you are worthy of wellness.
We don't just want our founders to succeed, we want them to thrive.
Explore the resources below, take what serves you, and know that healing doesn’t have to happen alone.
Dr. Gabor Maté has spent his career helping people understand that pain, trauma, and struggle are not signs of weakness but sources of profound wisdom. His work shows us how childhood adversity and systemic injustices shape our health, relationships, and opportunities in life. At BreakIT, we resonate deeply with his message: the wounds we carry can become the soil from which new strength and creativity grow. Dr. Maté reminds us that healing is not just about the absence of illness; it’s about reclaiming wholeness and discovering the resilience already within us.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Eric Berg has been empowering everyday people to take charge of their health through practical nutrition, simple lifestyle changes, and a focus on root causes. He’s best known for making concepts like healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting accessible to anyone. That spirit aligns with BreakIT’s belief that transformation doesn’t have to start big, but instead sometimes small, consistent shifts create the most powerful breakthroughs. Like our entrepreneurs who turn obstacles into opportunities, Dr. Berg shows that with the right tools and mindset, sustainable change is always within reach.

Dr. William Davis began as a cardiologist, but his curiosity and compassion led him far beyond the operating room. His Wheat Belly series and Infinite Health program have inspired countless people to rethink how food, gut health, and lifestyle affect their long-term vitality. At BreakIT, we see the same principle in entrepreneurship: when you challenge the systems and assumptions that no longer serve us, you unlock freedom, healing, and new ways of thriving. Dr. Davis’ work affirms that reclaiming health is a radical act of self-determination, just as building a business or telling your own story is.

Dr. Mark Hyman believes food is medicine, and that caring for the body means caring for the whole person: mind, community, and spirit included. His functional medicine approach looks beyond symptoms to uncover the deeper story of someone’s health. BreakIT shares this perspective. We know that trauma, stigma, and lack of opportunity can take a toll on health, but with the right nourishment, whether it’s through mentorship, healing, or being heard, people can flourish. Dr. Hyman’s vision of a healthier future mirrors our belief that wellness and entrepreneurship both grow strongest in supportive, inclusive ecosystems.

As a pioneering heart surgeon and researcher, Dr. Steven Gundry saw firsthand how medicine often treats illness but doesn’t always prevent it. His mission shifted to empowering people with the knowledge to protect and extend their healthspan, living not just longer, but better. That philosophy reflects BreakIT’s vision for entrepreneurship: we don’t just prepare our clients to survive barriers, we equip them to thrive for the long haul. Like Dr. Gundry, we believe true innovation starts with questioning old systems, building new habits, and giving people the tools to rewrite their own stories of resilience and vitality.
Dr. Barbara O’Neill has dedicated her career to public health, education, and empowering communities with knowledge that makes a difference in daily life. She bridges the gap between evidence-based science and practical action, helping people and families take steps toward stronger, healthier futures. Her work echoes BreakIT’s mission to honor lived experience and turn knowledge into power. Whether it’s building a business, reclaiming health, or telling your story, we believe transformation happens when people are equipped not just with information, but with care, encouragement, and real tools they can use.
