 Ellen Bereza is a certified hypnotherapist, keynote speaker, and mindset strategist who helps OverThinkers move out of mental chaos and into a life that feels steadier, clearer, and more possible – even when life is messy. After losing her dad to MS when she was 22, her mom had breast cancer when she was 24, and now navigating her own life with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, Ellen dove deep into neuroscience and the mind-body connection to understand how our thoughts and energy shape our lived experience. Her work bridges science and lived wisdom, teaching practical tools that help people regulate stress, quiet internal noise, and create inner alignment that supports well-being.
About Dan Metcalfe Dan Metcalfe is the founder and host of Born SuperHuman and a pioneer in human performance. From performing for millions in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber productions to serving as Head Coach of the USA Olympic Development Program, his journey has been anything but conventional. After a devastating stage accident in Las Vegas left him paralyzed — and a 2018 cycling accident resulted in partial brain death — doctors predicted lifelong disability. He proved them wrong. Through deep study of neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and natural healing, Dan discovered the brain’s extraordinary ability to rebuild when given the right support. He went on to create the Total Balance System and develop the revolutionary Total Balance Mobility Metcalfe Method – helping thousands worldwide reclaim strength, balance, and control. His philosophy is simple: We are all Born SuperHuman.
