What would you risk to fulfill your calling?

In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. K sits down with JD Tremblay, ultra endurance athlete, former military serviceman, naturopathic practitioner, and Director of Human Performance at Hungry Warrior Academy. JD shares the unbelievable story of selling his house to compete in the Epic Deca: 10 Ironmans in 10 days across 6 Hawaiian islands. Only three people in the world have ever finished it.

From growing up in Northern Quebec and joining the military at 17 to battling suicidal thoughts, to engineering his body for peak performance, JD reveals how faith, systems thinking, discipline, and burning the boats shaped his life. This episode dives deep into resilience under pressure, mental toughness, elite performance physiology, spiritual alignment, and why values matter more than goals.

At its core, this is a conversation about surrender, obedience, discipline, and how God shapes strength through pressure.
