A moving talk and media reel where Dr. V shares his personal story from refugee to physician and how purpose fuels health.

The video opens with Dr. Kien Vuu posing a bold question: “What if you chose to press reset right now?” He explains that denying your true self, purpose, or passion puts limits on your health and potential. To reach peak bioenergetic capacity, you need both purpose and community.

Born an infant refugee, he endured dysentery, ricketts, and life-threatening conditions on a boat before arriving in America as the only surviving child after eight months at sea and eight more in a refugee camp. Rising from poverty and racism, he built a successful medical career. But in chasing success, he lost vulnerability, authenticity, and his ability to dream.
