In this raw and revealing episode, Baywatch icon Jeremy Jackson opens up about the highs and hellish lows of fame, addiction, and ultimate transformation.

Jeremy shares shocking stories from the peak of his Hollywood career—walking off the set of the most-watched TV show in the world, battling meth addiction, nearly dying, stabbing a gang member in self-defense, and finally… discovering the spiritual path that saved his life.

We also get into:

  • The truth behind his Baywatch departure

  • Why he lost major roles to Leonardo DiCaprio and Jason Momoa

  • His recovery journey and the Balanced Man Retreat in Costa Rica

  • A wild $20,000 gene therapy shot that supercharged his body

  • And the faith-based mindset that fuels his mission today

If you're fascinated by redemption arcs, Hollywood secrets, or want to feel inspired to turn your own life around—this episode delivers.
