Meet Sharik Peck

 

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sharik Peck. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Sharik, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

Resilience has come from experiences. Especially difficult and sometimes painful experiences seem to encourage resilience. In my particular case, perhaps recovering from surgery at 6 months of age and recovering from a broken neck at 2 years of age, and recovering from a complicated elbow fracture at age 6, and recovering from a fractured back at age 15, and recovering from a stroke at age 17 all contributed to learning resilience? With several additional illnesses and injuries in the mix, resilience became a motto.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

Emblazoned in my memory, July 3, 1986 would never be fully remembered or fully forgotten. I was preparing for my senior year of high school and decided to participate in one more wrestling tournament before school would start in August. It was the inaugural year for the Utah Summer Games, an Olympic style series of sporting events happening in a packed week-long event. It was the semifinal round, and I was doing great! With 35 seconds to go in the match I was ahead by 10 points. In a last desperate attempt to change the outcome of the match my opponent caught me in a headlock and tried with all his might to put my shoulders on the mat. Somewhere during that violent last few seconds of the match an artery in my neck tore open and began flooding the area around my brain with blood while the areas fed by that artery were quickly starved of essential nutrients and all-important oxygen.

In an instant my life changed and would never be the same. Seconds and minutes were precious as emergency rooms, life flight, MRI’s, CT scans, an intensive care unit, medications and then endless days of therapy became my new reality. Years before this stroke my neck had been broken in an unfortunate accident as I was tossed around by a neighborhood youth that accidently let go while swinging me around. Later my back was fractured during a 3-wheeler accident. It seemed I had a need to learn important life lessons through painful experiences.

Regaining the ability to walk, and use the left side of my body in a semiparalysed state after my stroke took a lot of effort! More difficult was the years of effort it took to regain working memory and the ability to learn and retain information. 4 years after my stroke I enrolled in college with the intent to become a physical therapist. I wanted to dedicate my career to helping others get their life and abilities back as I had been helped. My dream became a reality over time as I found out how very difficult it is to learn with a brain that did not function properly. A tribute to many dedicated family members and friends, in 1994 I became a licensed physical therapist!
Years of working with individuals in chronic pain and rehabilitating from illness and injury kept me studying everything I could do to help my clients. One night 10 years ago, I awoke with a distinct impression that vibration can be used to aid in healing the human nervous system. I threw myself into searching for the perfect tool that would target the areas of chronic pain and muscles that hold onto stress and tension causing conditions like migraine headaches, neck and low back pain, TMJ, stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and a host of autoimmune conditions. My family has been heavily involved in humanitarian efforts throughout the world and I could see an intense need for people to have natural solutions for the management of chronic pain.

I could not find the right tool to help people in the way that I knew they could be helped so I took that night-time impression and set about experimenting with anything I could get my hands on that vibrated. My family members became my test subjects as I experimented with frequencies, intensities, forms, and types of vibrational energy. I soon found that the body responded well to certain types of resonant frequency better than others, and some spots on the body seemed to be key entry locations that would allow positive improvements to be felt.

One day in my studies several light bulbs in my mind suddenly woke up as I realized the unique connection the 10th cranial nerve has with vibration! The Vagus nerve (CN X) has a branch, the recurrent laryngeal branch, that cues in to and functions on vibration frequencies. You will know that branch as your vocal cords. Suddenly my study had a new purpose. I needed to know everything I could learn about how to affect the vagus nerve. You see, that nerve is the driver for the autonomic nervous system, almost entirely dedicated to helping you heal from traumas and improve your ability to function in life while helping your heart keep beating and breathing steady, and digestion, rest, and recovery a priority and regeneration and renewal possible. I have come to understand how the vagus nerve and the trigeminal nerve (the 5th cranial nerve) work as a balancing mechanism in the fight or flight process. This understanding has led me to develop life changing therapies for many people suffering from chronic pain and brain injuries!

Several years of trying everything I could find that was safe and provided vibrational energy led me to better understand how the nervous system interacts with various forms of vibrational energy. I could not find the right tool that could help in the way I knew vibration could help people to heal as I knew it could by improving the function of the vagus nerve. With support of my wife and family, I set about to create the perfect tool, and Rezzimax® was born.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

I have become a member of the International Association of Functional Neurologists and have dedicated my studies and inventions to the field that is making a most significant impact on helping individuals such as myself recover from traumatic brain injuries. Sharing tools and techniques to help many great professionals help people around the world has certainly been a blessing as I have found professionals that understand the foundational basis the brain requires for development and healing.

What is the secret behind the ability of our invention to help so many people in chronic pain and suffering from brain injuries? It is a master at getting the tenth cranial nerve, the vagus nerve, to function optimally, thus helping reconnect the Central Nervous System!

How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?

Currently we live in a splintered world. The tension and stress level of the average person is much higher than it should be. Fear is rampant. Our biggest challenge for our company is because we invented a product that sounds too good to be true. We therefore spend a lot of time sharing how to use our invention for the many conditions it can help with.
