About
Dan Metcalfe is the Founder of Born SuperHuman, a company dedicated to unlocking human potential through holistic health and performance strategies. Born in England, he pursued an athletic path as a young footballer and Royal Marine cadet, later transitioning into professional performing arts, starring in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express on stages worldwide, including the West End and Las Vegas. A life-altering spinal injury during a performance left him paralyzed and facing a prognosis of lifelong disability, but Metcalfe defied expectations by rejecting conventional treatments and embarking on a self-directed recovery journey that not only restored his mobility but elevated his understanding of brain-body connections and natural healing.
Post-recovery, Metcalfe became an Olympic Development Program Head Coach for soccer, leading teams to success even while initially coaching from a wheelchair, and trained over 70,000 individuals ranging from professional athletes and celebrities like Bob Eubanks to stroke survivors and seniors. He authored the book 'Born SuperHuman' (also titled 'Superhuman'), outlining his Seven Pillars of Natural Health, which emphasize mindset, resilience, and innate capabilities over dependency on external aids. As a sought-after speaker and thought leader, Metcalfe shares science-backed insights on leadership, wellness, and longevity, inspiring audiences through real-life stories of overcoming adversity, including a childhood battle with severe asthma that he conquered without medication.
