About the Author
Willie 'Bill' Davis
Willie “Bill” Davis is not just an author; he’s a CEO, visionary thinker and a devoted family man. With an enduring 43-year marriage to his wife Denise, five cherished children, and eleven adored grandchildren, Bill’s life has been profoundly enriched by the love and wisdom of his extended family and friends. His journey into retirement began in 2009 after a dedicated 35-year career at Chrysler Corporation, where he worked tirelessly and ascended to the role of a clerk/team leader. This professional journey not only honed his work ethic but also instilled in him valuable lessons about teamwork, resilience, and unwavering commitment.. However, what truly sets Bill apart is his extraordinary personal transformation. At the age of 66 1/2, he embarked on a remarkable weight loss journey that defied all odds, shedding a remarkable 225 pounds in just 22 months—without resorting to surgeries, procedures, medical diet plans, pills, or gimmicks. Today, he stands at 70 1/2 a healthy and lean 150 pounds, maintaining this incredible weight loss for over 20 months. This awe-inspiring fitness and health transformation is a central theme in his work, intricately woven with his dedication to family, community, church, and personal growth.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
It was like a breath of fresh air to meet Willie Davis and witness his amazing transformation. The thing that sets this man apart from the rest is how he was able to accomplish this impressive feat at the age of sixty-eight. Of course, I’ve watched people in their twenties and thirties turn their lives around. Seeing this at his age is mind-blowing! When this man needed to lose over two hundred pounds to be fit enough for a hip replacement and heal his body, he made the decision and got it done!

A story of a few words and a plan bringing life-altering changes. It is the best that a patient and a doctor can achieve. It is a reminder to physicians that when we become myopic from the challenges of our profession, we need to remember something. In our best moments we do not treat disease or suffering. In our best moments we touch someone’s life, and they touch ours.
That is the true destination of a therapeutic relationship. This is a story of what can be done when facing a challenge. It is a story that can surely be therapeutic for you as well.
