At the heart of navigating life with a chronic diagnosis lies the empowering framework of The Trinity of You.
Created by Paul Cobbin after his own transformative journey through prostate cancer, coronary artery disease, and cerebral microvascular disease, this system aims to shift the narrative of chronic conditions from one of limitation to one of empowerment, resilience, and fulfillment.
What is The Trinity of You?
The Trinity of You is a structured pathway designed to guide individuals, or “Titans,” from diagnosis to a thriving, meaningful life. It integrates three vital dimensions of existence—mind, body, and soul—into a cohesive philosophy that fosters Dynamic Harmony. This balanced state allows Titans to adapt to life’s challenges while maintaining alignment with their core values and personal aspirations.
