Manifestation and Healing: Dr. Andrew Cort on Changing Your Mindset for Abundance

In an insightful conversation with Martin Pytela on the Life Enthusiast Health Shots, Dr. Andrew Cort—a man of many talents and letters (MA, JD, Doctor of Chiropractic)—shared a profound journey of transformation: from chronic pain and victimhood to spiritual empowerment and holistic healing. Their discussion wasn’t just about Dr. Cort’s latest book, “Create Yourself Anew from Above Down,” but about the very practical steps anyone can take to radically uplift their life, health, and worldview.

Redefining Manifestation—from Fixing to Creating

Dr. Cort’s new book stands out in the crowded field of manifestation techniques due to its core message: true manifestation is not about “fixing” the circumstances you don’t want. Instead, it’s about rising above your struggle, connecting to your sacred, inner source, and choosing—powerfully—what you prefer in this multiverse of possibilities.

He explains that the work begins with a deep mindset shift. Rather than battling negativity or feeling powerless in the face of adversity, we are called to recognize ourselves as spiritual beings, with the creative authority to shape our lives from the highest level of our consciousness. It’s less about fighting the darkness and more about turning on the light.

From Chronic Illness to Spiritual Empowerment

Dr. Cort speaks from experience. At 23, he was struck by a severe case of arthritis and psoriasis, debilitating enough to force him to walk with a cane and cover 85% of his body in painful psoriasis. Mainstream medicine offered little hope (“try 20 aspirins a day,” they said), so Dr. Cort turned instead to holistic healing, eventually becoming a chiropractor.

But his real breakthrough wasn’t just physical—it was emotional and spiritual. Like many, he’d believed his unhappiness was caused by his circumstances. What if, he wondered, the opposite were true? What if his pain and struggle were manifestations of his own unhappy, victimized mindset?

That question became the turning point.

The Power of Gratitude, Happiness, and Worth

Dr. Cort’s healing journey spanned years of consciously cultivating happiness and gratitude. He realized happiness doesn’t come after life improves—it’s the fertile soil in which a better life grows.

Gratitude, too, was a revelation. It’s impossible, he suggests, to sustain genuine happiness without a deep foundation of gratitude. As he diligently practiced gratitude, he discovered another insight: a persistent feeling of unworthiness. Healing, he learned, involved not just feeling happy or grateful, but embracing profound self-worth and confidence as a child of the divine.

Courage, too, was needed. For Dr. Cort, true courage came from recognizing his eternal, spiritual nature—that nothing, ultimately, could destroy the core of who he was.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Dr. Cort’s story led him back into healing practice, where he now integrates physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual methods. In his concise guide, “The Real Cause of Pain and Illness,” he outlines a three-part holistic model:
The Active Agent: The trigger—be it germ, toxin, or trauma.
The Receptive Body: The ground—how prepared (or depleted) the body is.
The Conciliating Force: The “enzyme” that shifts the outcome, including the immune system and, most powerfully, the mindset and belief.

He emphasizes that the “placebo effect”—changes brought about by belief alone—is not a footnote to healing, but one of its greatest engines. “Describe your reality,” he says, “and it will manifest.”

Conclusion: The Inner Journey Is the Real Adventure

Dr. Cort’s story, as Martin points out, mirrors the symbolic hero’s journey present in spiritual traditions: a descent into struggle, the hard-won lessons, and an ascent to greater clarity and purpose. It’s a message for anyone who feels stuck or broken—healing and abundance are not just possible, but are your birthright, accessible through the power of conscious choice, daily practice, and inner alignment.
