Jennifer Aniston’s rumoured boyfriend, Jim Cutris, suffered from a chronic illness for 20 years

Jim Curtis calls himself a master hypnotist and wellness coach with 25 years of experience in the field. He uses hypnosis as a tool to treat anxiety and other mental health-related issues. But do you know, Jim’s turned a hypnotist after battling a chronic illness for 20 years. Jim, on his website, has claimed:

“I battled chronic illness for over 20 years and  learned how to heal and recover from the mental and physical pain, toxic relationships, and anxiety that came with it.”

At just 22, Curtis was diagnosed with lesions on his spinal cord, leaving him barely able to walk. He suffered a lot of pain and was even paralyzed. For many years, Curtis quietly battled muscle spasms, nerve damage, and chronic fatigue. He kept the real reason behind his private health issue a secret. Jim survived his own health crisis, and hypno-realizations have helped him transform his health and relationships.

The 49-year-old wellness coach also revealed in his past interviews that he suffered from acute irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) due to a chronic health condition. In a throwback interview, Jim revealed that he went through unbearable symptoms while working in high-stress jobs. IBS led to many awkward moments for Jim. Speaking about the same, he said:

“I had IBS, and accidents happened a lot. It was humiliating, especially during business trips through crowded airports.”

Soon, Jim started writing self-help books on his health struggles and also launched wellness programs and training in hypnotism. He has helped many celebrities, including Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal, Julianne Hough, and model, Miranda Kerr. Speaking about the same, he said:

“I’ve helped thousands transform their lives through hypno-realizations.”
