/// About
Not the apps. Not the advice. Not the “just meditate” recommendations from people who seemed to have it figured out.
The Gateway Process was built by someone who was stuck in survival mode—exhausted, wired, unable to sleep, unable to focus—and couldn't find a single program that told him exactly what to do, in what order, starting from zero.
So he built one.
/// The Founder
Not a neuroscientist. Not a therapist. Not a biohacker with a $10,000 morning routine.
A person who burned out, couldn't sleep, tried every app and advice thread on the internet—and none of it worked. Not because the practices were bad. Because there was no structure. No one said “do this on day one, add this on day seven, here's what week three looks like.”
So he started building one for himself. Water first thing. Phone off. Breathwork. Cold exposure. Movement. Journaling. An evening routine. One practice at a time, in a specific order, until it became a daily protocol he could follow without thinking about it.
Judd does every practice in The Gateway Process daily. Not as a job. As a life. This system wasn't designed in a lab. It was built by someone who lives it.
Breathwork, cold exposure, exercise, sunlight, journaling—none of this is new. You can find all of it on YouTube for free. And most of it is backed by real research.
But knowing what to do and having a system to follow are two completely different things. Information doesn't build habits. Structure does.
That's why The Gateway Process isn't a library of techniques. It's a daily system that tells you exactly what to do, in what order, and builds one practice at a time so nothing ever feels like a leap.
Structured programs complete at 2.5x the rate of self-directed approaches.
That's not opinion. That's data. And it's the entire reason this exists.
/// Our Commitment
AND WE'LL BE HONEST ABOUT IT.
Every practice in The Gateway Process was chosen because there's evidence behind it. Not influencer evidence. Peer-reviewed research.
Cyclic sighing outperformed meditation for stress reduction in a Stanford randomized controlled trial (2023).
Cold exposure has been reviewed across 104 studies for mood, inflammation, and stress resilience.
Exercise, sunlight, and sleep hygiene have decades of evidence behind them.
Journaling and gratitude have moderate but consistent evidence—stronger when stacked with physical practices.
Some of the research is strong. Some is promising. Some is still emerging. We'll always tell you which is which. No overclaiming. No “breakthrough science.” No citing a rat study like it proves something in humans.
If we ask you to do it, we'll show you why.
If you're in crisis or need professional mental health support, please get it. We'll say that inside the program too. The Gateway Process is a daily practice system—it complements professional care, it doesn't replace it.
The Beginner Tier is 6 weeks. Gateway 45 is 45 days. The results come from consistency, not from a single session.
Judd built the system. But The Gateway Process is bigger than one person. It's a system that works because of what's in it—not because of who's selling it.
No devices. No subscriptions. No gamification. You pay once, you get the system, and every practice in it is free to do for the rest of your life.
