About Mark Burnett
Mark Burnett, who has been diagnosed with stage three Parkinson's disease, has spoken publicly about his health and his development of a dietary supplement he markets through the website mybrainrestore.com. Burnett has stated that he was born at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and that he believes contaminated water there caused his Parkinson's. He has said that after his diagnosis, he researched a natural product that had been used in mouse studies to clear neurological disease, and that he began taking it himself. Burnett has claimed that his tremors stopped, that he was able to run a marathon, and that his Alzheimer's test results improved. He has described the supplement as being based on an ingredient from ancient Chinese medicine and said it targets the glymphatic system, a waste-clearing pathway in the brain discovered in 2012.
In addition to his health-related work, Burnett has continued to produce content focused on project management and mindset, branding himself as "The Ambidextrous Project Manager." He has appeared on podcasts discussing the value of building long-term business relationships over short-term deals, and has given talks on overcoming adversity and leading with resilience. Burnett has also promoted his book and offered free PDF downloads and discount codes for his supplement, stating that the product takes six months to a year to show results. He has said that 10% of his buyers have been doctors, which he described as validating.

It was amazing. We have a job to do, which is to fulfill the promise to all these loyal Voice fans, and they're expecting a great finale, and it was just great. I didn't even tell my wife what was happening. We were driving in. I said, 'Who's performing tonight? Anybody exciting?' He said, 'You'll see when you get there.' So when Lady Gaga came out on stage with Christina, my chin hit the ground, and then followed up with Celine Dion, I couldn't believe it. It was a brilliant, dazzling night.
They're really good performers, and with the right nurturing and the right exposure, people get a real chance. Tonight you're going to see Tessanne. That song she sang at the end, Ryan Tedder wrote that. He's a brilliant songwriter, and came on as a producer for The Voice officially, and he wrote a wonderful song. Ryan's really cool. That's a hit. I bet it'll be a hit by tomorrow.
The singer's doing great. It's been a great week. We had so much going on in the last week with the Survivor finale, The Voice finale, Shark Tank on, Single. I think we've had 17 hours on in 9 days, which is a lot of television. Having a great time. All family-friendly, all fun. And The Sing-Off is a great show. The Sing-Off is a really fun, uplifting show.

We love that about all the shows we do. You can sit on the couch with your kids and watch it together. It was great news today. The Bible obviously had huge numbers. 100 million people watched The Bible in 2013. And today NBC officially greenlit the follow-on series called AD, which begins at the crucifixion of Jesus and goes on with how 12 disciples took down Rome. It's a very epic series, and it'll be on in 2015. We're thrilled to bits. We love history. We love the Bible. We love this period of time, and it's an amazing story to be told. We feel very excited, humbled, and privileged that we get to be the ones to bring it to the screen with NBC.
February 28th, Son of God, the feature film of Jesus, comes out in thousands of theaters all over the country. The story of Jesus hasn't been on the big screen for almost 10 years. It'll be amazing. It's the most beautiful film showing the life of Jesus, and it's powerful and poignant, and it will open on February 28th.
I think the most important message is that you never know what's going to happen, and if you feel the need to be certain before you even take the first step, you will never even get off the couch. You have to just have instinct and keep walking forward, and you will figure it out. As long as you keep focused and have the right feeling and instinct, keep going and do what you want to do. When people told us there's no way anyone will watch The Bible in prime time TV, 100 million people watched The Bible. And when this movie opens, you wait and see on February 28th, when Son of God comes in movies, you wait and see the amount of people who show up for this movie.
