About Lino

Dr. Lino Martinez, PsyD, is an author, poet, professor, and the creator of the A Little Less Fear Podcast. His life’s work is rooted in resilience, spiritual growth, and personal transformation shaped by his extraordinary journey of surviving a rare genetic disease and embracing his authentic identity.
Diagnosed with Muckle Wells Syndrome at age 36, Lino endured more than 40 life-saving surgeries and years of chronic illness. Declared female at birth, he transitioned to male at 34 to align with his true energetic self and live in full authenticity. His lived experience inspires his mission: to help others heal, awaken, and live with courage, purpose, and self-love.
Through the support of exceptional medical teams, spiritual awakening, and an unbreakable will to survive, Lino transformed years of suffering into a message of love, hope, and inner freedom. He believes that pain does not define one’s destiny and that opening the heart to unconditional love is the foundation for true healing.
Lino is devoted to helping others recognize that they, too, carry an inner light a powerful healing force within themselves that can guide them toward wholeness, joy, and transformation.
