​I’ve been overweight most of my adult life. I began a career in sales in 1995, the same year as the birth of my first child. That’s when I started to put on the pounds. Most of time between 1996 and 2016, I was between 270-290 pounds with a maximum weight over 305 pounds. During that time, I could diet and easily lose 20-30 pounds for short periods of time, but I would quickly put the weight back on. Every Holiday season I put on 20+ pounds and every January I would start taking diet pills and restrict my food intake for a couple of months to shed some of that weight. Check out the before and after photos below (ugh)! Life went on. I had four kids. I traveled all the time with my work. I had back surgery for herniated L4/L5 disk, had my gall bladder removed, suffered with IBS, diverticulitis, pre-diabetes, plantar fasciitis, kidney stones, depression, worsening allergies, etc.. By 2015 I was a single dad taking care of four kids on my own and still living an unhealthy salesman lifestyle. My health continued to spiral downward. It was at that point that I decided I needed to take care of myself (put my own oxygen mask on first) in order to the be able to handle the stress of my responsibilities as a father and sole caregiver. I discovered the Primal lifestyle and dove in! I learned and implemented the keys to healthy living. I lost 70 pounds in about nine months and have kept that weight off for the past 18 months. Every one of my poor health conditions disappeared! On top of that, I was able to re-enter the sales force and jump back into an environment with a frequent travel schedule, client dinners and drinks: The very lifestyle that had originally contributed to my poor health. I maintained my healthy weight, high energy and positive outlook. In addition to the healthy eating strategies I discovered, I implemented mindfulness practices, morning routines and exercise strategies that kept me at peak performance on the job and at home. When the Primal Health Coaching program was launched at the end of 2016, I quickly singed up and immersed myself into the material. I passed the course, attended the Masterclass at Mark Sisson’s house in Malibu and then made the decision to follow my passion to become a full-time Health Coach. I’m excited to share with you the information and strategies that I implemented to transform my own life to be at the best health in my entire life at age 50! Let me show you how you can also live life to it’s fullest and enjoy optimal health into your 50s, 60s and beyond!
