ABOUT me

purpose and passion
as a gym and hobby farm owner and operator, strength coach, functional nutritionist and holistic health coach — my life is commited to the path of human wellness and improving genetic potential. i beleive health incorporates everything, from where our food comes from to the MEDIA we expose ourselves to.
my approach includes extensive research, reviewing scientific literature, modern biohacking supplementations and advanced diagnostic testing — all the way back to ancestral diets, traditional wisdoms and ancient interventions.
i believe that improved health should be accessible to everyone. i also believe that it shouldn’t necessarily be complicated or difficult.
in 2015, i was shot in the head by a 12 gauge shot-gun at close range. i was subsequently diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd), major depression disorder (mdd) and generalised anxiety disorder. what wasn’t seen to be connected, by the segemented allopathic model — was my emerging gastrointestinal issues. i was diagnosed with ibd by a gastroentologist and offered surgery as my only solution.
i refused to have my guts cut out, mostly due to Its poor statistical benefit and began on my own path to finding a solution.
i saw many many doctors, specialists, tcm doctors, ACCUPUNCTURists, MULTIPLE naturopaths — tried gf diets, paleo, carnivore, intermittent fasting, gaps, keto and a whole host more dietary interventions — including vast arrays of supplements, superfoods and restrictions, inclusions, meal timings, sauning, breathwork, meditations, retreats, cold therapies, heartmath, neural-stimulation, emdr, binuaral beats, sensory depravation, light therapies etc etc etc.
all of these interventions provided some benefit — either minor symptomatic relief or more substantial improvements. but, overall, none of them were able to induce significant relief.
until i came across the functional methods — moving away from dogmatic monotherapies and methodology adherence, i was able to experience significant and LONG-LASTING improvements to my physical and mental health.
since, i have been blessed to learn from some of the most incredible minds within the industry — and i’m dedicated to sharing this approach to anyone interested in the path of health, wellness and healing.
