The Coach Behind the Program

I'm not a fitness or wellness influencer. I'm a man who had his health collapse in his 40s — and rebuilt it from the ground up using science, not shortcuts.

 

That's the experience I bring to every man I work with.

From Crisis to Coach


For 15 years I worked as a front line humanitarian worker in some of the worst conflicts and disasters of our time— Afghanistan, Sudan, Haiti, among others. Collaborating with the UN, UNICEF, and the Red Cross was meaningful work, but it took a real and unexpected toll.


By my early 40s, PTSD, chronic stress, tropical diseases, neglected sleep, poor nutrition, degenerative disc disease and years of overriding my body's signals had quietly accumulated. I ended up bedridden — pain I couldn't manage, medication I'd come to depend on. Physically and mentally disabled, I felt for the first time in my adult life, genuinely lost.

“The irony is: I'd spent a career responding to other people's crises without recognizing I was in one myself.”

So I went back to school. I earned a Master's in Public Health Nutrition from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, got certified as a life coach and yoga teacher, and essentially became my own first client — studying the scientific evidence methodically, and testing it until I found what actually worked.


Within 12 months I was 95% pain-free, off medication, and had more vitality than I'd had in my 30s.


That process became a system. And that system is the foundation of the health and   longevity coaching program I now run for men over 50.

Why My Story Matters for Yours


I know what it feels like to be functional on the outside and quietly running on empty. I know what it’s like to try the generic advice — eat less, exercise more — and have it not move the needle.


The men who come to me aren’t lacking willpower. They’re lacking a plan built around how a man’s body actually works after 50.


That’s what I build with you. Not a template. A personalized system designed around your biology, your schedule, and your goals.
