Nutritional Consulting

 

In regard to my studies on health, I am someone who has dedicated my life to being involved in the health & fitness industry. I started exercising and training with weights when I was 12 and eventually became a personal trainer when I was in my early 20s. I’m that guy who relentlessly read about health and fitness on a daily basis for years and years and years.

That said, I have invested well over 10,000 hours of studying nutrition and how the human body works. It is something I am passionate about and I still love learning today. Besides reading countless articles and books, I have attended dozens of health related seminars, conferences, and webinars. Additionally, I have completed a masters program in holistic nutrition.

I was also the head nutritional consultant for Nutrition Solutions in the Tampa area managing over 300 of our client’s supplement and lifestyle choices.

Furthermore, I am a published author and have completed certifications in both Metabolic Typing and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. My next project will be the 90 Year Challenge, where I teach people how to live into their 90s and beyond.

Metabolic Typing ® (CMTA)

– As a Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor, I can use a scientific testing procedure to determine what foods your body is perfectly programmed to eat. Eating the right foods will get you well and keep you well for the rest of your life. No matter what health issues you have, eating the right diet for your type will help balance your body chemistry and restore proper functions to every single cell.

Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist (FDN)

– As an FDN I studied every body system to learn about how and why they work together. Now I can legally run a variety of lab tests to determine where and how stress on the body is creating a loss of function. Once the problems have been identified I can recommend natural protocols to restore proper function.

My Conclusion is …

After decades of studying and learning about how the human body works I have come to a simple conclusion – it’s all about how healthy our cells are. Good health can only be achieved by creating healthy cells. Our bodies are made up of about 50 trillion cells and all of these small cells come together to form healthy tissues, and those tissues come together to form healthy glands and organs, and those come together to form healthy body systems, which come together to form US. As you can see my conclusion is pretty simple to understand. We are only as strong as our weakest link, and our weakest link is our cells. If they are healthy – then so are we.

So how do we make our cells healthy?

That’s where it gets a little more complicated because we all have a very unique set of genetics and we are all exposed to different types stress in our lives. This is where my unique training and knowledge proves to be very helpful.

My healthy cell building protocols are NOT a quick fix. They are a wise investment in truly preventative healthcare measures that provide a priceless alternative to drugs and/or surgery…

Building a Foundation of Health

Hydrate

Proper hydration is the first critical step toward building health and fat loss

Sun

Despite what most Doctors tell you the sun is vital for life on earth and vital for your own health

Get the Waste Out

Oversee basic-level detox protocols based on client needs

Get Good Nutrition In

Build healthier blood through proper nutrition using a few of my favorite tools

Increase Circulation

Devise a plan for regular movement that fits the client’s personal lifestyle

At the time of writing this I am almost 60 years old. Although I might not be the most impressive person you have ever seen at this age,  I do possess something most people my age (or any age for that matter) do NOT have, and that is symptoms. I live a life that is virtually symptom-free.  I have NO chronic back problems, sleep disorders, bouts of depression, allergies, chronic fatigue, rashes, headaches, or other aches and pains many people typically suffer from.  I also rarely get sick, I do not need glasses and my teeth are also in good condition. Simply put, I feel the same way I have always felt – pretty damn good!

Furthermore, I would like to make one thing clear; I am not a doctor. Doctor’s diagnose diseases and treat symptoms with drugs and surgery, which is great for short-term, emergency situations. However, for long-term, chronic conditions you are much better off with someone like me. I determine where and how stress leads to a loss of function in the body and then recommend safe and effective protocols to restore function. Due to my own education and practical experience, I am someone who has more knowledge than your typical doctor when it comes to healthy lifestyle principles such as training, diet and nutrition, etc.

My Books Speak for Me

Although I no longer have time to work one on one with clients, my books can do it for me. Everything I’ve learned over a lifetime is there to help you become the best version of yourself: mentally, spiritually and physically.
