Meet Coach Brian
As a kid I always loved athletics. After graduating college I hung up my cleats. Instead of doing what truly made me happy, I was living my life based on the expectations others. The result: I became a fat, lazy, chronically fatigued, depressed, anxious, and irritable workaholic.
I was a deeply unhappy 298 lbs. couch potato. I wasn’t unhappy because I was fat, I was fat because I was unhappy. Imprisoned in a cubicle and too exhausted cook a healthy meal I would try and soothe my pain with epic drive-thru hauls at Del Taco. In the misery that was my daily life the only thing I knew for sure was I always felt better after breaking a sweat. Exercise was my medicine.
A few years later and more than 100 lbs. lighter I know the power of the Mind-Body connection. My body was sick and it was poisoning my mind. The depression and anxiety were my body’s way of signaling my mind that I would die young if I didn’t re-prioritize my life.
Through discovering firsthand the power of the Mind-Body connection I have become and evangelist for all things health and wellness. I know now that it is my duty to help others with their mental and emotional wellbeing by cleaning up their diets and getting their bodies moving.
