The Age Optimizer | I coach aging and aspiring adults to take back control of their health so they can live stronger in their second half | Motivational Speaker | Author of 𝐴𝑔𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡

I’m 64. Since my mid-20s, I’ve wanted to live disease, doctor, and drug free, to give myself the best chance to die healthy at a ripe old age of around 120! 

It might sound like a pipedream, but I'm telling you, I’ve spent my entire life thinking about and researching what it would take to make it happen and then living every day to give myself the best chance. 

Now I’m helping others – the young and not-so-young - to also have their shot at a life free of chronic disease and dysfunction. 

Imagine being there for your great-grandkids and racing them around the yard!  Or imagine being able to travel the world and hike into your 100s, with no limits to what you want to do or where you want to go. We ALL have our own WHY.  For me, and I hope for you, the idea of being able to create those kinds of memories just fires me up.

If you’re thinking it might be cool to beat the “doctor dance” and take back your health and vitality, reach out. I’d love to help.
