What coaching covers

  • Lifestyle assessment and personalized planning
  • Nutrition, training, sleep, stress, and recovery coaching
  • Educational context around therapies, peptides, and metabolic tools
  • Accountability and ongoing adjustment
  • Coordination and communication with your medical team when appropriate

What coaching does not cover

  • Diagnosis of any medical condition
  • Treatment of disease
  • Prescribing, dispensing, or recommending medications
  • Replacing your physician, endocrinologist, or specialist
I take scope seriously because it protects clients. My role is to make you the best coached, best educated, most consistent version of yourself. Your clinical team's role is medicine. Those two working together is a powerful combination.

Clients get the best outcomes when their coach and their clinician are aligned. I make it easy for both — clear notes, honest communication, and complete respect for the medical decisions that are not mine to make.
