Add-ons

  • "LifePre" the Pre-Workout for Life Extension and NAD+

    LifePre is my exclusive formula. There are no pre-workouts like this anywhere else. Take one scoop daily to enhance athletic performance and energy, increase NAD+ within your cells, stimulate cellular and epigenetic repair, restore youth and functional vitality to organs, boost NO (nitric oxide), promote endothelial health (the lining of your blood vessels), enhance post-workout muscle recovery and repair, and optimize your metabolic health. You should take this supplement daily. Even on days you don't workout. That will maximize the metabolic benefits to your cardiovascular health and help mitigate and reverse cellular aging. Like all pre-workouts, LifePre helps you maximize your results in the gym and recovery afterward. But it's much more than just a pre-workout. What's more, while LifePre has all the ingredients you need to have a kick-ass workout, with a sick pump, followed up with optimal recovery (AND ALSO improve your overall health and well-being)… it has ZERO ingredients you don't need. Caffeine-free. Stimulant-free. Sugar-free. Carcinogen-free. Fragrance-free. No dyes. Pure and free of any additives or preservatives. Sweetened with pure, natural stevia extract. 30 - 31 doses. For my active clients only (LifePre is not available for sale to non-clients at this time, but feel free to email [email protected] to be notified when it becomes available for non-clients). NOTES: If you are taking medication that lowers your blood pressure, this formula, which can lower blood pressure somewhat, may intensify the effect of such medications. Please do not use instead of blood pressure medication and consult with your physician to adjust your medication as needed. Contains the full active dose of beta alanine, which produces a strong tingling sensation throughout the skin shortly after drinking and lasts about 30 minutes. If you are not used to this sensation, you may want to start out with half doses your first few times to get used to it. Perishable. Please keep refrigerated and consume within 4 months. Subscription price does not include shipping. You will have to pay shipping separately each month.

About Coach Chris


Hello athlete!

"What?… 'Athlete'?" You say… 
Well, yes.

It's an overlooked fact: we're actually all athletes. The truth is, every last one of us comes programmed for true athleticism. "Physicality" and "competitiveness" are not what define athleticism. We're talking about cellular health; a life of strength and resilience; moving calmer and more confident through the world; standing better; breathing better; living solidly.

If you're on this page, there's a reason. It's your time to unlock the dormant epigenetic programming inside you to let out your true, healthy, and vibrant self.

“Everyone is an athlete”

Let me be clear: This mission statement doesn't mean “athlete" in the usual sense of competition or team sports. It's not about benchmarks or thresholds. It's simply about a biological fact: for you to fully thrive, you have to dose all your cells with minimum amounts of:

- Strength training
- High intensity training
- Low intensity cardio
- Mobility work
- Adequate sleep
- Ample rest, relaxation, and self-care … unplugging
- An abundance of quality nourishment… optionally including some "fun" stuff

“Athleticism” is simply incorporating enough of those to stimulate your biology to run and rebuild itself the way it's designed to.

Too many people are unaware that musculoskeletal function is THE LYNCHPIN of all health. Mental health included.

Longevity and wellness are more readily attained and maintained with optimal muscle and bone health. Studies prove this.

Fitness is not about body fat. It's about RESILIENCE at the cellular (and matrix) level of our bodies. Resilience is quickly stimulated through the factors I listed above… but what's more amazing is that with sustained stimulation our genetics get re-written to be better at this resilience. It doesn't take very long to get that re-write either. But you have to keep it up… or else it "re-writes" right back.

Would you like to have the health and vitality, or even the body of a 20-something in your 40s and 50s? You can! Reach out. Let’s get on it. Now!

WHAT SETS ME APART?

I put mental health first.

If you’re not pursuing mental health, physical health means nothing.

I firmly believe every client needs to start with the aim of improving their mental health. The physical stuff we work on in the gym helps your body support mental health. They're synergistic. But your first priority, absolutely, is making sure mental health is in charge of this process.

Sadly, the fitness industry has historically sacrificed mental health at the altar of “Idealized Fitness”.

In contrast, I’m gentle, patient, well-spoken, and approachable. I prioritize healthy biomechanics, injury prevention, unplugging, and keeping healthy perspectives. I also have a knack for explaining abstract and complicated things about our bodies and biology. I’m a natural educator.

» I'm not here to traumatize you even more about diet or fitness than you already have been. »

» I'm here to de-traumaize you (and I’m very much a HAES proponent—Health At Every Size). »

My #1 aim is your health, happiness, and wellbeing—for the long haul.

Unlike the majority of health professionals, I'll tell you flat-out that your shape, size, and weight do NOT play a physiological role in attaining that health, happiness, or wellbeing. Yes, I can and will help you change your shape, size, or weight —IF that fulfills you. But I want you living at your healthiest and most vibrant above all else… your size and shape will then adapt to your best choices.

I hold you accountable to your wellbeing and your own goals, not to how you might imagine bystanders in the peanut gallery perceive you. …(and anyone who is not *you* is in the peanut gallery!)

I myself am 56 years "young", keeping myself resilient through fitness, diet, and supplementation. Allow me to share this rewarding path of a good life with you.



— —



PROCESS & METHODS

Guidance I give is always rooted in science (“evidence-based”). I’ll always let you know what’s complete BS, what’s supported by science, what’s debatable, and what’s at least logical and credible.

My specializations are: nutrition, health and longevity, biomechanics, body image, sustainability, muscular and aesthetic development (advanced body recomposition), balance, flexibility, and functional fitness.

To help you on your journey, you and I start out reviewing your health history and relevant labs (and we periodically review these going forward). My dietetics education qualifies me to help you understand what your health care team sadly doesn’t often have the capacity to explain. I can help you properly navigate it, or help you talk to your doctor, all while teaching you how to boost your health and longevity by fortifying your body.

Applying exercise, nutrition, and supplementation:, you’ll be fitter and stronger; happier, more self-confident… and calmer, more resilient. You'll have better endurance and stamina; develop better flexibility and mobility. In turn, all these profoundly impact your wellness and health-span. You’ll reverse key markers of biological aging.

I promise you’ll love it and love yourself.

Please reach out so we can ignite this positive feedback loop now »»
