Why My Programs Work

Routine

Our programs focus on just 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 days a week, along with daily walking. With only 1.5% of your time dedicated, it's a manageable commitment for anyone.

Sustainable

We take a flexible approach to nutrition with the 80/20 rule. There are no "bad" foods; it's all about balance and enjoying life without restriction.

Science Backed

Our methods are grounded in scientific research. The exercise and nutrition plans we use are proven to deliver results, making progress a certainty with the right approach.

Customizable

Each program is tailored to fit individual abilities, knowledge, and goals. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to optimize, our plans are designed specifically for you.ation as a life coach through the JSCS.

How Does it Work?

Muscle-Centric Focus

Instead of just weight loss, we emphasize muscle growth and fat loss. Our approach prioritizes body recomposition over simple weight reduction, ensuring you build and maintain muscle while losing fat.

Protein Prioritization

Many diets overlook the importance of proper fueling for muscle growth and fat loss. We prioritize adequate protein intake to support your body’s needs, helping you achieve your goals more effectively.

Education-Based

We go beyond exercise and nutrition to educate you on key factors like macronutrients, progressive overload, and the impact of cortisol and sleep. Our comprehensive approach ensures you understand and implement strategies for long-term success.

Why Does it Matter?

Disease Statistics

60% of adults have chronic diseases, with 40% having more than two.

Walking Benefits

For those under 60, walking 8-10k steps daily reduces premature death risk by 39%. For those over 60, 6-8k steps cut the risk by 50%.

Health Risk Factors

Poor nutrition, inactivity, and excessive alcohol are primary causes of chronic diseases.

Exercise Impact

Just 150 minutes of exercise per week (30 minutes a day) significantly lowers the risk of chronic illnesses.

Cancer Risk Reduction
