Partnering with You and Your Doctor for the Best Results
Throughout my life, I have been passionate about health and fitness. I started running at twelve and was a competitive and devoted runner in high school. After high school, I entered the U.S. Army and regularly achieved the maximum Army Physical Training test score. I left the Army to pursue a degree in Exercise Science and then re-entered the military to work at an Environmental Physiology and Medicine research facility.
Despite my lifelong dedication to health and fitness, I experienced health problems, including Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and signs of low testosterone. Through my journey and experiences, I have gained insight into the systemic problems that can prevent men from receiving adequate treatment for ED and other health issues. I am passionate about helping men to navigate these challenges and achieve optimal health outcomes.
As a Certified Clinical Sexuality Coach trained by Dr. Rachael Ross, M.D, Ph.D., and with extensive experience in health and fitness, I coach men to improve their sexual health. Health and fitness are essential components of this journey, and I aim to help men achieve optimal health through natural methods that don't rely solely on medication or medical treatments.
