About Jared

I haven't just been teaching ambitious people how to reach their greatest levels of health, I've been doing it myself for years.

But I wasn't always passionate about health. I used to be an overweight, depressed workaholic on diet pills. Everything changed when I hit rock bottom and finally realized it's not supposed to be like this.

We're not meant to be irritable, sluggish and living in cubicles. We are here to be nimble, fit, agile, lean and happy. We are here to THRIVE.

I work 1-on-1 with adults, but my greatest passion is the health of our children. I see this generation of kids reliving our same patterns, and still without the wisdom we were deprived of growing up.

My mission is to give all my clients the tools to feel their absolute best, navigate health on their own for a lifetime, and to then pass it all on to their children.

My Story

I grew up like a typical Suburban kid outside Chicago in the 90's. We had money, but no wisdom. Convenience without challenge. Food, and no tradition.

I watched my own family break apart, and I witnessed how unhealthy bodies = unhealthy minds = unhealthy relationships = unhealthy homes. Healthy homes are built on healthy habits, nutrition, and tradition.

By the age of 15 my parents were divorced, and I was miserable, anxious, and 30 pounds overweight.

Things didn't get better for me overnight. I pursued a career in professional basketball, and to this day have worked in the NBA for almost 15 years as an executive and talent scout.

Sounds glamorous, but happiness is not found through job titles or money.

Somewhere along the way I had the epiphany that putting so much energy outward is not the key to a happy, healthy life.

Only by giving our bodies and minds the simple queues to thrive, can we claim what is our birth right - optimal health.

After years being miserable, skinny-fat, and living life on autopilot, everything changed once I learned the pillars of ancestral health. My entire perspective on life shifted, I went from 22% body fat to 9%, and I have never felt so energized and happy.

My journey down countless books and teachings taught me how my lifestyle & nutrition was contributing to my anxiety. How we can't solve our problems with a magic formula, supplement, or pill. How health is rooted in our environment.

I took my education further by going back to school for a Health Coaching Certification at The Primal Health Institute - the field's gold standard.

My work with 4 different NBA franchises and around the world’s best athletes, executives, and sports medicine experts, gives me another unique perspective on performance, health, and leadership.

Now I’m here to teach it all to you… so you can teach it to your loved ones, children, and communities.
