Meet Dr. Jeff
Edit

Health Coach TrainingMy story begins at least the part of my story that you would be interested in hearing starts in 2008 as a 350 pound out of work, laid off construction worker.
You read that correctly 350 POUNDS! I could barely bend over to tie my boot laces. In fact I couldn’t!
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Horrible acid reflex
Digestive issues
Constipation
Sleep apnea
Diagnosed with a fatty liver (go figure right)
Certainly on my way to diabetes and an early grave, with a beautiful 3 year old adopted daughter and my wife of 15 years.
So how does one drop over 100 pounds and reverse high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflex, sleep apnea and hedge off diabetes?
I’ll give you the short version and the long version. The short version first.
I made some very simple long-term changes in my life. This didn’t happen overnight.
Did I try losing wait before? Of course I did. Did it work? My results where the same as most everybody else’s, Some diets I tried did work, but only short term, I would gain it all back plus some, then others, no success at all.
And there are very specific reasons for that cycle.
So why did it work this time?
I applied correct knowledge. Knowledge is only power when applied.
This brings us to the long story.
Everything I’m about to share with you, you do not have to do. So far I’ve spent 5 years in school and still going so you don’t have to. I will share with you the things I’ve learned.
It all starts with the Health History provided on this website.
In 2008 I attended a wellness seminar, out of work, obese and diseased wondering what the heck am I doing. A Health and Wellness Lifestyle
There is more to this story it’s just hard to share…(there’s a long pause here)…in 2007 I lost everything. When the housing market crashed I lost my house, my truck was repossessed and at the age of 38 with my wife of 14 years and a 2 year old daughter I moved back in with my parents. That’s a hard pill to swallow.
So in 2008 I find myself at a wellness convention. Out of work, Homeless, broke, obese and diseased and living with my parents.
I can’t remember anything significant about the seminar other than, that is where is met Dr. Lou a Naturopath. He was from North Carolina. During the lunch break, this seminar provided a very nice catered lunch, and I just happened to sit next to Dr. Lou. We had a great conversation about the current condition of the medical community, my health conditions as well as the health and wellness of people in general. The lies and the things we are unaware of that keep us fat and unhealthy. We also discussed my personal jobless situation.
During our conversation I expressed my desire to regain my health and if I could learn some truths about health and wellness I would love to be able to share that with other people.
During our whole conversation I had no clue he was a Doctor of Naturopathy. In classic fashion of all great conversationalists he was more interested in me, there for most of our conversation was about me.
Well lunch was over and it was time to rejoin the conference, he handed me his card and said we’ll talk more afterward. Looking at his card is when I discovered he was a Doctor of Naturopathy.
At the end of the seminar I seeked him out and he encouraged me to pursue a wellness career. Now put this in perspective, I’m obese and diseased! And this guy tells me to pursue a wellness career! Because of the condition I was in I did not see that for myself, but he did not see me as I was, he saw me as what I could become! He saw my desire to get well and possibly help others to do the same and that’s all it took for him.
All you need is desire and a good coach. You have a good coach.
Just as I needed and had a coach to help me see beyond where I was and encourage me, so will you.
When we have our sessions you will enjoy the same treatment. A coach who has developed the skills to be a great listener! A coach who believes in you, understands where you are, because he’s been there, and sees you for where you what to be! Because I know it’s possible! I did it!
After Doctor Lou and I had our conversation and exchanged contact information we parted ways and went home. He went to North Carolina and I went to Ohio. My life would never again be the same.
A few days later I got an email from Dr. Lou with all the enrolment information from Trinity school of Natural Health for their Doctor of Naturopathy program.
By this time through the efforts of Dr. Lou’s coaching I was very encouraged. So I contacted the school discovered I was able to make monthly tuition payments and by this time I was working part time as a school bus driver and living with my parent so this afforded me the tuition but nothing more. Dr. Lou mailed me his school books one at a time each class at a time to barrow because after paying the tuition each month I could not afford my own.
This is another attribute of great coaches once they see you have made a significant commitment and investment in yourself in the direction of your goals they go above and beyond to help you with your success.
In my 6 month personal coaching program you will receive many perks and freebees to help you achieve your success.
During my Naturopathy courses I learned many holistic, natural ways of helping myself and other people regain their heath but one thing was evident. It doesn’t matter what modality I chose to help you regain your health. If you’re putting poison down your neck 3 times a day it will be short lived. I wanted long term solutions.
So I started looking deeper into nutrition and one thing became very clear. Nobody really agrees with anybody when it comes to diet and nutrition.
People with what I call the credentials of trust, all contradicting each other. It’s a mess.
So I decided to enroll in nutrition school and thank goodness I chose the institute for integrative nutrition.
They explain why there are so many diets, so many opinions and so many experts disagreeing with each other. It’s because of bio-individuality! One persons cure is another person’s poison! Your program must be tailored to you!
With that said there are universal principles that work for everyone but there are also things that must be tailored.
I’ve gotten off my personal story a bit so let me bring it back and conclude it.
I simply lost over 100 pounds reversed all my conditions by implementing very subtle simple changes over time.
Hence the significance of a 6 month program.
Very small simple subtle changes over a 6 month period will transform your live.
I will have no problem helping you achieve this because I have already done the same for myself.
Once you realize that nothing heals you. There is nothing out there that can heal you! The body heals itself!
This is a truth that can liberate!
Once you take the mystery away, the fog lifts.
The natural state of the body is health. The body was designed by the Creator to maintain health and vitality. It was not designed to be diseased. Disease is a condition we force the body into.
Once you start supplying the body with the environment and nutrients it was designed to work with things begin to correct themselves. It’s automatic!
Your mouth is the entrance of the outside world into your body. What you put into your mouth literally is what your blood is made up of and literally affects in real time your genes.
So there ya have it, my story from a road of obesity, disease and early death to health and wellness, and learning the value of a coach and mentor through Dr. Lou has allowed me to turn and do the same for others.
me to turn and do the same for others.
