There was a time when I found myself helping everyone else—being a father, pastor, hospice chaplain, and trainer/coach—while slowly letting myself go. I was stressed, borderline diabetic, and hypertensive. I told myself the lie that working out gave me permission to eat whatever I wanted “in moderation.” But deep down, I knew something had to change.
Recently, I said, “Enough is enough.” I recommitted myself to working out every day except Sunday. That’s right—when you’re over 45, exercise should be a part of your daily routine, and not just walking—weight training is essential. I started prioritizing self-care, returning to my authentic self, and letting go of the distractions that kept me from focusing on God first.
The biggest transformation came when I decided to lead by example. I became a health coach, but before taking on a single client, I joined the very program I now use to help others. The health coach got a health coach! With the guidance and mentorship of my coach, I adopted a new lifestyle that has truly changed my life.
Now, as a health coach, I have powerful tools to help others live well—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I’m not just telling people what to do—I’m living it.
If you’re ready to take charge of your health and want to work with someone who understands the struggle and the journey, I’d love to hear your story.
