Coaching

I coach the way I'd want to be coached.

Evidence-grounded, unapologetically direct, and built around your biology — never a template. Today there are two ways to work with me, and both run through my partnership with Jay Campbell.

Performance Optimization Coaching Certification

Jay Campbell's magnum opus — I'm its chief author and Lead Coach. 15 modules, 107 sections, the full method taught and credentialed. For coaches, serious practitioners, and highly motivated individual optimizers who want the whole system.

Educational coaching, not medical advice. My own programs may open in a later phase.

How I coach

Principles I run on.

I bring the analytical framework of a 33-year consultant, the lived experience of a competitive athlete, and three years of elite mentorship in optimization. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Evidence-grounded

Every recommendation is graded by how strong the evidence actually is — proven floors before promising edges.

Built around your biology

Your labs, your history, your goals. No templates — the protocol fits you, not the other way around.

Unapologetically direct

Honest feedback, clear priorities, and the hard calls made early. I coach you like I’d want to be coached.

Not from a distance

I run the same protocols I coach.
