I had weight issues throughout my entire life, until age 36..  As a sufferer of asthma through my childhood and up until the time I turned 25, I did not do much exercise when I was young.  (To learn how Chiropractic eliminated my asthma at age 25, see my bio uner "our staff.") I did not play sports or even go outside much due to the asthmatic attacks I regularly struggled with. 

My food choices were also not the best.  I did not eat vegetables of any kind whatsoever and what foods I did eat, I ate in huge portions.  The combination of tons of food and lack of activity got me up into the 190's in middle school and over 200lbs for most of my high school years. 

The weight issue did not end when my asthma did - when you have been lazy all your life, you don't run right out and start exercising just because you can breathe again.  Back then I really did not look at my weight as too big of a problem anyway, as I was young and not ready to take responsibility for my health.

My weight issues reached their worst at age 36, but something also happened that year, 2003, that would change my life forever.

My wife and I had a daughter in November of 2003.  She was born in our master bedroom with the assistance of a mid-wife.  When I held Sophia in my arms for the first time and looked into her deep blue eyes, one realization immediately leapt into my mind.  My father died at the age of 56, when I was only 15 years old.  I did not want Sophia going through all the emotional turmoil I did at losing my father at such a pivotal age, and I knew if I continued on the road I was traveling, chances were that could happen.  I also wanted to see Sophia grow up, grow older and I especially want one day to hold my own grandchildren, a joy my father never experienced. 

I decided I needed to get healthy and Sophia was all the motivation I required.  I read every book I could get my hands on that promised the "secrets" of getting healthy, losing weight and keeping it off.  I began implementing those things I researched that made sense logically and scientifically and, in the process of getting healthier I lost 115 lbs, 16 inches off my waist, and my body fat % plummeted from well over 40% down to 13%, all in less than 7 months!  The insights and wisdom I have gained studying and learning from many of the true masters in science, nutrition and fitness has transformed me into someone I never thought I could be, but desperately wanted to be.

You have probably heard it many times - "If I can do it, anyone can."  Well I am defnintely that saying's "poster boy."

Over the last several years I have coached so many northshore patients to the health and weight they want to achieve.  The only thing I cannot provide is the motivation.
