Who I've helped
"Before working with Anthony, I experienced severe neck pain and many asthma flare-ups. Additionally, I felt sluggish and unbalanced physically & nutritionally.
I thought this was going to be the way of life as one ages. Therefore, inhalers, Tylenol, and massage therapy became part of my routine regimen. During severe episodes of asthma, rounds of antibiotics, steroids, and breathing treatments were required. It was around the same time when I sadly retired a set of 8-pound dumbbells after an initial misuse (not knowing what I was doing, I had strained my neck and back). After consulting with Anthony, he assured me that I would graduate past the 8-pounders. Due to my lack of skills and strength, I was initially skeptical about what progress could be made. With Anthony’s expertise, coupled with commitment to consistency, I am finding myself exceeding expectations.
Due to targeted exercises and breathwork these past two years, the neck pain that required regular visits to the chiro ceased to exist, and I have rarely needed the use of an inhaler. There has been significant improvement relating to asthma symptoms as I have not needed to take any antibiotics, steroids, or breathing treatments. I feel stronger, more fit, and tone.
Undoubtedly, I would not have been able to achieve any of this on my own so I am eternally grateful for Anthony. Overall, training with him can only be described as a life-altering journey!"

"It’s difficult to express how unique Anthony’s skill set is compared to other professionals I have worked with. Other health professionals stay in one domain and have many blind spots. Anthony has a comprehensive vision and skillset of many things related to health, and some I wasn’t expecting. His level of detail and attentiveness allowed me to see things that I would have otherwise overlooked.
Before working with Anthony, I was sleeping 4-5 hours a night, highly stressed, addicted to nicotine, and starving myself until the end of the day. My diet was not consistent or sustainable, which were things I never thought I could change.
After a few years of us working together, everything has changed. I am breathing with ease, and my nervous system and gut are flowing more freely. I sleep… And I let go of the biggest crutch in my life so far, nicotine. My diet has completely changed, and most importantly it supports my active lifestyle and I can easily do it.
While I initially came to Anthony to build strength after years of only running and yoga practice, I achieved that and so much more. At first, it was hard to believe some of the changes he suggested would make such an impact on my life, but I can say these very things have transformed my life."

"I attended a presentation by Anthony on stress and nutrition after retiring from a demanding career followed by several years as the primary caregiver for elderly parents, all while trying to deal with my own chronic health issues.
When I met Anthony, I was underweight and living with self-imposed limitations due primarily to poor gut function. I had lost confidence in myself and, frankly, was running on fumes. Anthony and I met for what I expected to be a nutritional consultation. I left the meeting not only with a plan to do a gut reset through diet modification, but also having made a commitment to start weight-training one-on-one with Anthony in order to gain 18 pounds. Within six months I’d met our weight gain goals and was stronger than I’d ever been, dead-lifting double my body weight.
My mood, outlook, and full range of human function were significantly improved. My gut responded to the diet reset and I was able to add back many of the foods that once bothered me. My GI function had become predictable and I was able to get back to living my life without restriction. I also learned breath and mindfulness techniques I can use when issues do arise. I should add that after I started working with Anthony, I gained the self-worth needed to seek out professional support to address other challenges and am finally living what I believe to be my best life.
Anthony’s practical and powerfully optimistic approach to his work, along with my disciplined commitment to do my part, was the beginning and essential driver in getting my life back on track. Plus, hanging with Anthony is just a really good time!"

"There are things that weren’t even possibilities in my mind before working with Anthony. My doctor seems perplexed by my blood tests. I couldn’t be more amazed at what’s still possible with all my prior diagnoses."

"What's different about working with Anthony from other health professionals is that he has a deep knowledge of both the physical and mental aspects of training and health. I grew up a multi-sport athlete but never learned how stress affects and manifests in the body.
After working with Anthony I've been compelled to change the way I approach both training and recovery, including using some of the breathing techniques that he has recommended to me.
He also does a great job of providing safety and support from the mental side, which I didn't realize can so strongly affect how I'm performing as an athlete. With his help, I've been able to make a big difference in the way that I feel while I'm training and in my day-to-day life."
