Are you a mature athlete or fitness-minded person who is tired of shirtless, self-professed Instagram "fitness gurus" with their algorithm-conscious vanity posts? Do you cringe at their broad declarations, lacking any substantive evidence to support their claims or any ability to consider whether you’re a runner, a bodybuilder, or a martial artist before barking out the "bro-science" they tell you to follow? Dan's research area of interest in his master's program (exercise physiology and sports nutrition) focused on over 50 athletes. His capstone CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) certification combines with daily field experience training older athletes since 1998 to help them achieve their optimal conditioning. This includes teaching older athletes how to maximize productive strength while minimizing excess body fat, reduce injury risk caused by mobility limitations, overtraining, and redundancies, and eat in a way that stabilizes blood sugar while maximizing muscle synthesis and retention. His background uniquely positions him to provide you with realistic, practical, and sustainable programs to achieve and maintain peak conditioning in your 50s and well beyond. His ongoing sources of continuing education include the work of the ISSN (premier sports nutrition research organization), the NSCA (premier athletic strength and conditioning authority), and the work of Drs. Brad Schoenfeld, Asker Jeukendrup, Bill Campbell, Mike Israetel, Layne Norton, and Peter Attia, among other notable resources.

Brooke Elizabeth is an Inner-Healing Coach, who specializes in connection to self and spirituality. Her teachings center around self-discovery, self-worth, self-acceptance, and coming back to the root of who you truly are at your core, to become the outward expression of embodied authenticity and self-proclaimed power. Brooke's ultimate hope is for everyone to connect with themselves deeply, so that as many humans as possible can bridge the gap that separates us from ourselves and our inner knowing. In addition to her mission as a coach, she is an author, podcast host, reiki practitioner, yoga teacher, and NEDA (National Eating Disorder Awareness) affiliate.   When Brooke faced the impacts of her early childhood traumas as an adult, she felt lost, hopeless, and disconnected from her body. When she decided to seek out help for her mental health and begin the road to recovery from an eating disorder, something inside of her began to whisper. Little by little, a slight calling emerged from within, leading her to believe that her life was meant for so much more beyond the limitations and boxes she'd placed herself in. She made the radical decision to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so that she could learn to transform her trauma and pains into her purpose, into her power. This pivotal shift led Brooke down the path to where she is today, leading a life of connection to herself on the deepest level. By being willing to do the inner work and take the journey back home to herself, she now lives an empowered life that is limitless.   With a mission to help guide others to truly meet themselves fully and connect with the conscious understanding of innate internal worth, Brooke remains a trusted, authentic soul, highly admired by the people she touches the hearts of. Her mantra is "Know yourself, love yourself, trust yourself, discover yourself, meet yourself again and again because it all starts with you."
