Just Grinding is much more than physical movement, we base all of our work on these 7 Pillars of Wellness- Physical, Mental Wellness, Mental Toughness (Emotional Intelligence), Nutritional, Spiritual, Relationships and Financial. After countless years of my own training combined with The 7 Pillars and working with Championship Programs, I have developed a multi modality training program that works in a symbiotic relationship between the mental, the physical, proper fueling and recuperation providing the athlete with the best possible gains. I have trained players at the top of their game including NFL and NCAA Div 1 athletes.
I thought I was in peak physical condition, but something seemed to be holding me back. I didn't eat bad, I hydrated, mineralized, took vitamins and supplements and ate my veggies, but I didn't treat my nutrition, sleep and gut health as a priority. In 2007, I had a Patent Foramen Ovale and it scared me and my family to death. It almost took me there too, but I wasn't ready. I had unfinished business. To tell my story and help as many people as possible. The irony here is I almost died in The Gym. Seriously! Lucky for me, I had a great medical team and one of the best cardiologists in the world, just ask him, to diagnose and fix my broken heart. I had a small procedure to connect the deviate septum in my heart and I was back to my old tricks. Working out, but not truly understanding the benefits of additional modalities like sleep, nutrition and recuperation on my Wellness. My physical heart was fixed, but I needed help with my spiritual heart and brain recovery. Still to this day, the search is never ending. Learning and questing for modalities to help me stay in the light, to be happy and get the most out of my time here. Technology and science are getting better and better, which are providing more answers on brain trauma and means to support and aid in brain recovery. Slowly but surely, true wellness started to reveal itself to me. Still to this day I am a searcher. My life is a series of trails and successes, learning and finding the truth. It's somewhere in between. If you are willing, I can help you.
The Grind is much more than a full service Wellness Center. We work with athletes, young and old, getting them to their next level. We work with businesses on creating a corporate wellness structure for their employees. We work on Stress Management, Anxiety, Depression and Mental Health and provide guidance on Weight Management. In addition, we provide assistance with addiction. We work with any individual creating a plan for their wellness journey.
For the past 30 years, I have been on a quest. A quest to find answers to questions and issues I had about my own wellness and subsequently sharing them with you. My struggles with my mental health and my lack of modalities to deal with it, I learned to approach wellness in a way that encompasses the mind, body and spirit to bring my entire being into homeostasis. Balancing my soul with my ego, my body's chemistry and being balanced with my energy, grounding me to the Earth's abundance of power.
My mission is to help you find and personalized your wellness. To be your best mental, physical and spiritual self. The disclaimer! If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Wellness is as specific as your thumb print and your health is human kind's most precious commodity. Without it, we have nothing. The first step is to start. Once you start, it's on!
