Joel Perez Coaching

I am Joel Perez, I am a National Board Certified Health Coach and a life loving husband and father to a wonderful and rambunctious girl.

My earliest interests in health began at age 13 when I began body building and was preparing to participate in tackle football in the next school year. Being so young, I was easily able to integrate advice on health and nutrition, and I went on to successfully play many sports during my 4-year-High School career.

The specific relevant content for this request, if necessary, delimited with characters: As I grew up, like most Americans, my health had had many peaks and valleys. During many of my lows, I gained many pounds, and this of course was demoralizing.

It’s depressing to become unhealthy, especially when you put so much effort in all facets of your life. When this happens most people will likely try, like me, to be stricter and stricter with diet or what ever else, but that only resulted in me suffering more physically and emotionally.

Other than getting more strict with myself, I also attempted to get help from the legacy health care system. An expert, a Doctor, told me to eat less and move more. I felt betrayed. Doesn’t he know I already tried that, and if so was that yet another punch in the gut? I don’t know his intention but what I do know is that he was giving me everything he was trained to do.

It wasn’t only the advice I had been given that was hampering my health pursuits. My awareness of popular health opinions turned out to be contrary to my personal beliefs and contrary to how I understood the science. However, I still followed it despite the outcome.

At this point, I decided to use my science and health training to find a better solution. I researched extensively for a better way to diet, and this led me to find the paleo diet. The principals I came to learn made sense to me, and I decided that I needed to try it on myself to be sure. With this experimental mindset and also with the motivation from my coaches, I was able to help myself back to health.

When I work with clients, I know they are probably coming from attempt after attempt of doing the right things. We don’t dwell on mistakes. We do explore the things they are excellent at. Furthermore, we also talk about and build on what’s going right.

I am a dad, battling a dad bod. I’m not perfect, but my training was great. My health coach training was from the world-class Kresser Institute, I matriculated and since then I am an Adapt Certified Functional Health Coach.

Before becoming a coach, I was a working scientist. In my previous career, I used my generalist Biology training to bring a clearer sense to complex problems that others couldn’t solve. As a coach, I enjoy finding elegant solutions to messy problems. If you work with me, you will learn how to find elegant solutions to your own complex health issues.

If you are ready to begin your health journey, I invite you to book a one-on-one health coaching intro session. To find out more about what health coaching is, read this, or this.

Today I work with many people that have similar issues. I help them the way that my coaches helped me, with information and motivation. They regain health to what ever degree that is most helpful to them. They regain mental clarity, and they regain the feeling of being able to control their own health.

If you are still unsure beginning your journey with me then I invite you to sign up for my free online health rest course. By following the online-course, you can DIY yourself back to health with hopefully new information about health.

My hope is that the profile on myself gives you the confidence to try health coaching. Health coaching is only one tool to get back to health, but it’s the best one that I know of. You can ask around to other people you may know that have gotten health coaching, or look at my testimonials here.
