At the age of seventeen I enlisted as a combat medic in the US Army, trained to provide emergency medical treatment in both combat and non-combat situations. I was also responsible to train other soldiers in first aid and support them and their family members who want to: manage chronic conditions, lose weight or improve their diet, increase physical activity, reduce stress, and improve their overall health and wellness. Today, I use that experience to take care of my own health and help those seeking taking control of their health and wellness.
