Helping men upgrade their health, performance, and lifestyle through faith-driven discipline.

Build the habits, structure, and identity that support the man you’re becoming.

What Integrative Coaching Actually Is

Integrative health coaching isn’t about motivation hacks, shortcuts, or one-size-fits-all plans. It’s about building a high-performing life from the inside out—mind, body, spirit, and habits working together.

My coaching is rooted in the 8 Pillars of Health & Performance: Think, Train, Lead, Feel, Fuel, Live, Connect, and Recharge. We use these pillars to upgrade how you think, how you operate, and how you show up daily. This is not a program where I hand you a list of tasks and disappear.

This is strategic, faith-backed lifestyle architecture. Together, we design the habits and systems that match your values, your goals, and the standard you want to live at. We attack one pillar at a time, stacking wins that sharpen your mind, strengthen your body, and elevate your lifestyle. The goal is simple: help you operate like the man God created you to be—disciplined, resilient, and fully aligned.

About Me

I’ve lived the gap between who you are and who you know you’re supposed to be.

After serving in the Marine Corps, I got out and quickly lost my sense of direction. I drifted. I drank more than I should. I let my standards drop. I gained weight, lost purpose, and stopped recognizing the man staring back at me.

Changing my life started with rebuilding discipline—but it didn’t stop there.
I had to confront deeper wounds, unlearn old mindsets, and re-align my values with the life I wanted to lead. Once I committed to that work, everything shifted: my health, my confidence, and my entire trajectory.

That journey led me to the University of Health & Performance, where I gained the tools and frameworks to help other men do the same—men who want more than quick fixes, and who are ready to build a lifestyle that reflects their faith and their calling.

Today, through Kill’n It Coaching, my mission is clear:
Help men elevate their health, performance, and lifestyle through faith-driven discipline and integrative coaching—so they can lead themselves, lead their families, and live lives worthy of their God-given potential.

15/366 run thoughts: this running isn’t to get ripped or shredded.

It’s about being consistent and keeping the promises to myself.

#runningeveryday #strava #dreadmill #duespaid #veteran

We get too caught up in trying to prove how hard we can work by pileing more shit onto our plate.

We want to be productive, but confuse it with being “busy”
Full schedule but at the end of the day and at night don’t feel like we accomplished anything.

Slowing down isn’t going to wreck your performance, keeping the pedal to the ground will.

Stop burning up your clutch and learn how to shift up in gears, but also downshift when you need to.

Need to learn how to drive your car?

Comfort feels good… until it costs you everything.

We’ve made life so easy that struggle feels optional —
and that’s exactly why so many people feel stuck, tired, and disconnected.

This week, I’m going LIVE with @joe to talk about:
Why comfort is the new addiction
How it quietly kills confidence and discipline
And what it actually takes to reclaim your edge

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what most people avoid.

📍 LIVE: Thirsday at 8pm est / 5pm pst
Bring an open mind — and some honesty.

#veteran #menshealthcoach #integrativehealthcoach

It’s not about being a badass.
It’s about doing the work you know you have to do.

Stop making excuses and take action.

Why are most treadmills bad at the 1 job they have?

#menshealth #running #strava #runningeveryday

If you need motivation to get out of bed, your why isn’t strong enough.

Motivation fades. Values don’t.

Most people don’t quit because it’s hard — they quit because their goals aren’t tied to who they are.

Losing weight sounds good. Starting the business sounds good. But when it’s not connected to your values, it becomes optional.

Take 5 minutes today. Why are your goals your goals? And what are you doing today to move toward them?

Clarity creates discipline.

My wife is a rockstar.

Due to several reasons, @drkristamorton hasn’t ran in over 2 years. When I started on this run every day journey, I wanted to do something that would challenge me and help me get uncomfortable.

Little did I know it would inspire my wife to push herself too.

Moving your body isn’t always about running the fastest, farthest, or lifting the most. Most of the time it’s being better than who you were yesterday.

So men, challenge yourself. Because you don’t know who is going to go along with you on your journey.

One of our couples goals this year was to do one dining experience each month. When we go out to eat, we typically go to the same 2 to 3 spots. So this is a fun way to go on dates while also trying new places.

Honestly, my favorite part about the evening was the intentional time to connect. With only being 10 days into the new year, we were able to have a good check in to see where we were at already and what our goals are for the month, how we can support each other and pick up where we need help.

As for the dining experience, @blacksheep.gvl was a great first stop. The design and decorating of the restaurant was really cool and eclectic. They have a rotating menu of different Mediterranean cuisines that you can choose from. Krista loved her chicken dish, while I took a chance with the rack of lamb.

Fellas, don’t forget to date your wife. It’ll mean way more than what you know.

10/366 run tip:

If you want to increase your running capability, do a ”pole to pole” run.

You can set the intervals to whatever you want, but run to one light pole, then sprint to the next and put that on repeat.

You could also scale it back by walking one, running one, sprinting one and repeating that way

Most men say they’re tired. What they’re really dealing with is mental fatigue.

Better sleep didn’t just give him more energy — it gave him clarity. And when you calm the nervous system, the body follows.

If you want simple tools that actually move the needle, send me a message and let’s talk.

#running #veteran #menshealthcoach #strava

Weakness doesn’t happen overnight.
It’s built slowly, through what we tolerate.

The food we eat.
The comfort we chase.
The distractions we allow.
The responsibility we avoid.

No one is coming to save us from that.
Strength is rebuilt by choosing differently — daily.

Motivation comes and goes. 
Structure stays.

- How am I going to continue this streak while at work? Should I run before or after work? Do I have time to do it during my lunch break? How would that look?

- How is my back going to hold up? It’s already getting pretty stiff on day 2. I’ll need to add in my stretching and mobility for sure.

- Hopefully getting Bodie into running is going to help him calm the fluff down and hopefully get him to stop growling at me.

I’d be lying if taking this on didn’t intimidate me. But that why we set goals, to push ourselves. 👊🏼

#integrativehealth #running #veteran #menscoach

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

If nothing changes, 2026 will look a lot like 2025. 
That’s why reflection matters. Not to beat yourself up — but to be honest.

What habits helped you grow? What habits kept you stuck?

Discipline isn’t built by doing what you want. 
It’s built by doing what you don’t want to do — consistently — until it becomes who you are.

#veteran #menshealthcoach #integrativehealthcoach

Goals don’t slip because you didn’t want them bad enough. 
They slip because they weren’t in front of you long enough.

Write them down. See them daily. Visualize where you’re going until it feels familiar.

And if you’re honest enough to admit you don’t need more motivation — you need direction — let’s talk. 
A discovery call isn’t about pressure. It’s about clarity.

#veteran #menshealthcoach #integrativehealthcoach

New year. Same you? Or a stronger version built on discipline, identity, and alignment?
 Most goals don’t fail because they’re too big. They fail because they’re built on motivation instead of systems and identity.
 On our New Year’s Eve live, we’re breaking down: • Why goal setting usually falls apart by February • How to set goals that match who you’re becoming • The power of small wins and daily discipline • How to build habits that actually stick • Why progress doesn’t need perfection—it needs execution
 If you’re done restarting every January, this live is for you.

Identity first. Habits second. Results follow.
 Join us live and start the year with clarity—not hype.

A week in review.

Happy Birthday Krista, Jesus, and Ray!

Most people listen just long enough to respond.
That’s listening to answer.

Listening to speak is different.
You slow down. You hear the emotion, not just the words.

You catch the keywords, the patterns, the meaning underneath what’s being said.

That’s where real connection happens.
That’s how conversations become thoughtful, intentional, and actually transformative.

Presence speaks louder than the perfect reply.

#veteran #menshealthcoach #integrativehealthcoach

If your energy dies every afternoon, it’s not a character flaw. It’s a signal your body is sending.

Most crashes come from simple habits — not lack of discipline. Fix the inputs and your energy follows.

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife, dog mom, healer, best friend, ER driver, best friend, DOCTOR, and more ❤️

I love you so much Suggy Bear!❤️

Stress doesn’t mean something is wrong — it means your nervous system is asking for direction. That’s why I use STOP when things feel off. 
Slow the body.
Touch thumb to finger.
Oxygen in on the way up, out on the way down.
Present again in under 30 seconds.

One hand. Five breaths. Control restored. This is how you lead yourself before reacting to the world.

If you want more simple, effective techniques like this, send me a message and let’s get to work.

#veteran #menshealthcoach #integrativehealthcoach

Discipline isn’t something you borrow — it’s something you uncover.

This is why I coach the way I do. 
Not forcing you into my system, but helping you lead better as a man, a father, and a husband from the inside out.

#veteran #menshealthcoach #integrativehealthcoach

Your brain doesn’t just reward comfort.
It rewards doing hard things on purpose.

When you choose to do something you don’t want to do, your body releases an extra hit of dopamine — a built-in pat on the back that says keep going.

That’s why discipline builds momentum.
That’s why hard choices rewire confidence.
And that’s why avoiding discomfort keeps you stuck.

You’re not broken — your biology is waiting for you to lead it.

Most men don’t get to see their wives before they go to work.

We don’t have conversation with them we get up (hopefully go to the gym) and then are gone for the next 8 to 12+ hours.

next time when you get to work, I want to challenge you to send a voice message to your wife praying for her.

I promise you, this is going to be way more and back though than you think.

Fix sleep + food + training first — fat loss follows
This isn’t about “boosting” testosterone. It’s about removing what’s suppressing it.

Here are 5 things quietly killing it — and how to fix them:
• Poor sleep → No deep sleep = no hormone production Aim for 7–9 hours, consistent bed/wake times, dark + cool room
• Chronic stress → High cortisol suppresses testosterone Slow down, lift heavy, breathe, get outside, create recovery on purpose
• Ultra-processed food → Inflammation blocks hormone signaling Eat real food: protein, healthy fats, minerals, quality carbs
• Sitting all day → No demand = no drive Resistance train 3–5x/week, move often, prioritize strength
• Excess body fat → Testosterone converts to estrogen 
You don’t need more discipline. You need better systems, recovery, and alignment.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start rebuilding your health the right way, DM “READY” and let’s get to work.

Big change doesn’t start with big moves.
It starts with small wins—done daily.

On the live, we talked about how real transformation isn’t about perfection… it’s about getting the reps in.

Simple things:
• When your alarm goes off → 3, 2, 1… get up
• Water before caffeine to set your body right
• Set an alarm and label it “Gratitude”
• Habit stack while brushing your teeth
• Use “I am” statements to reinforce who you’re becoming

These aren’t flashy habits.
They’re identity builders.

Small wins create momentum.
Momentum creates confidence.
Confidence creates change.

You don’t run a mile by stepping out the door first.
Sometimes the first step is setting the alarm or buying the shoes.

Progress doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just needs to get done.

If this hit home, save it.
And ask yourself: what’s the small win I can execute today?

Burnout isn’t cured by more grind, more caffeine, or more willpower.
It’s healed by rebuilding who you are, how you recover, and what you’re aligned to.

You were never meant to carry everything alone.
You were never meant to live depleted.
And you were never meant to define yourself by your past mistakes or current exhaustion.

Identity.
Recovery.
Alignment.
That’s the work.

If this post put words to what you’ve been feeling but couldn’t explain, you’re not broken — you’re just out of alignment.
Comment “RESET” or send me a DM.
Let’s rebuild this the right way.

Which one do you need most right now — identity, recovery, or alignment?

#menshealthcoaching #veteran #integrativehealthcoaching

Big change doesn’t come from big moments. It comes from small habits done consistently.

On December 16th, Joe and I from @elevate_health_coaching are going live to talk about how small, daily habits create massive impact in your health, performance, and life.

We’ll break down: • Why motivation isn’t the answer • How your environment shapes your behavior • The small habits that move the needle most • How to build consistency without burning out

This conversation is for anyone who wants sustainable change — not another reset or restart.

Set the reminder. Show up live. 
Bring your questions.
Small habits. Big impact.

After closing up my business, I didn’t know if I would get back into group fitness again. After 4 months of pondering, I looked into @thejunkyardfitness and haven’t turned back!

I signed up for my first class last December and right after I signed up they posted they were looking for coaches. On my first class I told @garrett_sayegh40 that I was interested in coaching, just to find out I was working out next to @marcusbrown8 . From there, the rest is history!

It has been so fun joining the community and really seeing the uniqueness that makes the Junkyard, the Junkyard.

Here’s too 100 classes taken, and onto 200!

Men, I know we want to help everyone else.
It’s in our nature as protectors and providers.

But if you are drained, irritated, or burnt out, what good are you to others?

In order to show up as our best self, we need to take care of ourself.

Physically- move your body, lift weights, run, whatever your modality for exercise is
Mentally- journal, breath work, read
Emotionally- talk about what’s in your heart
Spiritually- talk with God, read the Bible, pray

Doing these little tasks can go a long way.

#menscoaching #integrativehealthcoach #veteran

We keep telling ourselves we need more discipline, but most of the time… we just need a better environment.

If the junk isn’t in your house, you won’t eat it. If you surround yourself with men who are drifting, you’ll drift too.
 But if you walk with men who are driven, grounded, and chasing excellence — you’ll rise to their level.

Your body is an ecosystem. Your mind is an ecosystem. And every choice you make either builds that ecosystem or poisons it.

Slow down. Look around. Who are you standing next to? What are you allowing into your home, your habits, your head?

You don’t have to fight every craving or outwork every weakness. You just have to build an environment that matches the man you’re becoming.

If you’re ready to upgrade your health, mindset, and lifestyle with structure and accountability — I’m taking new clients. Send me a message and let’s get to work.

#menscoach #integrativehealthcoach #veteran

Brother, you’re not “weak.”  You’re working harder to push through, rather than giving yourself the rest you need.
 You try to “man up,” but you drift further from the man God is calling you to be.
Here’s how you start climbing out of this:

1. Slow down and get honest. Stop pretending everything is fine. It’s OK to not be ok.

2. Fix the basics before you chase intensity. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, sunlight, and movement. When the foundation is broken, nothing on top works.

3. Do ONE promise a day. Not five. One. Rebuild your confidence through small wins, not massive expectations.

4. Cut the noise. Less scrolling. Less overstimulation. More time alone with God. Clarity comes from quiet, not chaos.

5. Reconnect to purpose. Ask yourself: “Am I living like the man I’m called to be… or the man I’ve settled for?” 
Alignment starts with direction.
You don’t have to stay stuck. You don’t have to keep running on empty. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine when you’re not.
 If you want help getting your health, discipline, and purpose back on track, shoot me a DM and let’s talk about Integrative Health Coaching.

Have you struggled to make a change?
Have you tried to shape your identity and fall back into old patterns?

@elevate_health_coaching and I talk about that and more on our LIVE!
- how to shift your identity
- easy first steps you can take and questions to ask yourself
- the TBAR method
- and more!

#uhp #integrativehealthcoach #veteran

Most men try to fix their life from the outside in.
Train harder. Sleep more. Eat cleaner. Grind longer.
But if your spirit is off… everything else slips.

Your discipline drops.
Your clarity fades.
Your standards lower.
Your purpose feels blurry.
Your physical, mental, and emotional health are directly tied to your spiritual alignment.
You can’t separate the two.

When you get right with God, you start living from conviction—not convenience.
And that changes everything: your habits, your relationships, your discipline, your confidence, your direction.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck or spiritually disconnected, start with alignment.
Everything else becomes easier when the foundation is solid.
 If you want support strengthening your health, discipline, and faith all at once—shoot me a DM and let’s talk about Integrative Health Coaching.

Most men don’t fail because they lack discipline.
They fail because they’re still living as the man they USED to be.

This week we’re going LIVE with @elevate_health_coaching to break down the truth about identity and behavioral change — why you stay stuck, how to break your old patterns, and how to become the man you keep saying you want to be.

We’re covering:
🔥 Why you fall back into the same habits
🔥 How your identity controls your actions
🔥 The mindset shift every man needs
🔥 How faith and purpose anchor real transformation
🔥 Simple steps to start becoming THAT man today

If you’ve ever felt like you keep slipping back into the old you… this is your wake-up call.

Join us on December 3rd at 8pm EST, 5pm PST

If someone could bottle the effects of exercise, they’d be the richest person on earth.
But God didn’t design it that way.
He made movement the price of strength, clarity, confidence, and peace.

You want better mood?
Move.
You want more energy?
Move.
You want to lead your family with strength and presence?
Move.
You want to stop feeling stuck?
Move.

Training isn’t just about muscles — it’s medicine for the mind, the spirit, and the man you’re becoming.
Show up for yourself.
Put in the reps.

Your life will reflect it.

If you’re ready to take your health and performance to the next level, coaching is open — hit the link in my bio.

#menshealth #veteran #movementismedicine

Every day I have an alarm that goes off titled “Gratitude.”
Not because life is perfect, but because I need the reminder to slow down and acknowledge what God has already done.

Be grateful for yourself.
Be grateful for someone in your life.
Be grateful for something God has brought you through.

Gratitude shifts your perspective from “why me?” to “thank You.”

And when you practice it daily—your confidence, your joy, and your clarity all rise.

A disciplined man remembers what he’s been given.

What are you grateful for today?

Grateful for all of these people, places, and things.

🙏🏼
