Longevity Coach for Men 50+
" After burning out and watching my body age before its time, I committed to restoring vitality, focus, and drive—for myself and for other men 50+."
My Story: From Burnout to Breakthrough
I understand burnout because I’ve been there.
I left a high‑paying consulting job in Madrid and spent 15 years working for big humanitarian aid groups like the UN, UNICEF, and the Red Cross, helping people in disasters.
The work was meaningful, but I pushed myself too hard and ignored my own health—until I finally learned that you have to take care of yourself before you can really help anyone else.
Hitting Rock Bottom
Humanitarian work was meaningful, but it came with a heavy price: tropical diseases, security scares, near‑death moments, anxiety, PTSD, exhaustion—and finally degenerative disc disease.
Ten years in, I was bedridden, dependent on painkillers, my digestion shut down, depressed, and completely lost. The worst part was I’d seen the burnout coming and told myself I could push through—until my body simply couldn’t anymore.
Reconstructing Myself
Our medical system kept me alive, but it couldn’t show me how to truly heal. After months of physio, my pain always came back, and the only answers I heard were more rest and more pills.
So I took charge. I overhauled my life with better nutrition, smart supplements, quality sleep, hydration, daily yoga, and meditation—testing everything and keeping what worked. Within a year I was about 95% pain‑free, and today that last 5% only shows up when I slip on sleep, movement, stress, or nutrition.
