Brian Downer CHHC
FOUNDER Wellness Warrior Academy
Hi there! My name is Brian. I'm a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, IIN Certified Health Coach and a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I work with individuals looking to improve their overall health and performance through positive lifestyle changes. Through the years, I've helped many clients optimize body composition and manage their chronic disease conditions. I'm a firm believer and advocate of an ancestral way of eating. This provides the foundation to healthy changes by reducing inflammation, chronic stress, blood sugars /insulin levels and preventing many of the disease processes seen in our modern culture.
I started this journey years ago, as I battled blood cancer. After undergoing surgery and radiation therapy, I was determined to put this disease into remission. Through researching the scientific and medical literature, I discovered steps I could take to prevent cancer from returning. Rather than relying only on the medical orthodoxy, I had to take control of my own health. Through this process, I was lead down the path towards health coaching. I had a yearning to help others transform their lives. When I first started this practice, I would focus only on the physiology. Now I take a more metaphysical approach to health, working with the energetic body, as well as working with the physical vehicle. This duelistic approach helps to address the "whole self."
Being a successful health coach is about neutrality, not ego. There is no right or wrong choices; it's about self discovery and finding out what your body is trying to convey. Everyone has unique needs and responds differently to diet and lifestyle factors. My health plans and counseling techniques are tailored to meet individual needs, schedules and lifestyles. I will do everything I can to help you reach your full potential!
