Founder Adapt Grow Fitness & Ai Interdisciplinary Collective

I help men and women 35+ in Michigan get strong, lean, and energized again—using a powerful mix of personal training, medical-grade hormone optimization, and no-BS coaching that actually works.
For men, I specialize in TRT-fueled fitness transformations—restoring muscle, confidence, and energy when testosterone levels start tanking.

For women, I coach peptide-supported fat loss programs designed specifically for the hormonal chaos of the late 30s to mid-40s—helping you drop 20+ pounds, boost metabolism, and feel in control of your body again.

I offer real, personalized transformation programs backed by medical diagnostics, smart coaching, and unmatched accountability.

This isn’t about quick fixes or motivation posters—it’s about finally fixing the root cause of why your body stopped responding… and giving you the roadmap to take it back.

✅ In-person coaching available in Michigan
✅ Virtual programs with integrated doctor referral + bloodwork
✅ 8–12 week high-performance programs for serious clients only

If you’re a professional in your late 30s or 40s and tired of guessing, suffering, or stalling—I got you.

Another beautiful and poignant Remembrance Service at Kranji War Memorial, hosted by The British High Commission in partnership with the Singapore Armed Forces Veterans' League (SAFVL) today. We paused to remember the Armed Forces, their families as well as the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives because of conflict or terrorism.
