About Charles D’Angelo:

Charles D’Angelo knows all about overcoming perceived difficulties and limitations – including those we put on ourselves – and finding the way to success. 

By anyone’s standard and in every area of life, Charles is a success. He has a flourishing business. He’s financially secure. He has found the love of his life. He’s tall, lean, attractive and incredibly fit. He’s confident and self-assured. He’s an accomplished author, and he has been endorsed by such luminaries as President Bill Clinton, Anthony Robbins, Mark Hyman and more. Most important, he is happy.

But at one time, Charles was miserable. He was morbidly obese, weighing 360 pounds by the time he was a teen. He was bullied and emotionally abused by his peers. His family was poor. His mother was addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol, and his father was rarely there. Finally making the choice to take control of his life, he lost 160 pounds of pure fat and discovered a world of health and vitality. He learned to listen to God, and in doing so developed a life far beyond his wildest dreams.

Charles became the first in his family to get a college degree, and while still in school, he began teaching others how to reach their weight-loss goals by tapping into their inner power. Before long his name spread, and he was helping everyone from CEOs, Hollywood stars and Washington bigwigs to teenagers and stay-at-home moms,

Now Charles can look back and see how God has continually put everything in his path to make his dreams come true and fulfill his mission to help others, but it was not always so obvious. He could easily have been controlled by his own fears and self-doubt, and at one time he was. Charles understands how our own perception can prevent us from seeing what’s right in front of us. Nothing is more important to him than to help as many people as he possibly can to listen to the voice of God within them, develop their mindset and do as he did, creating a phenomenal life.

Charles lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his love and life partner, Crystal.
