Christopher is the founder of Recovery Health Coaching. He helps clients recover from chronic illness, improve chronic pain, and deal with the limitations of their conditions. He does so with principles from neuroscience, behavior management, and personalized lifestyle and supplement approaches from a Functional Health perspective. He developed this system while reversing his 35 years of autoimmunity and severe neuropathic pain and successfully working in intensive one-on-one sessions with over 100 clients.

Christopher's personal journey includes conquering numerous conditions that plagued him for over 30 years, including interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic headaches, and severe neuropathy in 85% of his body. At his worst, the pain was so severe that he would stay awake for over 30 hours per wakeful cycle and relied on numerous medications including max-dose morphine and multiple muscle relaxers for nearly 10 years.

His recovery approach has been primarily meat-based for over 7 years, beginning with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in 2017 and then transitioning to a Keto diet. His comprehensive recovery also incorporated about 30 other interventions including lifestyle changes, mindset work, neuroscience techniques learned from former Mayo Clinic doctor Jim Lemons, and Functional Medicine principles.

Today, Christopher is medication-free and physically active, lifting weights 4-6 days per week, running sprints, and going bouldering regularly. He has restored his testosterone to optimal functional ranges after measuring below 200, lost significant weight (from 242 pounds to 160 pounds), and regained his former height after postural issues had left him three inches shorter during his 15 years of disability.

Christopher is currently developing two online courses focused on nervous system health and universal health principles, co-hosting the upcoming weekly podcast "Recover Your Health," and writing a book with Dr. Jim Lemons about using integrated principles to achieve optimal results with chronic health problems.
