An aspect I rarely talk about when it comes to the SF Coaching Method is our work with men and while the vast majority of our work is with women, today's case study will hopefully resonate with anyone looking to optimize and thrive with their health.

I'll be taking you behind the curtain of one of our SF coaching method clients, what we were able to find that surprised even his cardiologist, what has shifted since we implemented new protocols, and how this applies to you!
