About Me
Hi, I’m Joel Perez
National Board Certified Health Coach & Chronic Illness Breakthrough Coach
I help driven parents and professionals who’ve tried “everything” — break through stubborn weight, low energy, and chronic symptoms using functional, science-based strategies that actually work.
My Health Journey
My interest in health started early. At age 13, I began bodybuilding to prepare for high school tackle football and stayed active in multiple sports throughout high school.
Like most people, my own health has had its peaks and valleys. During the lows I gained significant weight, lost confidence, and felt drained despite working hard in every area of life. Pushing myself stricter and following generic “eat less, move more” advice from doctors only left me more exhausted. Popular health trends also clashed with what I understood from science — yet the results kept disappointing me.
Frustrated, I used my science background to research deeper. That journey led me to the Paleo approach and eventually to functional health principles. With an experimental mindset and support from my coaches, I finally achieved sustainable results and regained my health.
How I Help Clients
Today I specialize in helping people who’ve tried everything “right” without success — especially those dealing with chronic illness, stubborn weight, low energy, and the “dad bod” struggle. As a Chronic Illness Breakthrough Coach, I help clients move beyond plateaus by focusing on their strengths, what’s already working, and creating elegant, personalized solutions to complex health challenges.
I’m a dad who understands these struggles firsthand. I’m not perfect, but my training is top-tier. I’m an Adapt Certified Functional Health Coach through the world-class Kresser Institute, and I bring the same problem-solving skills I used as a biologist (Loyola Marymount University) to help clients find clarity and lasting progress.
