Hi, I'm Cody
I’m a doctor of physical therapy with 17 years of experience helping people of all walks of life get back to doing the things they love.
I’ve spent more time than most with people in theirs 70s, 80s and 90s.
I’ve seen some thriving late in life, traveling and still doing all the things that makes life worth living.
And I’ve seen far to many just waiting for the end to come.
I’ve heard a lot of life regrets along the way, but none have regretted the time and money they’ve spent to take care of their health.
Most of you financially invest in your future.
But what good is having the money if you don’t have your health to enjoy it.
However, if you invest a little time and energy into your health, your hard work will pay dividends for years to come.
Think of me as your personal health investment advisor.
Trying to figure out what to do can be overwhelming and exercising can be time consuming.
My mission is to take the mess of health, fitness and longevity information and make it easy to understand, actionable, and reasonably fit into your busy life.
Because healthy behaviors and exercise should support the things you love, not dominate your life.
My Philosophy
Play.
I believe your main focus should be on doing things you love. How you “play” is entirely up to you.
Play could be being outdoors, music, your work, spending time with family, a pickleball obsession, or more.
Regardless of how you “play,” knowing how your body works will help you do more of the things you love now and help you keep playing as late into life as possible.
Because living a long time is useless if you can’t do the things that makes life worth living.
Move.
Your body was made for movement. If you invest a little time, money, and energy into moving your body regularly it will pay off both now and decades from now.
If you know how your body works, you’ll be able to exercise in a way that supports your “play” while also improving your health and longevity.
You will also be able to get all of the amazing benefits of movement without spending so much time exercising that you don’t have time for anything else.
Recover.
Your body requires a balance.
Playing and exercise are often fun and we all want to do more. But if you don’t dedicate some time to recovery you can end up injured, frustrated, and feeling awful.
If you make recovery your superpower, you’ll be able to play more and feel better doing it.
You’ll also get far more benefit out of the time you spend exercising.
Like movement, if you find the right strategies, you won’t have to trade time doing what you love for recovery. A little bit done well can go a long way.
Who I Serve
I serve people who don’t want exercise and health routines to be a full time job.
I serve people who don’t believe that being 30, 40, 50, or 60+ means you have to accept feeling awful.
I serve people who want to figure out the 20% of actions that provide 80% of the improvements in health.
I serve people who want to spend more time doing the things you love and less time exercising.
Musicians
Playing Music at a high level is incredibly physical. Long hours of practice and rehearsals can take a toll on your body. It’s no wonder 80% of professional musicians experience an injury at some point. My mission is to make sure you aren’t one of them.
Tennis
Tennis and pickleball are two of my favorite ways to stay active. They are both life-long sports, if you can avoid getting injured. You can’t just play these sports to stay fit. You need to make sure you are fit enough to play.
Pickleball
I grew up in Boulder, CO and my parents met in an outdoors club. Being outside has always been a big part of my life. I’m no crazy mountaineer. I mostly like hiking and camping and camping with my family. Staying fit and healthy makes camping and hiking much more fun.
Knowledge Workers
In winter time, skiing is one of the most fun ways to stay active outdoors.
I grew up doing a mix of cross country and alpine skiing, and I still do a little of both.
The are quite different, but the thing both have in common is that the fitter you are, the more you can enjoy them.
Millennial/Gen X
I’m technically a “Xennial.” I’m right on the cusp of Gen X and Millennial.
Basically that means that I’m old enough now that if I don’t take care of my body, it complains.
I think that my 30s, 40s and 50s are a critical time period create good health habits, as well as a fitness surplus so that I’m well positioned to thrive later in life.
Family
I have a wife and two kids. One of my biggest priorities is to be able to keep up with my kids for as long as possible.
I don’t want to miss out on anything because my body is failing me.
And I want to be there and ready to play with and spoil grand kids at some point in the distant future.
