Losing fat is the first step toward avoiding chronic diseases and anti-aging. I can help you get progress in 5 to 7 weekly 1-hour coaching sessions.
My approach….
My background…
How did I earn my IRONMAN title in 2019/09 at the age of 59 after 10 years of injury-free races in triathlon and marathon, free of any diseases, under zero medication, and at the same time hold full-time senior management jobs at two of the largest corporations in Taiwan, including one Fortune Global 100 company? You can read more about my story by following one of the links at the end of this article. Key point: The story is not about my athletic accolades. Rather, it’s a proof of how an optimal state of health enables an old man to thrive under external and internal stressors – ultra-endurance sports and chronological ageing. WIth improvements in diet and lifestyle that I can empower you to make, imagine how much healthier you can get without the stressors imposed by ultra-endurance sports and/or if you are 10 or 20 years younger than I am.
Even if you have curated sufficient information from today’s leading anti-aging scientists and functional medicine doctors, like I did, humble gaols such as losing 5% body fat may still be hard to reach. Why? Because information alone rarely moves a person. Change in behaviour and mindset is key. That’s where a health coach is most helpful, in ways anti-aging scientists, medical doctors, and registered dietitians are not trained in their professions to guide and support you.

Coaching engagements with me typically consist of 5 to 7 weekly 45-60 minute sessions on ZOOM and in English only. (My service will be expanded to include Mandarin in 2021). I already have four “practice clients”, two in the U.S., one in Singapore and one in Taiwan. I have the capacity to take a few more.
Coach Denys in Taiwan
Note 1: This does not mean health coaches do not posses or share health/diet information with the clients. In ADAPT HCTP, we are trained to be on the same page (hence cooperate) with medical doctors and dieticians in regards to knowledge in functional health. We may not have mastered some medical science as in-depth down to the cellular-biological level, yet we most likely are more experienced in helping the clients adapt to the recommendations from the doctors and dieticians. Sharing information is expected. But we are trained to be prudent when sharing information, as sharing too much information too soon can get into the way a coach help the client make the change.

Instead of having us talk about ourselves, why don’t we see what our clients have to say.
I am currently in the 11th month of the ADAPT Health Coach Training Program, an NBHWC-approved training course (NBHWC stands for “National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching”). I already finished the pre-practicum in June, 2020 and am approaching the end of the practicum phase, when our focus is on practicing with clients. So I am offering my coaching as a free service to my “practice clients” until I finish the one-year program at the end of November, 2020.
If you or someone you know is interested in working with me to improve health with a functional-medicine-based approach, be it just to lose some fat in a sustainable way in the short term or, for a longer-term goal, to stay away from chronic diseases toward an extended healthspan (i.e., healthy lifespan), please fill in and submit your information in the form at the top of this page. I will get back to you by e-mail within 24 hours.
Thank you.
