Hello:
My name is Russell Bostock. I’m a wellness professional focused on providing individuals with an action plan for mental and physical betterment. My coaching encompasses strength training, nutrition, sleep and stress management; full stop. Let’s change for the better, together.
“My journey began with countless struggles. I’ve made many mistakes along the way and learned from each one. It doesn't matter if you get knocked down nine times, as long as you stand up ten.” -RB
Let’s face it: with information being so abundant these days, it’s become increasingly difficult to understand the “right” way to create a healthy lifestyle. Should I consume several small meals? Fasting or time restriction? Keto? Low carb? Carnivore? Then we move on to building muscle and losing fat. Wait -- can you really do both of those at the same time? Should I lift lighter weights for more reps? HIIT over steady state cardio? Depending on where you’re browsing, you might find a variety of different opinions. This leads me to the next question: how do I decide?
Great question. The best answer is... that’s why I’m here! Working with an experienced coach/nutrition expert who can custom fit a program for you is essential to see through the noise. Every client is unique, which means there’s no “one size fits all” prescription for everyone. As per strength training/nutrition, I use a science-based practice when crafting my guides, coupled with a logical + systematic methodology for identifying individual food insensitivities.
