The Founder Coach Chris’ Story
Healthspan Habits was born from my personal journey of transformation—a journey marked by struggle, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to change. My background in philosophy in college and a lifetime of deep introspection have been invaluable, but it was my lived experiences that became the true catalyst for founding this company.
The Darkest Chapter
For years, I led a double life as a functioning yet deeply unhappy alcoholic. I poured myself into my startup mobile app tech company, working over 100 hours a week. On the surface, I appeared successful, but behind closed doors, I drowned my stress and emotions in alcohol and fast food, embracing a reckless, live-fast-die-young mentality.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, my world collapsed. I lost my company, my sense of purpose, and eventually, myself. In a fog of depression and victimhood, I sought comfort in hedonistic indulgences that only deepened my despair. I vividly remember waking up one morning—still drunk from the night before—and finding myself on the bathroom floor. When I managed to pull myself up and look in the mirror, I didn’t recognize the person staring back at me. I weighed roughly 250 pounds, a far cry from the 200 pounds I carried during my startup days. The more I lost—my business, self-control, and self-respect—the more I gained in weight and self-loathing.
The Turning Point
In that pivotal moment, I reached out to my higher power, God, and to my AA sponsor, a former FBI agent and federal prosecutor, Mike. I prayed for the strength to change, and with divine guidance and discipline, I began to rebuild. My first runs were humbling—painful jogs that left me winded and cramping after just a few minutes. But I refused to give up. One step at a time, I made forward progress. Consistency became my cornerstone.
The Transformation: From Rock Bottom To Rebirth
For years, I lived a reckless, hedonistic lifestyle, pouring myself into the high-end cocktail industry and my startup mobile app tech company, working long hours while drowning stress in alcohol, fast food, and cigarettes. I told myself I was “successful,” but in reality, I was self-destructing.
When COVID shut down my business, I lost everything—my career/business, my purpose, and my self-respect. I spiraled deeper, hitting 250 lbs, struggling with severe depression, and unable to run even a short distance without gasping for air. My body felt heavy, weak, broken, and exhausted. My mind was worse.
But then, I made my decision.
I refused to let my rock bottom define me. Through sheer discipline, mental/physical training via various science backed tools, and a commitment to change, I rebuilt myself—one step at a time.
