About this episode
In this episode you can learn why high-achieving professionals must prioritize exercise, nutrition, and sleep as a high-ROI strategy for performance and family life, not “time away” from work.
I'm chatting with Health Coach, Brian Prana, who has over 23 years of experience and who has trained thousands (including elite athletes),
We're talking about identity and environment changes, social support, and accountability, plus time-efficient movement (frequent walking breaks) and scalable CrossFit-style strength circuits.
Brian is sharing many client stories where his coaching led tomajor lifestyle changes. He outlines nutrition basics—prioritize protein and fiber, planning/prep, moderation—and sleep foundations including routines, limiting screens, and mindset, ending with the guiding question: will this choice move me toward or away from my health goals? Tune in to learn more.
