I'm not just talking about standard personal training, even though I did that for a couple years in undergrad.
My background/qualifications.
-Bachelors in Organic Chemistry (2014 University of Illinois), Masters in Pharmacology specialized in Sports Pharmacology and Medicinal Botany(2017 University of Illinois Chicago) finishing Addiction Neurobiology PhD research at the moment, about a year to go (Back to University Of Illinois main campus)
- NASM sports nutrition cert in 2012
- ACE (oof) personal trainer cert in 2011
- Did R&D and helped establish two large online supplement/nootropics/workout supply companies, both of which would be known well by people here
-3 years of a paid summer internship with a functional medicine doctor/clinic in town focused on longevity and general biohacking.
-"CSO" of a cannabis/hemp analytics and extraction lab (quotations because while yes, I run the lab, I only work like 2 days a week to make sure the lab techs are doing everything correctly and it's a family business, not some massive publicly traded company)
-Huge athlete when younger (now almost 31). Played Baseball and wrestled through my undergrad, got a quarter ride scholarship for baseball.
-Taekwondo since 7 and Red Belt (no stripe) by 16
- Bjj since 14, Purple Belt with 2 stripes at 21.
-Muay Thai is a recent one for me, only trained for a year before i got cancer 4 years ago, but is the one I'm going to pursue again now that I'm back in action. Only sitting with an orange belt currently.
-Incredibly interested in the biohacking/longevity arena. Personally I take a massive stack of supplements and am super anal about my diet staying on point, I fully plan on being a badass 100 year old still able to run a mile some day. I both work on this style.of thing in grad school, and out of personal interest even attend conferences and such.
My entire goal with life has been to pursue research, and eventually open up a clinic that focuses on the trinity of human wellness; mind, body, spirit.
My girlfriend is an ICU charge nurse who's fully down to consult and be on board to spice up this endeavors qualifications, and I have a friend who's an internal medicine doctor on board for the same.
As I've said many times on tis board, I've also been through severe cancer and a chain of associated blood infections, lost a few body parts including part of my hand and nearly died for about 3 years straight. I fully believe had I not been as proactive with my health and diet as I was I would have died during that.
My goal would be working with absolutely anyone, focusing on getting them into peak human condition. Not just building muscle, but building health. Diet plans, fitness plans, supplement schedules, routine blood labs (I have a partnership set up with Function Health of I choose to fully pursue this). Old people, youth, body builders, disabled people, anyone.
My issue? Even being really for and with solid qualifications, I'm really introverted and loaded with social anxiety. Also, I'm kinda the poster child for ADHD sometimes and left to my.own devices is hit or miss.
How do I go about pursuing this dream as a reality? How do you network for it? How would I go about finding a partner if that's what it took?
This is fully achievable online these days, though in person clients would be fantastic too.
If anyone has.some advice, I would be insanely appreciative. I'd even be down to trade services, I'll coach your health if you'll coach my business endeavors Hell, I'll even cut someone in on a small interest in the entity if they help that much.
I have a bit of startup cash, probably 6 grand liquid, but I'm not trying to go into debt or pull anymore out to do this.
I already have a website, hosting, and e-commerce platform purchased just not set up.
Thanks for any advice y'all.
