On this episode of My Fulfilled Life, we speak with Darryl Edwards as he visited my city. He is a personal trainer, nutritionist and author, but that is not how he started out. His previous career was a computer programmer working within investment banking.

Hmm…how did he get to where he his today?

The topics covered on his journey:

What led him to the understanding that a healthy lifestyle was key to avoiding prescription medication.

What pushed him to begin his journey after an early warning from his doctor, based on blood tests that showed markers of chronic lifestyle disease. Within a few months of changing his lifestyle, he was able to normalize his health issues without the use of any medication!

The key factors were:

  • Better diet
  • Better quality sleep
  • Better management of stress
  • Healthful movement
