6. STUDENT STORIES

This is so important to me as I realized that chronic back pain could have limited me severely in my profession and in my active lifestyle. Although I was fit and active before discovering Ben, I now feel more healthy on many more levels than just fitness. He has helped me put the pieces together to make me a more well-rounded, holistically healthy person. Thanks Ben!”

~Christine Buckley President, Washington Chapter of the Barefoot Runners Society

“I now feel more healthy on many more levels than just fitness”

[...] I use [Ben’s] information to transform my life, but also to help my clients. He provides information that is easily implemented into your lifestyle, and that challenges you to think about your health and move beyond your current level, by challenging your fitness and beliefs. I have implemented several changes to my diet, supplementation, workout routines and tried new things based on Ben’s guidance, and all have had great results. [...] After implementing his exercises and switching to barefoot running [...] I no longer have any lower back pain.

“I lost over 100lbs, identified 2 major health issues and cured 3 others”

I was sitting in a doctor’s office: 51 years old and I weighed 340lbs.The doctor told me, there was no doubt that we should set up Bariatric Bypass Surgery and that I was grossly Morbidly Obese. A year later I had lost over 100lbs, identified 2 major health issues and cured 3 others. Yes, CURED. I treated the root cause and of my GERD, IBS, and Acid Reflux AND completed a triathlon. 2 1/2 years later I completed Ironman Canada (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile Bike, 26.2 mile run) in 14:35. Today Ben continues to coach me with the goal of Kona [...] and to be competitive within my age group and with Ben’s guidance it will happen.

“Ben has been pivotal in changing my lifestyle and helping me achieve my fitness goals”

Ben has been pivotal in changing my lifestyle and helping me achieve my fitness goals, as well, as improve my overall health. [...] I had significant lower back and hip pain on my right side that prevented me from running or completing any continuous movement for over 10 minutes. After [...] following Ben’s exercises [...] I reduced my hip pain. I am now working up to interval fast walking/jogging increments, and I was able to complete the Echo Triathlon at the sprint distance this summer, where I came out of the water 3rd and finished 12th overall in my age division.

“I’ve changed my diet tremendously and learned more recovery techniques along the way”

[...] I’ve changed my diet tremendously and learned more recovery techniques along the way.  I’m also a PE teacher and I’ve been able to incorporate many fitness variables into my course curricula. I’ve seen my classes get into better shape and learn to appreciate physical fitness more. Kids these days do NOT want to run, and I’ve been able use different ways to help them condition. [...] Thanks for your advice and guidance!

~ ~Eric Hisaw, teacher

I have attached my race picture from that! [...] I am hoping that I will continue to progress on that and I continue to use Ben as my motivator and guide for eating properly. Thanks Ben!
