Experiences Change Perspectives

My name is Josh Perry and I’m a BMX athlete, multiple brain tumor survivor, and a holistic brain health coach living with 4 brain tumors.

I was diagnosed the first time in 2010 with a tumor taking up the left half of my brain and it was wrapped around a main artery in my brain as well as my optic nerve, which led me to loosing my vision. One day when my vision was ok enough to see I fell while training and hit my head, which led to the MRI that saved my life.

In 2012, the tumor came back in 2 areas due to the complications of the original surgery and Gamma Knife Radio-surgery was selected as the treatment plan moving forward, which led the re-growths to shrink for 2 years until not becoming stabilized-best case scenario for my situation.

My experiences of being an athlete and overcoming brain tumors led me to become passionate about the power of holistic health and share that passion with others in an effort to help them become well.

Now as a coach, I guide my clients to leave behind carbohydrate dependency by optimizing their brain through nutrition, exercise and stress management.

The byproduct of leaving behind carbohydrate decency is also leaving behind what comes with it…so things like weight gain, poor sleep, cravings, poor digestion, systemic inflammation, accelerated cell division and aging, and much more in an effort to heal the brain.

My effort is to guide my clients to success in a much quicker manner than what it took me on my own all those years.

I believe people should not have to suffer the way I did and think that’s it’s just apart of life.

In 2017 I was diagnosed with 2 additional tumors on the opposite side of my brain, which is said to be a result of what they call Neurofibromatosis- a genetic disorder that causes brain and spinal cord tumors.

A year follow up MRI showed those 2 additional tumors actually were stalled in their growth after making drastic shifts to my diet and lifestyle in following a high-fat, low-carb, stress-free (as much as possible) lifestyle. Today I’m thriving and doing what I love and an sharing that passion for life with the world.
