BIO

Chris Cornell is a certified Metabolic Health Practitioner and health coach who transformed his own health after age 50, losing 80 pounds through sustainable lifestyle changes. After overcoming cancer, he dedicated himself to helping others achieve their health goals through evidence-based coaching methods. He now serves as a health coach at Ovadia Heart Health.

KISMET

Cornell's transformative moment came from stepping on his mother's scale - a chance encounter that might never have happened if he hadn't visited that day. This random event led to reading Gary Taubes' book, which completely changed his understanding of weight loss and set him on his path to becoming a health coach.
