MY CORE VALUES:
Hi, I'M DR. EVAN
I knew from a young age that I had a passion for health & human performance. What started with movement, dance, artistry, and fitness has become a lifelong journey of tuning my instrument to the orchestra of life.
1992-1995
I grew up an extremely sensitive child, vaccinated, addicted to fast food, video games, and seclusion. I was bullied, overweight, and struggled to get accepted, let alone know what was like to be healthy. Luckily, I found sports. On the court and the field, I was invincible. And movement became one of my greatest forms medicine. This health led to taking college art classes as a chid, dance, and summer camps.
1999-2004
After consciously deciding to lost 50 pounds in 7th grade, I found in the biggest of games, biggest stages, and biggest moments of chaos, I felt the most calm. I excelled and started to taste social acceptance for the first time. The same people who bullied me, were the people chanting my name on game day. Throughout my years being told I was too emotional, was just showing me a massive emotional capacity to serve, play, and stand in the spot light. Yet, I faced the darkest of times, more bullying, contemplating suicide, and emerging from homelessness to know that college sports was the only path for me to live.
2007-2012
I became a leader in my class and went on to follow a path of optimal health & well-being. I landed a scholarship to play basketball and lacrosse in college. I was fascinated with the mind and human psyche, got my degree in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy & Studio Art. But I was still addicted to alcohol, pornography, smoking weed, and all of my limiting beliefs.
2013-2019
MI remember expressing to my coach that I knew I was meant for more. I was crying, begging, and deeply craving a sign. He told me to man up and be tougher than that, to stop crying. It was the most intense yet most transformational periods of my life.
2020-2023
After fracturing my spine and being told that I might not be able to play sports again, I went deep into a journey of healing, mental health & optimal performance. I bounced back, became team captain, and forged a new path. This led me to chiropractic school where I truly learned the power of innate intelligence, the laws of nature, and the true principles of life. After a few deaths in the family due to cancers & serious health issues, I knew my mission was showing the world what it truly means to experience optimal health & well-being.
1999-2004
I opened my own practice right out of school with $6 in my pocket and made it happen. Despite the haters and critics, I crushed it. yet, I still wasn't fulfilled. After a serious breakup, mental health struggles, and few traumatic experiences, I sold my practice, deleted social media, and started traveling the world to discover my true medicine.
2020-2023
I recognized the chaos in the world and the chaos inside of me, I knew the only way to see a change was to be the change. So, I decided to launch a personal brand "Become The Medicine" and never look back. Since then, i've written 3x books about neuroscience, health & wellness, and optimal health. After landing a TEDx Talk and seeing massive success, I was able to start a Peak Performance & Accountability Coaching career.
