Wayne Coolidge Jr., M.Ed. is a Scholar-Practitioner, Author, and Speaker. He owns Healthy Dynamic Living, an innovative health promotion consulting firm specializing in anti-aging, neuro-health, nutrition, fat loss, and fitness. His expertise is designing lifestyle-optimization strategies leading to positive gene function, controlled cellular aging, health, and wellness. Wayne has pioneered the concept that optimizing genetic expression by mimicking lifestyle characteristics of our ancient ancestors results in a mind/body state that he refers to as “Healthy Dynamic Living.” His simplified definition of Healthy Dynamic Living? Your health and wellness needs are met, and you don’t need a life coach.Wayne embraces his role as a Health Promotion Scholar-Practitioner. He enthusiastically employs ideals characterized by professional excellence grounded in theory and research, which are informed by experiential knowledge and motivated by personal values and ethical conduct. His consulting style is patterned from the scholar-practitioner model which emphasizes learning about or recognizing problems, examining them closely, and searching for productive solutions. He is committed to the well-being of his learning community which includes his clients, colleagues, friends, and family. Wayne has been recognized as a “thought leader” in his field since the early 1990s. His width and depth of knowledge have shown him that no two clients are physiologically the same, nor do they share the exact same life experiences. This “mind/body” diversity requires a skilled and personalized health/wellness program design. “36 years and 30,600 plus hours of face-to-face consultation and training experience later, clients continue to emerge from his programs skilled, focused, energized, and likely to succeed in their quest of creating a more perfect version of themselves.”
