Meet Christopher Carbone | Health Coach and Writer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christopher Carbone and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christopher, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
I decided to become a health coach because I have transformed my own health — physically and mentally — over the last decade. It’s my goal now to pay it forward by sharing what I have learned from my own research and studies, from doctors I’ve learned from and through trial and error. At the heart of our problem as a society is this: Many people are brain fogged and addicted to sugar. When people are in this state, they are usually mean and short-tempered. If we want to treat each other better, we need to heal everyone. And by heal everyone, I mean heal their brains. Yes, there are of course other aesthetic benefits (less body fat, more muscle), but that pales in comparison to the cognitive upgrade one gets by living a more circadian life and prioritizing ketosis and HIIT.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I initially decided to dive into coaching when I was still working full time in a different industry. Although it was going to be a side hustle, it quickly became a passion for me. I got to where I am slowly and methodically. I took advice from others and looked to friends and colleagues in the field for inspiration. I am still overcoming challenges now, mainly be re-tooling my message, changing my outreach techniques and determining what type of marketing strategy works best for me. As far as lessons learned, the main one is to be patient and to be consistent.

My brand, Coach Christopher LLC, is about taking a holistic approach to wellness that empowers my clients to heal and develop lifelong habits that keep them healthy.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I think they should try to see a bit of everything. I’d recommend a hike at South Mountain, a run on Tempe Town Lake and a meal at The Golden Pineapple as a nice start. For a fun day trip, I’d have them spend time in Sedona, first hiking through the red rocks at Devil’s Bridge and then enjoying a meal while the sun sets at someplace like The Vault. Another great day would be filled in Old Town Scottsdale. There are tons of cool vintage shops and tourist boutiques offering jewelry, furniture, coffee and much more. A brunch or lunch at Jo-Jo’s Coffee would be delicious. They also should hike Camel Back Mountain if they’ve got some experience hiking. It’s a fantastic workout and offers some of the most stunning views of the greater Phoenix area — especially at sunrise and sunset, but really anytime. They should consider a trip to the ASU Art Museum, the Phoenix Art Museum and/or the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. Both Tempe and Scottsdale are fun places to ride your bike through, as well, if the weather isn’t too hot. Lastly, a meal at US Egg or Chelsea’s Kitchen is a nice way to round out their trip.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
That’s easy. Dr. Courtney Hunt, MD, is a person who taught me more about health and wellness — and how to optimize it — than any of my prior certifications had. She wrote a book called Your Spark Is Light that also inspired me to dive deeper into a wide range of scientific topics. Not only does Dr. Hunt talk the talk, she walks the walk by practicing everything she preaches about ketosis, autophagy, fasting and high-intensity exercise. I’m very grateful to her.
