In this solo episode, Brandon DaCruz, accredited nutritionist and online physique coach pulls back the curtain and walks you through the personal journey, career path and coaching philosophy that have shaped his work over the past 15+ years in the fitness industry.


You’ll hear the story behind how Brandon went from under-fueling as a young athlete to becoming a nationally published fitness model, corporate sports nutrition executive and high-level coach who’s helped over 1,100 clients improve their physiques, performance, and overall health.


Brandon shares why he left the security of a successful corporate career to coach full-time, the type of clients he works best with and what truly drives his passion for helping others.
