FITNESS by BILLY JOE

I was an overweight, heavy smoking 39 year old, who saw my aging parents struggle with heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, and osteoporosis, all of which were probably going to be passed to me. I then decided to age as well as possible, both inside and out, with exercise, diet, Western and Eastern practices, with no steroids, hormones, filler or botox.

Now at 65, I have indeed inherited all of the above. You can’t really fight genetics. But you can reason with it. I handle aging very differently than my parents did, and for the past 15 years, I’ve helped others do the same as an empathetic personal trainer. I know what it’s like to feel lost, frustrated, confused and defeated. I help my clients get the right workouts, develop a healthier relationship with their fitness habits, and begin to believe in their own physical path.

It’s never too late to change your body. For life.

ABOUT BILLY JOE

9
Months

I do what I do for a reason. From a chubby baby to a scrawny kid, suddenly at puberty I turned into a pear-shaped teen. Since then, my weight always went up and down, but during my professional acting career, I kept it pretty much in control. However, when I left acting at 32, and moved into the business world, things physically went downhill.

THEN AT
39

By the time my wife, the amazing singer Natalie Douglas, took this picture on our honeymoon, I was 39, overweight, smoking two packs a day, and had an ulcer. I also saw my aging parents struggle horribly with heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer - and I got scared for my future. When we got home, I made a conscious decision to age as well as I possibly could.

NOW AT
63

So, now I’m 63, and indeed have many of the same genetic issues my parents faced, especially high blood pressure and arthritis, but handle it very differently than they did - with exercise, diet, and both Western and alternative medicines. And now my job is helping others of all body types do the same, and specialize in metabolic, lifestyle, & hormonal change, as well as chronic illnesses, such as MS, strokes, and cancer.
