About Mike

Why these experts say yes to a long conversation.

I'm Mike Vera, a board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC) with a master's in exercise science. I ask the questions you'd ask if you had these people in the room, and I let them talk long enough to actually say something. No gotchas, no rage-bait. Evidence over authority.

Tools I actually use

The short list, with the full context.

Movement, light, and breathing tools Mike uses himself, with clear affiliate disclosures on one dedicated page.

I take on a small number of people through Avantia Health Optimization. Board-certified health coach (NBC-HWC), built around your situation, not a template. If the show resonates, this is the next step.
