I’ve always told myself I wanted to lose weight and tone up, but I was never able to keep the momentum or motivation. Since I began as a health coaching client, I have learned how to eat healthy and still enjoy food. I’ve learned portion control and everything in moderation (and have enjoyed the occasional cheat meal!). I learned how sleep and anxiety can effect someone’s overall mental and physical health. I have gained confidence in myself while doing workouts that I never would’ve dreamed of being able to complete. I’ve watched my body transform into someone who not only feels healthy and fit, but looks it too.” - Carly S (November 2020) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050a1d943a94a74eb25aa58/1616076702418-IYR2DKN8IZSKDMQJC84T/MJ+%28B_A%29.png Testimonials - "I went to Optimized Health with the goal of just improving stress/anxiety management - acknowledging that how often I move and what I eat would impact that. But I'm walking away with so much more (and 16 pounds less!). Over our 6+ months working together, we worked through a complete lifestyle reboot: from developing balanced eating habits, to more intense workouts, and thoughtful rest days - yet throughout this entire very emotional and physical journey of unlearning habits and letting go of negative coping mechanisms, Ethan has been nothing less than supportive and encouraging. I've found that I now prioritize my health (and myself) so much more than before and feel not only more educated but better in tune with what MY body needs. I've never felt better physically, emotionally, and mentally than I have now -- and I love that Ethan's focus was always on helping me find within myself what I needed to get me here." - Melissa L (November 2020) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050a1d943a94a74eb25aa58/1616076900774-SPUE06Q0SLTWYZUHO2O8/Annika+Wells.png Testimonials - “Ethan’s positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm for helping others has sparked a love for exercising I never thought I’d have. He has instilled in me a passion for running and a confidence in the ability to push my personal limits that has allowed me to achieve goals I didn’t think possible. And through it all, he always leaves me with a smile on my face. Ethan is truly the best!” - Annika W https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050a1d943a94a74eb25aa58/1616077016426-JIS5TPQTN3NM8QJQ3AM8/Sandy+-+B_A.jpeg Testimonials - “I was uncomfortable in my body. I didn’t want to pose for pictures and I definitely didn’t want to step on a scale. Optimized Health helped me reshape my relationship with food and exercise. After just a few months, I was posing for pictures in clothes that flattered my new, healthy shape.” - Sandy F https://www.optimizedtouring.com/about daily 1.0 2022-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050a1d943a94a74eb25aa58/04e3796f-a624-426a-be80-4dc2034b997e/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+7.52.27+PM+2+2.png Our Work Download Your Free Copy of the Touring Community Wellness Guide Now.

Ethan here. I founded Backbeat Management, a talent management company based in Los Angeles, and worked as a manager for a decade with artists, producers and songwriters. While my work was very successful, I noticed over time I was essentially sacrificing myself daily to serve my business and my clients. At my heaviest weight I was 312 pounds, working 12+ hours a day, and feeling the intensity of an industry that celebrates grind culture and assumes heavy drinking, lavish meals on company cards, late nights and social media addiction. In a personal health journey focused on habit development instead of deprivation, I lost (and kept off) 130 pounds, became an Integrative Health Coach and founded Optimized Health, a health coaching company providing personalized health services across Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Stress and Mindset for people of all backgrounds. With Optimized Touring, My goal is to take the powerful health coaching work that I have watched transform many peoples’ lives (including my own) and combine it with my music industry expertise to provide a health foundation for the music industry that currently does not exist. https://www.optimizedtouring.com/team daily 0.75 2022-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050a1d943a94a74eb25aa58/1626371421732-LOKX9ET7CLJYQ7BDEYAE/HarpDigitalMedia_9735.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6050a1d943a94a74eb25aa58/1616075281338-X4X6GYYD4N22URD3ODGA/Maddy+Pollack+-+1.jpeg Team Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
