Results from Physicians Like You

Dr. Craig

Orthopedic Surgeon
 

  • Reached his target weight & body composition & felt more energized than before
  • Could navigate travel and holidays without falling off track
  • Shifted his perspective and stopped overthinking and creating complex plans – focused on executing more simple, practical plans that could be stuck to for the long haul
“As an orthopedic surgeon, husband, and father of three young kids, consistency with my health and fitness was always the challenge. I’d tried multiple online programs over the years, but most required ideal circumstances that weren’t realistic with call, surgery, travel, and family responsibilities. Working with Mike helped me build a system that fit my life instead of fighting against it. Over the past seven months, I’ve lost 15 pounds, improved my energy, conditioning, strength, and overall fitness, while becoming more resilient to the physical demands of orthopedic surgery. What I appreciate most is that the focus wasn’t on perfection—it was on creating sustainable habits and a plan I could actually follow long term.”

Dr. Anne

Orthopedic Surgeon

 

  • Lost over 15 lbs after feeling stuck due to menopause
  • Rebuilt her confidence to levels she hadn’t felt in nearly a decade
  • Felt her hard work transfer to the ballroom floor in her dance routines
“This experience has been amazing and I am very grateful to you!
You helped me accomplish what had seemed impossible to me for a very long time. I am thrilled with the results and will certainly be on the lookout for anyone I can send your way.”

Dr Romano

Cardiovascular Surgeon, Married with 2 Kids

 

  • Eliminated chronic low back pain that plagued him in and out of the OR
  • Consistently working out 3x per week despite unpredictable schedule which led to shedding 12 lbs of unwanted bodyfat and adding 3 lbs of muscle
  • Energy levels high and sustainable despite demanding operating schedule
“The biggest asset to this program is having Mike there to guide me along week-to-week on how to make things work for me even when operations get added to my schedule, cases take longer than I expect, and when I have to travel. The flexibility makes it easy to be consistent and sustain my consistency in the gym”

Dr Yassir

Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon, Married with 2 Kids

 

  • Operates with no low back pain is able to recover much faster between cases
  • Consistent, flexible nutrition practices rather than extreme diets that don’t work with his schedule
  • Has lost over 60 lbs and improved his athleticism which allowed him to play in his college lacrosse reunion game without injuring himself
“I expected the weight loss progress by implementing a custom plan designed for me, but the surprising things was how much it transferred into other aspects of my life – felt better, during, and after operating, despite getting older I’ve improved my athleticism, and I have more energy than I could have imagined”

Dr Hovord

Anaesthesiologist, Married with 5 Kids

 

  • Feeling energized after workouts – not rundown and burned out like before – and getting much better results
  • Shed 16 lbs of body fat and put on 2 lbs of muscle while consistently working out 5x per week despite a demanding schedule
  • The increase in energy has allowed him to go through long shifts at the hospital better focused and not feeling drained at the end of the day which means more energy for his family when he gets home
“Before working with Mike I felt like I was spinning my wheels. I worked out less frequently, but would push myself hard through 2 hour sessions when I could fit them in and wasn’t getting any results and felt worse. Now, I as good and strong as I did back in my rugby playing days”

You Help Everyone Else, But Who’s Helping You?

Your career is extremely rewarding, but it’s taking its toll:

You leave the hospital exhausted — and there’s still a whole life waiting for you at homes

Your body is keeping score. The back pain, the slow recovery, the fatigue between cases — it wasn’t always like this.

You’ve tried the programs. They weren’t built for someone who gets paged at 2am and hasn’t had a predictable week in years.

You don’t need motivation. You need a system that actually fits your life.

The COVAL Physician Vitality Collective provides you with tried and true, individualized solutions built for the demands of a high performing physicians which we’ve successfully implemented with over 50 physicians

I’ve Spent Years What it Actually Takes to Get Surgeons In Shape

Clinic runs long. A case gets added. You’re on call. I’ve worked with enough surgeons and physicians to know that a plan built for someone who works a 9-to-5 or from home simply doesn’t apply to you.

That’s why everything I build is designed around your schedule. No cookie-cutter programs. No unrealistic expectations. Just a structured, science-based approach that accounts for the reality
of your life and gets you results anyway.

I’ve helped 100+ high-performing physicians lose weight, eliminate chronic pain, and rebuild their energy — without overhauling their lives to do it. I’ve also put everything I know into The Physician Vitality Playbook, a practical guide built specifically for physicians who are ready to take their health back

Here’s How We Get You There

1

Book a Free Discovery Call

We spend 30 minutes together covering your schedule, your goals, and what’s gotten in the way before. I’ll walk you through the pillars of the program and show you a real example of a physician I’m currently working with — so you can see exactly what this looks like in practice. If it feels like the right fit for both of us, we’ll talk about the next steps.

2

Your 1-on-1 Assessment & Custom Plan

We sit down together and go deep — your training history, movement, nutrition habits, recovery, and the real demands of your schedule. Everything I learn becomes the foundation of your custom plan. Nutrition, training, and accountability, all built around your life — not a generic template.

3

Execute Together and Start Feeling the Difference

This is where the work happens — and it’s a team effort. You show up and execute the plan. I provide the coaching, the adjustments, and the accountability to keep you on track. Most physicians who are consistent see meaningful results in as little as 3 hours per week.

Still Not Convinced? Here’s What Else Our Physicians Are Saying

Dr Brown

Otolaryngologist
 

  • lost over 100 lbs in 2 ½ years
  • built the strongest, most athletic version of himself he’s ever been – even at 56 years old
  • transformed his standards, confidence, and belief in what’s possible for his future
“Working with Mike and the Physician Vitality Collective played an instrumental role in my weight loss journey. Mike acted as a guide to help me with the nutrition strategies I wanted to make in my life, gave me autonomy and empowered me to make decisions along the way, and also helped steer me in the right direction when I needed it. Perhaps the most important part of my weight loss was minimizing the amount of muscle I lost in the process which Mike’s programs helped tremendously with. This is the best I’ve ever looked and felt in my adult life”

Dr. John

Veterinary Surgeon

 

  • Goal was to get to 185 lbs in 3 months. He went from 197 lbs to 172 lbs in 4 months and has kept it off for a year
  • Low back pain eliminated
  • Found a sustainable nutrition plan that is easy for him to follow
“The biggest help working with Mike is he lays out exactly what to do and all I have to do is follow it. I’ve got to operate, a business to run, employees to manage…. the last thing I want to do is plan out my workouts and what I’m going to eat. Having Mike take care of that plus the accountability I get from him has been invaluable.”

Dr. Bob

Anesthesiologist
 

  • Eliminated chronic hip pain and immediately improved the quality of life
  • Added 15 lbs to his frame & started feeling like the athlete he used to be during his college football playing days
  • Continued to make performance gains well into his 40’s
“As a former Division 1 National Champion football player, I’ve worked with elite strength coaches and rehabilitation professionals throughout my athletic career. Mike’s understanding of how the body moves is on par with anyone I’ve ever worked with. When I started working with him, I was dealing with chronic hip pain and no longer felt like the athlete I once was. Since then, I’ve eliminated my hip pain, added 15 pounds of muscle to my frame, and, for the first time in years, feel like an athlete again. As a former athlete and current scientist, I appreciate that there’s a reason behind every movement he puts into my program. Nothing is random. What’s even more impressive is his ability to apply that knowledge to the individual. Whether he’s working with a high-level athlete or someone who’s stepping into a gym for the first time, he knows how to meet them where they are and help them improve.”

Dr Lange

Intensivist

 

  • Lost over 50 lbs and has kept it off since 2015
  • Successfully figured out how to stay “on” with his nutrition 80% of the time while still enjoying himself when out with family and friends
  • Sleep hygiene and stress tolerance significantly improved – feels much more in-control of his day
“When it comes to my health & fitness I like to align myself with the best of the best. The best doctors, the best nutritionist, the best trainers….that’s where Mike and his program fit in. He’s the best trainer for physicians to work with because of his expertise and ability to understand and coach physicians based on what their life is….not some ideal world that we don’t live in”

Dr Abuhussein

Periodontist, Married with 1 Child

 

  • Able to maintain strength & body composition improvements with custom plan that allows her to workout at home 3-4x per week despite demanding surgical schedule and having a 3 year old at home
  • No more low back pain during or after operating
  • Much more confident in her body – not just the way she looks, but the way she performs
“Most days it feels like there’s not enough time in the day to focus on getting my workouts in and my health – but Mike’s understanding of my schedule and what my goals are have allowed me to be consistent with my workouts – all from the comfort of my own home – and not taking any more than 2 hours per week. It’s not only helped me maintain the body I want and keep my strength up, but it’s helped me stress way less – which less stressing has helped a ton with my energy levels”
