"The nutritional, mental, physical and spiritual components of a person’s life must act synergistically for growth to occur... " -Darryl Cohen   I am so PUMPED to welcome longtime friend and biz bud, Darryl Cohen to the T&T Mic! Darryl, a mission driven consumer packaged goods operations expert, and I met years ago at a CrossFit event and casually exchanged cards about a brand he was working with at the time. We have done several projects since then and have run into each other at different national events- it’s a small health and wellness world, ha. BUT really, mission driven humans seem to always find each other! You know you are doing something right if you have people like Darryl in your world working alongside you. Darryl and I have had many deep convos way beyond nutrition and wellness: whole body and whole mind approaches to walking through life as a varsity human. It’s not an easy path, as discussed here,  but if you surround yourself with the right people and intentionally show up, things just might start to work out for you and good will come your way. It’s never simple, but always worth it. Darryl shares his journey thus far and all that he is looking forward to personally and professionally. He shares many wise words and life pro tips, grab a pen and be ready to catch some power vibes!   Highlights: Questioning a better way. Teamwork, dream work. Mission driven humans. Vibes, tribes, and living intentionally. Mico vs. macro perspectives. Start with self to make real change. Clean eating and thinking. Balance and do the best you can, while having fun. Taking punches. Learning life lessons. Seeking joy and living in gratitude.   Darryl Cohen: Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist Darryl Cohen has been interested in nutrition and fitness since a young age. After moving to Colorado from the East Coast nine years ago, Darryl worked as a manager at kickboxing gym. During that time, he noticed something strange. Many of his clients, while motivated, were missing something from their health and fitness routine. For some, a high-intensity workout was no sweat, until they got home and started snacking. For others, they had no problem making the right food choices, but lacked confidence in the gym. For many more, Darryl saw a fundamentally broken relationship with health and fitness. It was for this reason Darryl decided to establish Catalyst Colorado. Darryl adopted a multifaceted approach to nutritional coaching, incorporating three distinct pillars: science, psychology and spirituality. In his experience, he discovered one or more of these pillars are neglected during nutrition and fitness endeavors. This neglect creates imbalances and becomes unsustainable in the long-term. Darryl adopts a wholistic approach from day one, helping others reach their goals by focusing on repairing their relationship with food, and he is here to help those around him achieve the lasting physical and spiritual transformation they themselves know they’re capable of. https://catalystcolorado.com/  @catalyst_colorado   Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com   Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Email: Info@KOAlliance.com Website: www.KOAlliance.com
