On today’s episode, George Evans, personal trainer and online coach, gives us an inside look on growing up with Cystic Fibrosis. He discusses how much physical activity and eating well has helped him and how his desire to share this with others brought him into his new career.
Additionally, he shares why he believes men have a harder time discussing chronic illness than women, why we need to start ditching the victimhood mentality, and discusses a vulnerable time in is his life when he lost the majority of his intestines in the ICU.
Many are not aware that those who have Cystic Fibrosis cannot meet one another in person. (I wasn’t until I conducted this interview). We talk about this, the new movie, Five Feet Apart, which is a love story on this very idea, and how this played a major role in George’s decision to start coaching online. He can now help other “CFer’s” on their physical journeys in a personal way, without the risk of cross infection.
