About Spiritual Warrior Health Coaching
My Background
Hi! I'm Dave Cash. I have over 16 years of experience as a certified health coach, life coach, and fitness coach, and I have helped hundreds of clients achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being. My approach is holistic and tailored to each individual's unique needs. In my quest to heal myself and become the best teacher and mentor I could possibly be, I became a certified health and life coach with the Health Coach Institute, as well as an NSCA certified personal trainer specializing in functional movement, rehabilitation, and exercise. I have spent years doing a deep dive into posture and movement with "The Postural Restoration Institute," and have studied extensively with Wim Hof, Robert Peng, and Richard Brown, to learn Qi Gong, Coherent Breathing, and how to regulate the nervous system with the help of your breath and your physiology. I have also studied Functional Nutrition and learned from my mentors Kate Deering and Ray Peat about how to heal the metabolism through a positive relationship with food and nutrition. Perhaps most importantly I have studied with Susan D'addario aka "The Sleep Coach," to master the art of sleep hygiene, which has completely transformed my own life and the lives of my clients, because if you don't have good sleep what have you really got? Besides devoting my career to the art of sleeping, eating, and exercising well, I specialize in "Neurolinguistic Programming," "Faster EFT" (emotional freedom technique or tapping), "The Work of Byron Katie," and "Somatic Experiencing," all of which I am certified in. These techniques focus on changing habits through changing the way you talk to yourself, re-imprinting your brain, and allowing your emotions to move. Above all I consider myself a habits master and a "Neuroplastician," or someone who helps people change their brains so they can live optimally and have more peace of mind in daily living. In short I help people create the lives that they have always wanted with the help of better physical and mental health habits.
My Philosophy
According to Barry Stutz, 80% of mental health and happiness comes from sleep, exercise, and diet. That has been absolutely true in my experience. I went all over the world chasing for enlightenment, love, and 'the fix," but only when I stabilized my sleep, nutrition, and exercise was I able to unlock my full potential and create a life I love. This is precisely what I want for you and for all of my clients. If you are someone who is suffering with excessive weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, body image issues, or you are generally depressed, de-energized and losing faith in life, I believe that you can change by really getting grounded in your health and your habits. I believe we pathologize ourselves way too much for problems that often have a simple physiological solution. I speak very much from experience on this. I used to identify as "an addict," and someone who "had anxiety." And although I do believe my childhood trauma contributed to those "diseases," the solution was simpler than I was making it. I did the psychotherapy, I did the spiritual searching, and I did the shamanic plant medicine trips. It all helped me to change and grow. But nothing has helped me as much as being as kind to myself as I would be to a child with regards to my nutrition, exercise/movement, and sleep, and to simply be loving towards my "negative" emotions so I could use them as fuel instead of fighting against them. These more simple changes allowed me to become more healthy, wealthy, and wise than I had ever been. And this is precisely what I want for you too! I love to get curious about consciousness and the brain (I was a religious studies major at The University of Michigan), however the study of these fields is only helpful if its practical. I will help you to become the most brilliant and practical spiritual warrior you can be. I will help you to fall in love with your habits, your health, and your daily routines, so you can achieve all of your goals and feel so good in your body that you are overflowing with gratitude and joy.
