Norm's Story

In 2021, I weighed 296 pounds. I was sedentary, depressed and making lifestyle choices that had finally caught up with me. What followed became a health journey I never could have imagined—serious illness, dialysis, major surgeries and ultimately an urgent simultaneous kidney and liver transplant.

There were moments when I genuinely wondered whether my best days were behind me. 

They weren't. 

I was fortunate to have exceptional medical professionals fighting alongside me, but I also learned that recovery required me to become an active participant in my own life again. 

I began focusing on the choices I could control: nutrition, movement, mindset, sleep, exercise and how I approached each day. My faith grew stronger. So did my gratitude. Little by little, I rebuilt—physically, mentally and spiritually. 

Today, I don't take an ordinary day for granted. I've been given more than one second chance, and those experiences changed my perspective on life. I'm grateful for where I've been, but I'm much more interested in where I'm going.

That journey ultimately led me to become a certified Primal Health Coach and create Alive & Kicking LLC. 

My experiences have given me perspective, empathy, discipline and a deep appreciation for how powerful better daily choices can become when practiced intentionally & consistently. 

My calling now is to serve as an Agent of Change—helping people who know they're capable of feeling and living better but need education, encouragement, accountability and a practical path forward. 

Yesterday doesn't have to dictate tomorrow. 

Your best days don't have to be behind you!
