While fitness has always been a driving factor in my life, it wasn't until I was nearing my 40th birthday that I became motivated to get into the best shape of my life, and added nutrition science to the mix. The transformation I experienced by blending expert nutrition advice with personal training led me to opening my business so I could share my passion and knowledge with others, and help others change their lives for the better, through embracing natural, healthy lifestyles.
As I continued into my 40s, I began to understand the way the body begins to wear down due to age. From improving recovery time to treating general aches and pains brought on by my active lifestyle, I began experimenting with CBD. To say I was enthralled with the results would be an understatement. Despite originally intending to treat inflammation, I couldn't believe how the daily use of this all-natural product made me feel so incredible. From athletic recovery, to my moods, PMS symptoms and general brain fog, CBD was the missing piece I never knew I needed to become my best, whole self.
I'm Jad. If you know me, you'll know that wellness has always been a big part of my life. If you don't know me, I'm excited to use this space to introduce myself and help you discover how I can help you on your journey to a happier, healthier you.
Ever since I could walk, I have been an athlete; and that is no mistake, these roots run deep. My father was a semi-professional soccer player in our native Croatia, which first inspired my love for sport. Growing up, I played many different sports, but most excelled in basketball. After setting records at the high school level, I spent my college years playing at Saint Mary’s University (SMU) where I earned the title of All-Canadian and was nominated for the Top Athlete in the country across all sport categories. After my time at SMU, I played professional basketball in Austria.
After my time in Europe, I returned to Canada where I worked in various communications roles, and soon after returned to Halifax where I co-founded the Halifax Rainmen professional basketball team. This venture filled the sports void that was missing in my life after I hung up my sneakers, and after seven exciting years with the franchise, I moved on to pursue other passions, which has led me to writing to you at this very moment.

Get To Know Me
Adding CBD as part of my everyday life has helped me achieve a sense of calm that I didn't know I could obtain. In addition to physically feeling better than I did in my 20s, my anxious thoughts are subdued, and I am able to keep a more level, balanced mind in all areas of my life. Knowing CBD is in my toolbox in achieving and maintaining my healthiest, best self has been so incredibly comforting. As cheesy as it sounds, it truly helps me feel more like me. That's my favorite way to describe how CBD has improved my life; it allows me to be a better me.
