No hype, no fads. Just science-guided nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle insights delivered to your inbox each week.

Get past fad diets and needlessly exhausting workouts, and into the nutrition and exercise principles that really create vibrance

Wellness with Purpose is a free weekly newsletter written by a veteran coach and science geek who walks his talk, and still asks "why"

Each week, you'll get my take on topics like:

Why rapid weight loss rarely lasts ... and a more realistic approach for keeping weight off
Nutrition and exercise principles that help you look and feel your best without requiring a will of steel
Thinking beyond calories ... they do matter, but are far from everything
How you can (and should) indulge as part of a sustainable, long-term wellness plan
Metabolic health – what it is and why it’s foundational to your overall health and wellness

Two master’s degrees and a PhD later, I’m still obsessed with knowing how nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle choices can enhance your life ... in the simplest way possible. That means a lot of research and deep thinking translated into easy-to-understand insights delivered straight to your inbox. (more on my degrees)

"I get too many emails and the content is just not worth the time to read. One of the exceptions ... Dr. Vin's weekly newsletter!

Dr. Vin's passion and understanding of holistic practices related to health, nutrition, fitness, and wellness are superior.

The wealth of knowledge he shares from his education and research; his willingness to be candid about his own personal experiences; and his supportive approach with encouraging people that positive change is a lifelong commitment have all had a significant influence on building and maintaining my wellness journey."

Tara M.

"I really enjoy the weekly emails from Vin, he does a great job explaining the why behind his suggestions, he has a way of motivating without being critical. I always look forward to reading what he has to say."

Linda S.

"The newsletters from coach Vin are great because they really humanize your trainer. They make you realize he doesn’t just preach this stuff, he’s living it right along with you, sharing in the same struggles, the same accomplishments, and gives you that motivation knowing if he’s doing it, so can you."

Tina L.

"Vin weeded out the fads and gave me exactly what I needed to know to succeed with food. My energy is through the roof, and it’s proof that exercise is amazing, but food is everything!!"

Katie G.

"Vin’s synthesis of a multitude of research provided me with the reasoning to support specific food choices and a deep-seeded shift in my mindset around food."

Jen C.

"The nutritional information put together by Vin is the best out there. ... I believe in the science behind nutrition and that is exactly what Vin showed me."

Monique M.

My first master’s degree is in Human Nutrition, my second is in Human Movement / Kinesiology (a broader scope of exercise science), and my PhD is in Interdisciplinary Nutrition, with the interdisciplinary part being exercise. My PhD research focused on the effects of nutritional ketosis combined with a well-rounded strength and conditioning exercise program on mitochondrial function, body composition, and markers of metabolic health.
