The Healthy Life System guides you through a transformative process, empowering and inspiring you to make choices that safeguard your health today and pave the way to the vibrant future you deserve.
The Progressive Adaptation Cycle
The Healthy Life System is a deep, personal process of self-assessment, acceptance, and gradual adaptation driven by The Progressive Adaptation Cycle.
The Progressive Adaptation Cycle gives you a framework for honoring the internal changes (assessment, acceptance, alignment) that lead to impactful external change (adaptation & evolution).
The purpose of The Healthy Life System is to provide you with insights and strategies that will support you to feel certain in your ability to create change in your life and adapt to a changing world in ways that support good health.

Your Healthy Life Expert
Kevin Peterson, MS

Healthy living can feel like a lonely road. Often, it can feel like nobody else cares and it’s difficult to begin to act differently around family and friends. They may question what you are doing, and not always in a friendly way. Some may even label you as ‘crazy’ or ‘extreme’ and tell you that you are wrong for doing something that you know is going to make a huge positive impact on your health and your life.
I went through years of this struggle. I started my journey at 26 years old. I was 335 pounds and just felt like I was getting sicker by the day. I had no energy, no mental clarity, and everything just felt difficult. Once I realized I could change I made the choice to start approaching my life differently. Through a deep, personal process of self-assessment, acceptance, and gradual adaptation, I began to understand my body and its unique needs. I learned to listen to myself and respond in ways that fostered healing, balance, and well-being. This journey not only transformed my health but also instilled a sense of empowerment and clarity in my life.
It was that process of self-discovery and personal alignment that got me through when my life took unexpected twists and turns and when I didn’t feel like I had a lot of great support. I had the internal clarity I needed to make decisions that were right for my health vision in every circumstance and the confidence to maintain my commitment to healthy living practices, regardless of skepticism from family and friends. Inspired by my own recovery, I have spent the last 15 years coaching others, guiding them through the same reflective process that helped me. Seeing others regain their health, adaptability, and vitality reaffirmed the power of this method.
The Healthy Life System was created to help you develop the clarity, confidence, and conviction that you need to keep moving through these challenges with compassion for yourself and grace for others. You will learn to move confidently through your own insecurities and develop an understanding that what your skeptics are really struggling with is their own insecurities about their health and uncertainty about how to make things better for themselves. You will also learn how to become a mentor to them as they become interested in discovering what healthy living could look like for them.
With a background in biochemistry, certification as a lifestyle medicine professional, experience with radical health recovery, and a passion for collaborative coaching, Kevin has skills and presence to empower you to lean in to your unique awesomeness.
