Hey, I'm Cez.
I've been in HCMC on and off since 2012. Started as a personal trainer, opened my own studio, worked with hundreds of clients across Asia and Europe. On the outside - fit, successful, knew what I was doing.
On the inside, something was off.
Sleep problems. Gut issues. Chronic inflammation I couldn't explain. Then chronic knee bursitis stopped me from training BJJ - something I'd done for years. Doctors told me expensive surgery was the only option.
Something didn't feel right about that, so I kept looking.
That's when I started digging deeper than conventional medicine was willing to go.
I spent three years studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbalism in Poland. Then Functional Medicine. Then bloodwork analysis - learning to read markers the way most doctors don't, looking for dysfunction before it becomes disease.
The knee healed. Without surgery. And I understood my body in a way I never had before.
That's what Awake Strong is built on.
