I’m a Registered Nurse, Personal Trainer, and Nutrition Coach. After suffering a devastating brain injury in May of 2019, I decided to leave nursing in the ICU and explore new ways to make an impact on people’s lives.

As a nurse, my passion is and always will be helping others.

Being a gay man I understand the difficulties we face in our mental, physical and sexual health. Being a nurse, I know the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the three and how to do it.

I combined my passion and knowledge and created Body by Bernard.

I spent my first year recovering from my brain injury going to physical therapy 5-6 days/week. I learned how to walk again, among many other daily movements, that I used to never have to think about. With many physical limitations at first, I needed an outlet to focus my mind on that I could do from the comfort of my home.

In my free time, I began building my website where I could develop health and wellness plans for gay men. Along with those plans, I offer research-based articles on mental, physical, and sexual health topics as they pertain to gay men. Now I use my story of survival to help empower ga men to reach their full potential, whether it’s boosting confidence, muscular strength, or increasing their social/love life.
