Olivier David Said, 65. Zero prescription medications. Never treated for a chronic condition.
Coaching is for people in a hard transition who want to come out of it feeling better.
You’re going through a divorce or the end of a long relationship.
Stress has taken over your days and your sleep.
Your health has changed and you want to rebuild your energy and your confidence.
A big life change, like retirement, a move, or a loss, has knocked your routine sideways.
You want to feel better, whatever your age, and you’re ready to do something about it.
I’m a coach, not a doctor. I never prescribe, and I never dismiss medical advice. Coaching never replaces medical or professional care. It works alongside it.
What I bring is natural optimism and a pragmatic attitude. When life gets loud, there is too much advice, too many rules, and too many opinions. I help you clear the noise and stay focused on the few things that actually move you forward.
We focus on results, not rules. How you feel. How you sleep. How much energy you have when you wake up. Those are the measures that matter, and they guide every step we take together.
I’m Olivier David Said. Most people call me Chef Olive.
I’ve worked in restaurants for 50 years, and in 2005 I founded Kitchen on Fire, a cooking school in Berkeley, California. Decades of running kitchens taught me how to stay calm under pressure, keep a team focused, and get the important things done.
I’m 65, I still train in Aikido and Krav Maga, and I’ve never taken medication for a chronic condition. I wrote Body Genius: The Extraordinary Intelligence Behind Health, Healing, and Longevity to share what I’ve learned about how the body takes care of us when we give it the basics.
When I did nutrition consulting, I learned that most people didn’t really want a meal plan. They wanted someone to talk to. So that’s what I do now. I coach the whole person, and I help you find your footing again.
