I can honestly say that my success is primarily thanks to the support of Get Healthy Now, and especially the wellness coaching program. It has given me the mental support and encouragement I’ve needed, which has boosted my confidence throughout this past year tremendously!

Congratulations to Dr. Brad Shuck for being Get Healthy Now’s Member of the Month for June. This month’s theme is Safety and Men’s Health. Keep reading to learn more about how Brad stays motivated to live a healthy lifestyle.
Brad has worked at the University of Louisville for 7 years as Associate Professor and Program Director in the Organizational Leadership and Learning, Department of Educational Leadership, and Evaluation and Organizational Development. His favorite hobbies are gardening and cutting the grass, which he finds relaxing. He also enjoys being creative: coloring with his daughter, painting, cooking, playing the drums and writing.
In the last 6 months, Brad focused on maintaining a steady presence at the gym. Even when life got busy, he was committed to making time for himself. During this time, he also improved his eating habits by cutting out pork, most red meat, and almost all gluten from his diet due to his daughter’s gluten allergy. For instance, he starts his day with a healthy green smoothie, and tries to eat as many leafy green vegetables as possible throughout the day.
Brad continues to set goals for himself and is working on cutting his overall body fat composition, and wants to gain lean muscle. His goal is to be 5 to 10lbs lighter by the summer! He credits his friend Kevin Rose for staying motivated. They workout together and challenge each other all the time at GHN.
What’s on Brad’s “Bucket List”? He wants to see the Northern Lights from the Blue Lagoon in Iceland with his wife and would love to see a Unicorn!
Hip-hip-hooray to June’s Member of the Month, Dr. Brad Shuck!
