I'm Matt Lovitt

20,000+ hours of coaching: Proven expertise in helping clients reach their full potential.

I have felt pain, desperation, and confusion.

I am an aggressive man, but I’ve learned to focus that energy.

I have gone to great lengths to understand life and break through resistance.

Ever heard of burning the candle at both ends? I torched the candle with a flamethrower for 10 years.

My health was destroyed, and I finally fixed it.

This is the story of why I do what I do:

The Beginning

I’ll never forget why my girlfriend broke up with me when I was 14. She said, “You’re cute, but he’s hot!”, “What’s the difference?”, I asked. “He’s got muscles!” She said. This began my journey into the world of transformation!

I started lifting weights, and my body began changing. I spent hours staring in the mirror. I loved having full control over the way my body looked and performed. It was the most amazing thing to me! Girls were more attracted to me.

Bullies started to avoid me. Guys were even more willing to shake my hand and be my friend. I parlayed these skills into a high school soccer state championship and college soccer scholarship.

I remember being very confused as to why more people weren’t as interested in making these transformational changes!

When something fascinates you more than anyone else around you, that’s when you know you’ve found your passion in life.

Growing and Learning

In college, I took my dieting to an extreme perfectionism. I specifically remember outperforming my entire soccer team during fitness drills after practice. I was so far ahead that the captains began yelling at me for making everyone else look so tired. It seemed like my dieting strategy had given me an extra gear above everyone else!

After college, in my 20’s, I was aggressive, intense, and arrogant. Even worse, I was blind to it. I was 23. I thought I was on top of the world! I had no idea I was about to be in so much pain, for such a long time.

I had just started a dream job in personal training working for my idol, Mackie Shilstone. This job was in a hospital. We used the most advanced testing. I had access to DEXA scans, metabolic breath testing, VO2 max stress tests, heart rate monitoring and world class pedometers.

This was 2007. We tracked everything. We used all of this data to create custom programs for each client. I had such a privileged opportunity at such a young age. I got to read medical journals that Mackie had already underlined. I got to see all of the programs he had developed for over 30 years. I got to work with professional athletes!

I worked with this data for 5 years. I thought I knew everything.

Hitting Low

They say youth is wasted on the young, and like a lot of young people, I thought I was invincible, until things began to fall apart.

I’ll fast forward to age 26, the lowest point of my life. I was walking out of the doctor’s office with my mother, after just testing negative for Lupus, she turned to me and said,

“Matt, maybe it’s all in your head.”

This was the rock bottom of my life. Everyone thought I was crazy, and rightfully so. I had seen many doctors. I had a long list of symptoms.

That bottom line in the picture above represents my cortisol production.

(energy and focus horomone)

Traditional western medicine was not helping me.

I had to approach things differently.

There had to be a better way to fix things.

I started to realize that the entire body is fully integrated, each system dependent on the others.

I tracked data so I could measure my progress objectively.

I tested blood, hair, saliva, urine and feces. I tested for food intolerances, metal toxicity and parasites.

I tested my cortisol levels. I put myself through protocols and retested everything.

I found Functional Medicine and Naturopathic doctors. We tested everything.

I spent thousands of dollars on testing, consultations, supplements and IV treatments.

I went deep into Ayurvedic medicine!

I discovered an herbal protocol that shifted my body back into balance more than anything else I had ever tried.

I did the Pancha Karma cleanse, twice.

I PAID FOR IT

To date, I have spent over $200,000 on doctors, health professionals, supplements, various treatments, testing, research books, seminars, courses, trainings, certifications, private coaching, and immersions abroad.

I had a budget reserved for healing.

None of this was covered by insurance because it was considered “alternative.”

This healing experimentation became more than a hobby. It was a real education, and it was the study of healing. I did this not just to become better at what I do, but to fix myself and get my life back!

After all of this testing and research, what did I learn?

Each diet, cleanse, or healing protocol requires planning, organization, and disciplined execution.... AND A LOT OF INTRINSIC MOTIVATION. *see Performance Coaching

To be honest, I was embarrassed.

My job was helping people get healthier, but I was ridiculously unhealthy.

I was able to repair my health to optimum standards because it was an absolute MUST!

Because I was in so much pain, I was motivated.

I needed to take control of my life. I spent 2 years working in Physical Therapy.

I became Level 1 and Level 2 Certified for Functional Movement Screening.

I Did It My Way

Then, at age 29, I opened up my own personal training studio.

Because I had limited focus, I only trained clients for 30 or 45 minutes. This forced me to be effective with my custom programs.

With no boss, no employees, no girlfriend, no pets and no roommates, there was very little stress or responsibility in my life. I noticed a jump in my energy with this newly acquired freedom.

New Adventures

At age 30, my brother and I decided to enter an extreme adventure race. I severely injured my back just training for the event! I knew better than to continue, but my ego got the better of me.

I was done with these injuries!

At the same time, I had just read a book on courage and met a girl that inspired me to face my fear of traveling across the world. I went to Bali for 6 weeks to immerse myself in Yoga.

Fast Changes

4 months later, at age 32, I immersed myself in the world of fasting. I found myself fasting for 8 days on an island in Thailand. I was amazed at what detoxed out of my body over that eight-day period!

The girl I met in Bali brought me to a retreat center in Costa Rica to try THE African plant medicine, IBOGA.

The Iboga experience in Costa Rica was so mind blowing that I decided to travel all the way to the African jungle to see the Shaman work with the medicine.

I was even initiated into the Bwiti tradition!

This was a deep and truthful spiritual experience.

Breathing and Meditating

I traveled to Portugal for a breathing and meditation training.

There, after 50 hours of focused breathing and meditation, I gained a deeper level of sensitivity.

Then, I practiced Qi Gong every day for 3 months with a local Asian master. I learned to feel subtle energy moving through my body.

At age 34, in addition to my private personal training studio, I decided to start Pure Fitness & Yoga, a class-based fitness and yoga facility with my sister and my future wife.

Just one year later, we closed the yoga studio!

And my future wife and I broke up..

I learned a valuable lesson: Just because you are capable of achieving something, doesn’t mean you should. I simply didn’t enjoy teaching yoga classes!

I didn’t enjoy being at the center of a yoga community.

It felt feminine.

Learning by Failing

I am an aggressive man. In 2019, at age 35, after some serious emotional work, my future wife and I got back together.

I like to explore possibilities with honesty and move things forward…

I’m naturally aggressive.

I see the big picture.

I see the risk. I see the plan.

I enjoy intense conversations about life transformation.

I like digging deep into WHY we each desire something different in life.

That’s how I’m wired. That’s what I do for fun.

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

I needed to do something I loved.

Something I would do even if I wasn’t getting paid.

Something that gets me excited and gives me energy.

I can’t think of anything more exciting than having intense conversations about life transformation.

In 2020, I decided to shift my training business to Performance Coaching. I had spent over 15,000 hours talking with successful people, one on one, about life!

I could see that problems related to money, relationships, and organizational skills can affect our ability to stay healthy and perform consistently at a high level.

Then, I found Jairek Robbins, Tony Robbin’s son.

He and his wife Amanda started:

“Performance Coach University.”

I blazed through their coaching course and enjoyed every minute of it!

I became a certified Performance Coach.

Now, client results are on another level!

Their weekly meetings coaching continues to provide me with the necessary framework and tools to coach more effectively.

Transformation Station

So now, clients have given me permission to coach other parts of their lives!

It’s been a blast so far! I’ve been coaching people in New Orleans for over 20 years. It’s a challenging population.

The New Orleans culture values tradition, music festivals, rich food, and heavy drinking!

Talk about health coaching in the trenches!

It’s like asking people to leave a party to go meditate.

I’m swimming against the current down here.

While there is a need for growth in New Orleans, the culture simply doesn’t value it.

In spite of some major adversity, my New Orleans clients actually still get incredible results!

Living the Dream

In 2021, we got married!

In 2023, we had our son, Jack!

In 2025, we move to the beach!

VIRTUAL TRAINING AT ITS FINEST!

Lately, with my virtual training service I’ve been working with people outside of New Orleans, and it feels easy!

These clients are TRANSFORMING RAPIDLY and CRUSHING their goals.

My success in a place as challenging as New Orleans means I’ve heard all the excuses, I know all the unhealthy mind traps, and I’m uniquely positioned to help you succeed, no matter the circumstances.

I've spent over 20,000 hours coaching and training High Performers from:

The United States Navy

Professional Athletes

Rockstars

CEO's

BUSY DADS!

Countless business owners

Thousands and thousands of pounds have been lost.

I am also a guest speaker for PCU and Success Coaching.

I'm currently teaching a continuing education course for mental health professionals in the state of Louisiana.

Time for a New Approach

Our health, political, and media systems are very confusing.

- 70% of people hate their job.

- It seems what is “normal” doesn’t actually work.

-Our country’s obesity rates are higher than ever.

- Depression, anxiety, and suicide rates are at an all-time high.

- Our healthcare system doesn’t reverse disease.

We often need alternative solutions.

That’s why I have a job, and a purpose:

To guide people through this process.

I give you permission to break rules and take things to the next level.

Of course, it all comes from within YOU. I listen closely and ask questions until you discover the solution.

I provide accountability and share my network of experts and experience.

Seeing my clients make progress every day is what excites me!

My coaching is based on my personal experience and the experiences of hundreds of clients I have closely worked with.

I’m obsessed with transformation!

I know you can unlock your hidden potential!

What's possible if you really commited?

I am certain that you can dictate the outcomes in your life.

Thanks for reading all that,

- Matt.
