HELLO, I’M JAMAL.
Certified as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and as an Ultra Running Coach by UESCA, my aspiration is to connect with and support my community, empowering others to navigate their health challenges and live their best, thriving lives.
My deeper journey into health and wellness began 23 years ago with the birth of our first daughter. Fatherhood shifted my perspective, drawing me toward a more intentional, nurturing way of life. My wife and I built our own home and raised our family off the grid on a hilltop in the Finger Lakes region of New York, surrounded by nature and guided by simplicity. As we navigated the realities of raising four daughters in today’s complex health landscape, I became firmly committed to a natural, holistic lifestyle—both at home and in my work. As a custom home builder focused on natural building practices, I carried those same values into the spaces I created. In 2020, I completed a 3,000-square-foot custom home that now operates as a successful, unique vacation rental, designed to support comfort, well-being, and connection to place.
In 2022, I faced one of life’s most defining moments with a diagnosis of lymphoma. I chose an integrative, holistic path—one that asked for full presence and commitment—focusing on nutrition, movement, mindset, and spiritual alignment. That experience reshaped my relationship with health and resilience. I returned to the trails and to life with renewed strength, clarity, and purpose. Today, I continue to live this commitment daily—showing up fully as a husband and father, as an athlete committed to growth, and as a coach dedicated to helping others discover and trust their own capacity for healing and endurance.
Vitality Trails is the continuation of my unique journey—a space where endurance, wellness, and connection come together. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and certified Ultra Running Coach, I help clients cultivate balance, resilience, and vitality in both life and sport. Each path is personalized—whether through focused health coaching, dedicated ultra training, or an integrated program that unites the two. My purpose is to help others strengthen their foundation, expand their endurance, reach their dreams, and live in alignment with their full potential.
