Andres was a valuable addition to my professional team during my 2023 season. He helped me achieve all of my fitness and health goals through expertly guided meal planning, health analytics, glucose monitoring and more. His methodology is extremely thorough, and he would be a great resource for anyone looking to improve their health and wellness.

Andres has done an amazing job for me over a long term programme to gradually transform my health and wellbeing. I was very busy and approaching 50 so I wanted a coach to systematically guide me through a realistic long term plan to improve my quality of life. We tackled many different dimensions: sleep, diet, hydration, fitness, strength, VO2 in a fascinating way where Andres gave me deep insight and learnings in each area before together we figured out what was best for me and also realistic bearing in mind my lifestyle. My energy levels have gone through the roof, I’ve gradually lost 10% of my bodyweight whilst keeping enough energy to increase muscle mass, fitness and strength. We re-built my body so I could achieve a goal to run seriously again and I just competed my home town 10 mile road race, running 16km at a pace I was doing 5km at a year ago. But most importantly we’ve had a great relationship, a lot of fun along the way and figured out a way to do all this and still have time do everything else and have a great quality of life.

Andres is by far the best all encompassing health professional I have ever worked with. I started working with Andres because I had extreme food poisoning that affected me for over a year. With his help I restructured my gut biome, learned how to track, manage, and maintain my biomarkers, and gained muscle mass, getting me closer to my own personal physique goals. That alone should amaze you, but not only has he been the most phenomenal health coach I’ve ever worked with, he has also become a great friend. He has hosted group meetups, introducing me to countless likeminded professionals who have a passion for health, who have also become great friends. Having a community of liked minded people to help achieve your goals is priceless. I am now more competent, confident, and capable to handle health challenges myself. This is all due to Andre’s. I can’t describe how much this man has impacted my life. Do yourself a favor and work with him. It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made!

Trusting my intuition by working with Andres and the team at Know Your Physio was by far one of the best decisions I could have made for my long term health. Seeking knowledge can be quite overwhelming with all of the conflicting information about health, wellness, and physiology. Trusting Andres helped me unlock a potential that I felt was lost and without Andres and Know Your Physio I never would have discovered this.

I’m extremely grateful for you and our relationship. Beyond me being your client, you have truly inspired me and having you as a mentor is a true blessing. I knew that if I completely changed my life and became both educated on my body and diet I would grow my hair back but I was at such a low point in my life that it was hard to have the courage to be so different from so many kids my age while going through hell mentally.
You were and continue to be my biggest motivation to be different, strong, and practicing the art of not giving a fuck about what doesn’t matter. Your smile glows brother, it’s because you love what you do and you gave me that gift as well. For that, I owe you one.
I’m about to complete and receive my primal health and nutritionist certification. In these past weeks, I’ve learned so much from the course but also your podcasts and cant wait till I have a platform to further spread KYP to even more like-minds to inspire.

Man, these guys have been a game-changer for me. It's not just about shedding pounds – it's a whole lifestyle shift. The effectiveness is off the charts, and it's sustainable, which is key. Sure, there's this hypersensitivity to different environments, as you mentioned. Last night, I was practically counting the minutes to get home, dealing with the biometric tracking and all. But honestly, that's a minor hiccup compared to the overall benefits.
Stress management? Oh, it's been my savior. My stress levels were sky-high, but since our talks, it's like I found the secret sauce. I'm handling crazy work situations, covering for two sales guys, juggling quotes and responsibilities – it's intense, but I'm keeping my cool. A few months back, I'd have these frustration outbursts, tossing notebooks around, cursing the chaos. Not anymore. I still get those moments, wondering why I'm stuck with certain tasks, but I'm seeing the bigger picture. Once these guys are back, the chaos will settle.
And the diet! It's surprising how a seemingly more restrictive diet doesn't bother me at all. It's way more limiting than my previous paleo or keto adventures, but the difference is, I'm sticking to it effortlessly. It's been a revelation.
Now, exercise is the next frontier. The recent trip threw a wrench in the plans, but now that I'm back and ready to dive in, that's where I see real room for improvement. It's the missing piece, and I'm excited to see how it'll amplify the positive changes I've already experienced. These guys have been my partners in this journey, and I'm looking forward to leveling up even more. Cheers to a healthier, more balanced life!

I have to say, the past three weeks have been nothing short of transformative. The impact on my mental clarity and focus is astonishing. The brain fog is gone, and I feel genuinely refreshed. This newfound stamina allows me to work for six hours straight without feeling drained. It's been at least a decade since I felt this energized and productive. The improvements in productivity and overall well-being are already noticeable, and we're just getting started.
I took this initiative for a reason, and the results speak for themselves. The quick wins promised at the beginning of our journey are already manifesting. My sensitivity to healthy habits has increased, and I'm witnessing positive changes not just in myself but also in Bernie (business partner). We're just scratching the surface, and it feels good to finally prioritize my health after years of neglect.
For about 6-8 years, I neglected my sleep, health, and hydration. The damage seemed irreversible, but your guidance has shown me that change is possible. Your emphasis on letting go of the past and embracing a new identity has been powerful. This journey is a form of self-love and an investment in well-being. I'm excited about the upcoming exploration of neurogenesis, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial enhancement. Everything is working, and I'm loving it. Thanks for guiding me toward a healthier, more productive life!

Let me break it down,
So, there's this vibe, this whole thing happening, and it's like finding a missing piece. There was a time when energy and motivation were my jam, and now, with what's rolling here, it's like circling back to that sweet spot.
We're diving into health and wellness, and that's why I jumped on board. But it's more—it's about feeling alive, pushing limits. Yet, the real gold is in those connections, the genuine ones. It's like we're all digging deep together, each on our unique paths.
This ain't just good timing; it's like the stars aligned. I'm fully invested, no doubt. Thanks for this journey, for making it real. Here's to going even deeper, unlocking more together.

Andres Preschel is an exceptionally well-spoken, educated coach for health, fitness, and business ventures. Andres gave my business team the ideal outline and philosophy behind the intricacies of designing an optimal business model/website.
Andres's team quickly provided me with an overview and detailed description/transcription of the topics discussed during our meetings for further review. I feel much more prepared, and I am grateful for the time Andres took to help my team harvest future success.

To be honest, when I first signed up for Andres’ program I was expecting nothing more than a workout routine with some tips here and there. That could not have been further from the truth. With our first meeting, Andres made it clear that this was no ordinary fitness program. He explained to me that this program would help me understand my body, both physically and mentally.
After getting setup with some health sensors, we identified that the quality of my sleep was atrocious. I should’ve known that having to take 1hr+ naps on a daily basis was not normal. Andres quickly helped me identify common problems with sleep and certain habits I could begin implementing to improve my sleep. I kid you not, within a few weeks I was completely done with my naps and now I have more energy throughout the day than I thought possible. Andres also helped me come up with fitness goals I wanted to achieve by the end of our program. After identifying these goals, within a few days Andres had a completely unique packet (later converted to app format for easier access) with multiple workout programs and routines as well as helpful nutrition tips I could implement to help me achieve my goals.
Every week, we would meet for an hour to discuss progress for that week and to make sure I was on track for my goals. Aside from discussing updates, Andres would slowly introduce the scientific backing for all of the routines I was implementing. Whether it was discussing the effects blue light has on our mind or the “superfoods” I was introducing into my diet, these discussions were nothing short of fascinating.
As a student, Andres understood that my mental wellbeing needed to be prioritized to ensure I would not only do well in school, but also be productive the rest of the day. By introducing me to meditation and several breathing techniques, I was able to manage my stress and workload with ease. I am confident that these habits will stick with me for the rest of my life. Saying that working with Andres has changed my life would be an understatement. I cannot be more grateful for the invaluable habits Andres has instilled in me.

To be honest, I was hesitant of virtual trainers, especially one that I found on Instagram but Andres helped to lay my skepticism aside. After three months of fitness and wellness training, I'm not only in better shape but I also have a better mindset toward food,exercise and nutrition. So far, I've lost about 15 pounds while still retaining muscle. The last time when I was this weight, I was too thin because I had lost so much muscle. Andres is the real deal with his no BS (bro science) approach--only scientific, evidence-based knowledge. His die-hard commitment for helping others is real which helped to encourage me throughout the process. I would have never gotten to this stage in my fitness journey without his guidance, honesty and passion.

Working with Andres has profoundly changed my way of life for the better. He and I were able to take a deep dive on my health that gave me everything I needed to level up my health and performance beyond what I imagined was possible. I’m humbled by our experience working together to say the least. Cheers to a long, healthy, and fun life!

I would like to add that I am very impressed by [Andres’] level of knowledge at such a young age. I have been a physician for 12 years and am just starting to feel like I know how to help people in terms of nutrition and exercise (which also speaks to the lack of those topics in medical school education, but I digress)

I have been following Andres on his social media for one year already. What impresses me the most about him is that he is hands on. Everything that he recommends he tries on himself first. His book and collaboration with the Doctor is nothing more than a testament of his commitment to back up his daily living with science and medicine. There should be more writers on this field that do what they preach. Everyone should read a book like this one!!

I just want to thank you for helping me understand the importance of nutrition in everyday life. It’s helped my energy levels, my sleep, and overall focus. Everything has improved with your help and guidance these past 6 months with your blog posts and all of the questions you’ve helped me find answers to. I don’t think you understand… My diet and lifestyle is solely based off your teachings and findings—like, I wouldn’t be eating things like dates, beets, dark cholocate, and sardines if it weren’t for you! What I love about your content is that it isn’t about bodybuilding, but rather about what’s best for our bodies in the long run, and what will help us operate at the highest level naturally.

I really enjoy what you stand for Andres, thanks for all you do. Cheers!

You know i never really used Instagram much until i started following your page. Always looking forward to new content and grateful that I'm more informed than I've ever been. Progress has been good, all these foods i always thought tasted "too healthy" and weren't "normal food" actually taste great, are what you're supposed to eat, and leave me feeling more satisfied after meals. And it all started with that ONE convo we had at the round table in the library…

Andres is a natural podcaster!!
With a great voice, super-fast brain, he is able to formulate the most interesting questions right on the spot. He is also has a great sense of humor. His podcasts are a wealth of knowledge and his questions make them an even more enjoyable experience. They may cover topics from exercise, food, nutrition all the way to EMF and space science. Plan to listen with some time on your side, because you may find yourself listening to a few podcasts in a raw. If at 26 years of age his team and himself are able to generate such great content, imagine in 5-10 years from now....

Andrés Preschel exhibits an unwavering commitment to continuously learning about the intricacies and interconnectedness of our physiology and neurology within the whole system that is the human body, sharing all of the invaluable knowledge along the way via his ever-evolving #KnowYourPhysio podcast. Through listening to the podcast, I continue to learn about the detailed science behind the newest discoveries of how our interconnected neuro-physio systems operate - explained clearly and succinctly for those of us that lack the formal training in the relevant scientific fields.
Because Andrés has developed a vast amount of knowledge through his own research and practical life applications of his research, his podcast interviews with his guests in varying fields of expertise cut through the noise and really delve deep into the core wisdom of any topic on hand. Many times I need to listen to specific episodes in order to really catch all of the wealth of information that is revealed in what feels like the shortest 60 minutes I’ve ever experienced.
My background in Philosophy includes a lifetime of interest in the underlying intricacies of our human intuition. Andrés has brought an element of that focus and somehow has encompassed a ‘physiological intuition’ into his conversations which has helped complete the picture of our mind-body-spirit connection for me. Detailing scientifically-backed processes of optimizing our bodies’ systems as a whole through his podcast conversations with prominent experts in the varying related fields is a staple in my continued life goal of showing how age can be nearly irrelevant when the system of the body is properly tuned to it’s best performance capability.
A little-known fact that has made me become even more inspired by Andrés than I already had been is when I became aware of how he was able to convert a life-altering impediment into one of his most incredible strengths: his voice. My career in television and film production has created an ability for me to quickly recognize those rare voices that stand out for being both very pleasing to listen to combined with superior diction. Andrés’ voice has always stood out as one of those rare combinations. After getting to know Andrés I found out that he had a debilitating stutter (speech impediment) when he was younger. Incredibly, he not only was able to overcome this impediment but was actually able to turn his voice into one of his most intriguing qualities - one of the rare voices that can easily be listened to for hours at a time while also having extremely clear, impeccable diction.
I truly wish everyone can share the gift I’ve discovered in Andrés Preschel. For the betterment of your mind, body, spirit and thus your overall quality of life, find a podcast that intrigues you and have a listen … I can promise that once you start listening, you’ll want to hear them all. The best part is, new episodes with even more knowledge keep coming.
