Gary Collins

Gary Collins, MS, was raised in the High Desert at the basin of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in a rural part of California. He now lives part of the year in a remote area of northeast Washington State, and the other part of the year is dedicated exploring in his travel trailer with his trusty black lab Barney.\n \n Gary considers himself lucky to have grown up in a very small town experiencing fishing, hunting, and anything outdoors from a very young age. He has been involved in organized sports, nutrition, and fitness for almost four decades. He is also an active follower and teacher of what he calls “life simplification.” He believes that “Today we’re bombarded by too much stress, and not enough time for personal fulfillment. We’re failing to take care of our health and mental well-being. . . there has to be a better way!”\n \n Collins’s background is very unique and brings a much-needed perspective to today’s conversations about health, nutrition, entrepreneurship, self-help and self-reliance. He holds an AS degree in Exercise Science, a BS in Criminal Justice, and an MS in Forensic Science.\n \n He has a unique and interesting background that includes military intelligence, and roles as a Special Agent for the US State Department Diplomatic Security Service, the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the US Food and Drug Administration.\n \n In addition to being a best-selling author, Gary has taught at the university level, consulted and trained college-level athletes, and been interviewed for his expertise on various subjects by CBS Sports, Coast to Coast AM, The RT Network, and FOX News to name a few.\n \n The Simple Life website and book series (his total lifestyle reboot), blows the lid off conventional life and wellness expectations, and is essential for every person seeking a simpler and better life.
