Phil and his love for junk food, yo-yo dieting and fad exercise workouts started 20 years ago and took him nowhere. He was frustrated with his weight and the frustration finally reached its limit after he had to purchase two airline seats because he was 320lbs and could not fit in a single seat. That moment was a defining moment in his life and the motivation he needed to know that it was time to study fitness and nutrition for himself and get healthy before it was too late.
He made lifelong changes and learned methods behind success. He focused on the inner workings of why and how things function with regards to exercise, the human body, and nutrition. Phil is excited to pass on his knowledge and experience to you to help you reach and maintain your fitness goals.

Hannah started her wellness journey after moving to Arizona. She developed a love for nutrition, eating foods she loves, being active, and finding balance in her life again. Hannah adopted a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle that has significantly improved her health. She previously suffered from cystic acne and frequent migraines, which have almost entirely resolved.

Nadia Munoz, MS, NTP is a health coach who holds a B.S. in Social Psychology, M.S. in Leadership from Grand Canyon University and has various certifications for fitness and nutrition. She is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Precision Nutrition L1 Coach, USATriathlon L1 Coach, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
Nadia was born and raised in El Paso, TX and has lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 17 years. Her fitness journey started in 2009 when she started running. As much as she enjoyed working out, there were several components missing to achieve good health. Her nutrition was not in line with her goals and like a lot of endurance athletes, a poor diet was excused as long as she ran it off. After she completed her second Ironman in 2016, she experienced health issues, including severe adult cystic acne and weight gain that she could not get a handle of. Nadia wanted to avoid medication so she researched several nutritional protocols and decided to change her diet. Within a year, she noticed a significant change in her energy levels, she lost weight, her acne was gone and she was able to stop using her asthma inhaler. She realized that this was a result of changing her diet and recognized the healing power of food. This sent her on a trajectory of learning more about how food is medicine.
Nadia has spent the last 5 years researching and learning about the importance of nutrition and how food, movement and lifestyle can heal the body. Since the experience of her own health journey, she understands the frustration so many have about not knowing where to start with their health, feeding a family a tasty and nutritious meal, making time to cook, or making healthier choices while dining out.
Nadia enjoys providing the guidance and support people need to achieve good health and considers herself their biggest cheerleader when they decide to make their health a priority. As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Nadia works with clients one on one to help them optimize their health through holistic health practices. She helps reduce the symptoms of chronic illness through nutrition and lifestyle practices, but is not limited to helping anyone who wants to learn how to make better choices. She teaches clients basic kitchen skills, how to read labels and will even do grocery tours. As a personal trainer, Nadia works with clients of all levels, ages and in various settings. She has taught group fitness classes and worked with clients one on one. She emphasizes the importance of staying injury free and building strength to move about their day without pain.
Nadia participates in endurance sports and has completed two Ironman triathlons, and several half Ironman distance races. She likes to hike, lift weights, read, ride her bike and listen to podcasts. She enjoys time with her family and dog and is always up for a spontaneous day trip.
Please email Nadia for pricing and to set up an appointment.

Crystal Geer is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who works with patients of all ages, specializing in the treatment of orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, and chronic pain. She strives to help her patients understand their pain, condition, or injury with the end-goal of empowering them to improve their overall health and get back to doing the things they love to do.
In the early stages of treatment, Dr. Geer focuses on the use of manual therapy, dry needling, and therapeutic exercise to restore and normalize movement. Then she progresses to training techniques that encompass integration of full body stabilization to help her patients learn the biomechanics of movement specific to their daily activities, sports, or hobbies.
In her free time, Dr. Geer loves spending time with her husband and two teenage children. They have an active lifestyle filled with sports and scouts, and they love getting outdoors for hiking, backpacking, and canoeing adventures whenever possible. Her favorite activities for regular exercise are tennis, CrossFit, Pilates, and Olympic Weightlifting.
Dr. Geer has always had a love of exercise, the study of human movement, and working with people. In her college studies, she earned degrees in Exercise Science and Kinesiology, which led to her working as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) for 11 years. She had the desire to delve deeper into understanding injury and chronic pain, which led to her complete her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Northern Arizona University in 2017. She’s been working as a Physical Therapist since then and continues to pursue continuing education in her field so that she can provide comprehensive, wholistic care for her patients.

Dr. Young is an Arizona native who grew up in Cave Creek and now lives in north Scottsdale with her husband, Jon, and four kids. She is a currently practicing, board-certified, Emergency Medicine physician working and is certified as a diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. She graduated medical school from Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale, AZ in 2006 and completed Emergency Medicine residency at Maricopa Medical Center in 2009. She has been practicing for 15 years.
As an Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Young sees patients at their most critical points, frequently on the worst day of their lives. Her job is to stabilize, rule out life-threatening conditions and treat any acute illnesses. Often what brings patients to the emergency department are things that could have been avoided with lifestyle changes. Heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes are among the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States. Through lifestyle changes, patients are able to significantly reduce their risk for all of these!
Dr. Young loves working in the emergency department but found herself wishing she had more time to spend with patients. When she sees patients in the ED, she can touch briefly on simple things they can do to take charge of their health, but her interactions are limited by time. She is excited to start Sozo Lifestyle Medicine so that she can change her pace, develop relationships with her patients and help support them as they take charge of their health. Through lifestyle interventions that reverse chronic disease as well as her skillset as an Emergency Medicine physician, she will do her best to help her patients stay healthy and out of the emergency department.
Her hope for Sozo is to create a place of community, health, service, life and joy.
