Coach Jason has 20 years of martial arts experience, overlapping 15 years of competition in strength sports, and brings a wealth of knowledge to the fitness world as both a coach and an athlete. His list of accolades include gold medals in powerlifting and weighlifting, black belt in TaeKwonDo, purple belt in Brazilian Juijitsu, and a teammate on a 2012 CrossFit Regionals team for the Mid-Atlantic region. Additionally, Jason competed in the 2017 Nationals Weightlifting Championships, 2018 World Weightlifting Championships (Barcelona, Spain), and earned numerous National and World titles in Kettlebell Sport.

Jason still competes at a high level in Functional Fitness, kettlebell sport, and weightlifting competitions at 40 years old. After Jason served 10 years in the sports medicine industry, he took ownership of Top Tier Columbia in an attempt to teach others how to achieve their sport and fitness goals through safe and effective training methods over a lifetime. Jason was able to personally recover from a serious spinal injury and a torn bicep, and vow to lead through example by showing others how to avoid serious injury through incorporating intelligent and periodized training programs, combined with state of the art coaching methods and equipment.

Jason was blessed to be mentored by 1996 Olympics Sports Doc, Dr. Steven Horwitz over the last 15 years; Jason became a unique professional in the fitness world through his guidace. Most fitness professionals either focus only on sports performance, or only on injury prevention/ rehab. Most lack the ability to bridge the gap between the world of injuries and elite performance. Jason is lucky enough to be one of those select few professionals. The philosophy and methods Jason uses with his athletes and clients reflect this highly unique set of skills. As such, the culture of Top Tier Columbia showcases this uniqueness. Our community embraces our motto of, “form above all else,” and celebrates each other’s achievements in precision and technique through positive reinforcement and praise.

It is Cari’s mission to help others achieve optimal health status through individualized, science based nutritional therapy, shifting the emphasis of care away the one-sized-fits all mentality.  She holds a MS in Applied Clinical Nutrition (graduating summa cum laude, the highest honors), a MA in Management and a BS in Mathematics Physics.  With a board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential, the most advanced certification for nutrition professionals, Cari strives to continuously seek out learning opportunities to stay abreast of the latest scientific developments.  She is currently pursing continuing education at Functional Medicine University and has completed Advanced Ketogenic Training and a Fasting Certification through the American Nutrition Association.  Cari is a former Army officer and enjoys strength training, yoga, hiking and an occasional run.

 

When Cari’s own health was challenged, she became frustrated with the common symptom-masking “Band-Aid” approach.  Today, she works as an advocate to empower others to discover their underlying causes and helps to shift the terrain in which these symptoms, dysfunctions or disease exist through dietary and lifestyle modifications.  As a Functional Nutritionist, she accomplishes this by forming therapeutic partnerships, finding the root causes of dysfunction, and recognizing that everything in the body is connected.  One system cannot not work in isolation of another.

Cari provides individualized nutritional support for adrenal dysfunction, allergies and food sensitivities, autoimmunity, digestive health, emotional and addictive eating, hormonal balance, inflammatory conditions, weight management, metabolic health, sports nutrition, specific dietary needs, thyroid conditions, and much more.   If you want to change your life, change your diet!

“Don’t Just Live Longer, Live Healthier.” This is the mantra of Dr. Benjamin Gonzalez and his medical practice. Dr. Gonzalez has extensive training in Trauma, Emergency Medicine, Hormone Evaluation and Therapy, Genetics, Medical Nutrition, Obesity Medicine and Metabolic Repair, and Laser Surgery. He teaches other physicians advanced protocols in these subjects. As 24-year military veteran, pilot, father, and educator, Dr. Gonzalez is a highly sought-after physician for complex issues.

The current medical system waits until a disease progresses before intervention. The system waits until you break a bone before being diagnosed with osteoporosis, it waits until you develop diabetes or heart disease forcing the use of medications with potential side effects leading to further disease processes. The system passes out antidepressants for menopause rather than find nutritional or natural balanced hormonal solutions that decrease risk for heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancers. Dr. Gonzalez provides advanced medical care focusing on prevention and prediction of serious illness. Maximizing your current health and wellness and intervening early to prolong a healthy life is the goal. Atlantis Medical Wellness Center in Silver Spring, MD specializes in functional medicine and wellness care, hormone replacement therapy, sexual function, medical nutrition, weight loss, regenerative medicine, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. You will not find a more comprehensive medical center of excellence for metabolic repair.
