Mike Patterson is a Houston area native with a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration and a long history with technology. He has enjoyed a decade as a medical radiographer, worked at NASA as a data analyst, and served as the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of an advertising and media agency.
In 2007, Mike started his own weight loss transformation and combined balanced macros, cardio, and strength training to lose over 100 pounds. He regularly enjoys weightlifting and cycling to maintain his health and fitness. After discovering the value of DEXA body composition scanning, metabolic testing and functional medicine in his own program, Mike combined his passions for fitness, data, and technology to bring Live Lean Rx to the Houston area.

She is married to Sean Gravely and they have 3 children Jaelyn, Logan and Grace. She enjoys strength training 5-6 days a week and has competed in both NPC and GBO events for transformation and figure. She also enjoys family time, binge watching true crime documentaries and quilting.
“I enjoy making people feel good about their body composition transformations no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they may be. Any progress is better than not trying at all, we learn much about ourselves through the small victories as well as the large ones. I have a passion for teaching anyone how to implement small practical changes that assist them in achieving big goals.” – Cindy
