About Brien Shamp

For more than 35 years, I have dedicated my career to helping people improve their health, strength, and quality of life through practical, sustainable wellness programs. I began my career as a fitness and wellness coach and eventually built and operated a Northern California wellness center that generated over $2M in annual revenue, leading teams of health professionals across multiple locations and supporting thousands of clients on their health and performance journeys. Today I work within a luxury athletic club environment while also operating my own coaching practice, supporting clients both locally in the San Francisco Bay Area and remotely. I also collaborate with health professionals through a national telehealth platform focused on metabolic health and lifestyle transformation. A central part of my work is a framework I developed called 7 Daily Primal Needs, which integrates breathing, hydration, nutrition, sleep, movement, mindset, and connection into a simple system designed to improve metabolic health, build resilience, and support long-term longevity. Throughout my career I have worked with thousands of individuals ranging from everyday adults to athletes, helping them improve strength, reduce pain, enhance performance, and build sustainable lifestyle habits that support long-term health. I am particularly passionate about helping adults — especially those over 50 — better understand their bodies and take ownership of their health. Too many people feel overwhelmed, confused, or dependent on a healthcare system that often fails to provide clear, practical guidance. My role is to help bridge that gap by providing clarity, structure, and supportive coaching environments where individuals can regain energy, strength, and confidence in their health. Today I am especially interested in leadership opportunities where I can help organizations develop innovative wellness programs, mentor coaching teams, and create environments that support healthier, longer, and more active lives.
