Hi! My Name is Bryan

I'm the Founder of Be Present Lifestyle

My journey to mindfulness and meditation is a unique one.

I was born with a very rare disorder called Propionic Acidemia. Propionic Acidemia is a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to properly process certain proteins and fats. It is classified as an Organic Acid Disorder, which causes an abnormal buildup of substances known as organic acids

I spent many years in and out of the hospital during my childhood. At the age of three, I suffered a metabolic stroke and spent four days in a coma. My doctors said I would never walk or talk. Through determination, perseverance, and a lot of support, I made a remarkable recovery, although my dexterity has been affected.

Due to Propionic Acidemia, I also developed cardiomyopathy and stage 2 kidney disease. In addition, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012.

The combination of Lyme disease and Propionic Acidemia began to take a tremendous toll on my life. I experienced frequent flare-ups, and my ammonia levels would skyrocket, often leaving me bedridden or hospitalized. After years of searching for answers without finding lasting relief, I was close to giving up.

Then I discovered mindfulness and meditation—the true meaning of living in the present moment.

For years, I had been trapped in a cycle of worrying about my health and what the future might bring. Through mindfulness, I learned that meditation gives our minds an opportunity to rest from constant thinking. Who knew that simply focusing on the breath could be so life-changing?

Meditation not only transformed my mindset, but it also helped me develop a deeper understanding of myself. That self-awareness inspired me to adopt many healthy habits, including a daily yoga practice, journaling, writing poetry, practicing Reiki, and nourishing my body with foods and supplements that support my well-being

Today, I have built a toolkit of practices, along with the support of my doctors, that helps me live a happier and more fulfilling life.

I have learned that we cannot change the past—we can only learn from it. We cannot control the future—we can only influence it through the choices we make in the present moment.

Mindfulness and meditation have transformed my life, and it is now my passion to share these practices with others so they, too, can discover greater peace, resilience, and joy.

My mission is simple: to help others cultivate peace, resilience, and presence, regardless of the challenges they face. I believe that healing begins when we learn to embrace the present moment.
