Frequently Asked Questions

Thank you again for visiting my site. I’ve put together this FAQ section to help you better understand who I am, what I do, and how I can help you reach your health, fitness, or athletic goals.

Whether you’re looking to improve your diet, train more effectively, or navigate the path from high school athlete to the professional level, I bring a unique blend of experiences to the table, from playing professional basketball around the world to earning my master’s degree in Nutrition Education.

I’ve overcome asthma, Tourette Syndrome, and a series of major injuries to perform at the highest levels of sport, and now I use everything I’ve learned to help others thrive. 

I am a professional basketball player turned fitness expert and nutrition consultant with over a decade of international experience in sports. I played NCAA Division I basketball at Marist College and went on to a 10+ year career in top European leagues, even joining the Detroit Pistons for the 2015 NBA Summer League. Alongside basketball, I earned a master’s degree in nutrition education and built a platform to share science-backed health and fitness advice. Having grown up with severe asthma and Tourette Syndrome, I overcame these challenges, which shaped his passion for helping others achieve peak performance in life.

I have over 10 years of professional basketball experience in Europe and Eurasia. After graduating from Marist College in 2014, I began my professional career and competed in elite leagues such as the VTB United League, the Basketball Champions League, and the FIBA Europe Cup​. I also had a stint with the NBA’s Detroit Pistons during the 2015 Summer League and participated in a EuroLeague training camp with Olimpia Milano in 2022​. This extensive playing career has given me firsthand insight into high-level athletic training, teamwork, and discipline.

Along with an undergraduate degree in Communications, where I learned extensive research and writing skills, I earned a Master’s degree in Nutrition Education from American University (earned in 2022) and is an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer (certified in 2020)​. I combine academic expertise with pro-athlete experience to offer advice that is both highly educated and practical. Over the years, I have collaborated with experts and stayed current on exercise science, allowing me to provide personalized, science-backed fitness and nutrition plans​. My expertise has been recognized by major publications like Forbes, Sports Illustrated, AskMen, and Men’s Journal, where my insights have been featured​.

My personal story is one of overcoming adversity. I grew up battling severe exercise-induced asthma and Tourette Syndrome​, which made early athletic life difficult. Rather than giving up, I adapted and developed resilience, eventually excelling in sports through specialized training and determination. During my professional basketball career, I have also endured serious injuries – including several severe ankle injuries, a spinal stress fracture, and a severe bout of COVID-19​. Each setback taught me valuable lessons in recovery and peak performance, strengthening my commitment to helping others push past their challenges.

I provide a range of services to help people improve their fitness and athletic performance at any level:

  • Online Fitness Coaching: Personalized workout programs and nutrition guidance delivered remotely. I leverage my pro sports experience and nutrition education to design routines that fit your goals and lifestyle, helping you build strength, lose weight, or boost overall health.
  • Personalized Wellness Consulting: One-on-one health and fitness consulting for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness. This service focuses on everything from exercise and diet to sleep and stress management, giving you a comprehensive plan for long-term well-being.
  • Athletic Advising: Mentorship and advisory services for athletes from high school to the professional level. I act as a guide for athletic development – offering training tips, college recruitment advice, and career transition support – to maximize an athlete’s potential at each stage​​.

Yes. My expertise in fitness and health has been highlighted in several well-known media outlets. I have been featured in Forbes, Sports Illustrated, AskMen, and Men’s Journal, among others​. In these features, I often share professional insights on training, nutrition, and wellness. These media appearances underscore my credibility and the trust that industry leaders place in my knowledge.

Absolutely. I am the author of “Adam Kemp’s 7-Day Detox: A Natural Approach to Resetting Your Body and Mind,” a book that encapsulates his philosophy on nutrition and wellness. The book provides a 7-day plan – including meal plans, workouts, and daily habits – to help you naturally detoxify your body, boost your energy, and build sustainable healthy routines​.
