About David Léasure

About David Léasure

Some people find their calling in a quiet moment. Mine came somewhere between three deployments in the United States Navy and a deep, personal reckoning with what it really means to be healthy — not just physically, but in mind, body, and spirit.

I'm David Léasure: author, veteran, and someone who has spent years learning (sometimes the hard way) that true wellness is about so much more than what you eat or how often you work out.


The Book That Started It All

My first book, Truly Healthy Now: A Guide to Attaining Enlightenment in Health and Fitness, is one man's revelation — born from the discipline of military service and the spiritual awakening that followed. It blends practical, no-nonsense health guidance with a deeper philosophy about what it means to live well.

I'm proud to say the book earned the 2024 Bronze and Finalist Global Book Award in both Health, Fitness & Dieting and Health — Alternative Medicine. But honestly, the award that means the most to me is when a reader tells me the book changed how they see themselves.

"This book is a must-read for anyone looking to transform their health and well-being."
— Liz Spencer, Singer/Songwriter

"David's approach to health is refreshing, holistic, and deeply human."
— Tricia Caputo, Massage Therapist


My Mission

I believe that health is a journey, not a destination — and that real transformation happens when we stop treating our bodies like machines and start listening to them. My work is about helping people find that connection: to themselves, to their habits, and to a life that actually feels good to live.

Whether you're picking up Truly Healthy Now, exploring Coffeeholism: The Case Against Caffeine, or joining my Meditation and Mindfulness Course, I hope something here resonates with you and helps you take one step closer to the life you want.
