Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Zachary Dancel.

Zachary Daniel is the Chief Operating Officer of Nava Health, where he helps lead a movement towards more proactive, personalized, and longevity-focused healthcare.

His path into the health space wasn't traditional; it was personal. After his mother became severely ill and was failed by conventional medical care, Zach and his family turned to functional medicine in search of answers. That experience not only helped restore her health but also reshaped his entire perspective on how healthcare should work, focusing on root causes, not just symptoms.

Before stepping into the world of health and business, Zach was a Division I football athlete, earning full scholarships to the University of Maryland and Wake Forest University. The discipline, resilience, and accountability he developed through sport now fuel his leadership style and philosophy.

Today, he is passionate about helping people take ownership of their health, encouraging a shift away from reactive care towards prevention, data-driven decisions, and strong daily habits. His core message is simple but powerful: take control, stay consistent and become the CEO of your own health.
