Jeremy Grant joins Michelle Lynne to share how his platform, Backstage Wellness, helps musicians build healthier, more sustainable lives. A professional trombonist since 1992 and a former member of the U.S. Air Force Band for 20 years, Jeremy explains how mandatory fitness testing first made him notice the connection between physical health and musical performance. Better sleep, nutrition, exercise, and recovery all made playing feel easier, which eventually led him to become a certified health coach, personal trainer, and nutrition coach.

Throughout the conversation, Jeremy emphasizes a realistic, individualized approach rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all system. He works with musicians to identify their biggest obstacles, often lack of time, stress, poor sleep, or uncertainty about where to begin, and helps them build sustainable habits from the smallest possible step. He highlights movement as an easy starting point, while also stressing the importance of sleep, recovery, and stress management techniques like box breathing. For touring artists especially, he advocates balance over perfection, encouraging better choices when possible and grace when circumstances are less than ideal. His message is simple and encouraging: start where you are, do what you can today, and build from there.
