Join host Rich LaMonica on The MisFitNation as he welcomes US Navy Veteran Chris Norris, founder of Cognitive Fitness Coach, endurance athlete, mindfulness teacher, and a veteran with 24 years supporting Naval Special Warfare Operators across the most demanding environments on Earth.

Chris’s journey is equal parts grit, trauma, transformation, and rebirth. After years of high-stress operations led to burnout, addiction, anxiety, and depression, he rebuilt his life from the inside out—earning a Master’s in Social Work, recovering his mental health, and discovering the power of meditation, breathwork, and neuroscience-based training.

Today, Chris helps high performers, veterans, teams, and leaders develop clarity, focus, emotional balance, and sustainable resilience. His approach—Cognitive Fitness—trains the mind like a muscle, blending mindfulness, breathwork, and neuroplasticity to help people break patterns, rewire habits, and create a healthier, more intentional life.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Chris’s raw personal story—from combat support to collapse to rebuilding

• How mindfulness and breathwork changed his life and now change others

• What “Cognitive Fitness” really means and how to train it

• Tools for managing stress, trauma, and mental overload

• How veterans and high performers can create balance without losing their edge
