Tony is the founder of Power Life, a supplement line designed to help people take their fitness to the next level. The motivation to create Power Life was born when Tony was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare form of shingles that impacts the brain and causes facial paralysis and muscle weakness. In Tony’s extreme case, he was bedridden and suffered loss of balance, nausea, vomiting, had Bell’s palsy, and lost 25 lbs. of muscle mass. Power Life was created as a result of Tony working with specialists to understand how to manage his symptoms. With science-backed ingredients and cutting-edge formulas, Power Life’s portfolio of products maximizes fitness performance and optimizes wellness, allowing people to feel energized, strong, and confident every day, no matter their age or fitness level.
