CLAYTON BURTON: FINDING INNER PEACE THROUGH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELLNESS

CLAYTON BURTON JULY 2025

I truly believe feeling whole in life comes from the optimal balance of the physical and spiritual being. As a former Division 1 athlete, I have had a lot of outside pressure put on me. 

I don’t think of anything as pressure; I look at everything as an opportunity. Whether you succeed to fail, you can always learn. And when you are learning, you are improving, which is a win in and of itself.

Clayton Burton was a former Duke Blue Devils Linebacker

I got my Economics degree with a minor in Science and Medicine from Grinnell College, where I played football and baseball as well. I then went to Dartmouth for my first business degree. I then got my MBA and played football at Duke, where at the end I had many workouts with NFL teams. I am still in the process of playing football professionally while also engaged in many business ventures.

I am a deeply religious person who loves spending time in nature and with my family. Health, both physical and mental, is my number one priority in life. From my unique background, I have learned so much and have also formed so many great relationships within the health and wellness industry. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you all and connecting this community with other prominent industry figures who have this same passion.

Clayton enjoys time in nature

"I am very passionate about health and wellness"

I am very passionate about the health and wellness industry and have always looked to unique ways to get my edge. I start every day with a nice glass of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated, stretch, read, and either run or swim. I have tried many different methods and technologies and have learned a lot from this. I am very passionate about nutrition because you get out of your body what you put into it. I strive to pass this knowledge onto those around me.
