Weslye Saunders: From NFL Veteran to Wellness Entrepreneur Transforming Health Through Advocacy and Innovation

From NFL veteran to wellness entrepreneur: Weslye Saunders, better known as Wes, has lived a story of transformation few can match. A former NFL tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts, Wes faced the highs of professional athletics and the lows of personal struggle. Once an insecure 300-pound athlete battling depression, stress, and negative publicity, he turned his darkest hours into the foundation for his life’s mission: helping others heal, thrive, and win.

Through unwavering faith, family support, and self-love, Wes rebuilt himself from the inside out—proving that transformation begins with decision, discipline, and love. Today, he leads a dual movement: Win with Wes, a consciousness-based coaching program that integrates meditation, breathwork, dance therapy, and holistic modalities, and Wes Joose, a 100% organic green superfood supplement designed to enhance gut health, boost immunity, and eliminate brain fog.

Beyond his ventures, Wes is a mental and physical health advocate, educating underrepresented communities across the U.S. on the gut-brain connection and holistic living. He serves on the University of Miami’s Global Cannabis and Psychedelics Research Collaboratory Steering Committee, co-leads Miami-Made’s Thriving Tuesday for wellness entrepreneurs, and is an upcoming “survivor-style” Netflix reality series cast member (2026).

Wes’s story is not only about personal resilience but also about redefining what true influence looks like: impact rooted in authenticity, service, and holistic abundance.
