L.A. Aguayo
L.A. Aguayo is living proof that a diagnosis is not a destiny.
Born with severe hemophilia B — the first in his family — L.A. was told what his body could never do. Instead, he became the first severe hemophiliac to step on a bodybuilding stage and went on to take 2nd place in Men's Physique at the 2022 Arnold Amateur.
As host of the HemoLife Podcast, L.A. has real conversations about living an elite life with a bleeding disorder — training, nutrition, mental health, family, and what's next in treatment. He's the author of Adversity = Opportunity and Chronic Physique: The Resilient Blueprint, founder of Hemolife.org, and the man behind UNHERD, a gym-to-streetwear brand built for the black sheep who refuse to follow.
When he's not behind the mic, L.A. works full-time in the hemophilia community, coaches joint-conscious training, and is a proud father of four.
