Tony Jacobsen: Living #UNBREAKABLE
Welcome to the story of resilience, positivity, and limitless possibilities. I’m Tony Jacobsen, and for over 30 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others embrace challenges, build confidence, and live healthier lives. From authoring books to coaching adaptive fitness, DJing, and advocating for inclusivity, my journey is rooted in one belief: life’s obstacles are opportunities to become #UNBREAKABLE.
Early Life and Personal Journey
“Being born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta wasn’t the challenge; figuring out how to thrive with it was the real journey.”
Born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.), commonly known as brittle bone disease, I’ve faced over 70 fractures throughout my life. But these experiences didn’t break me—they shaped me. Over the years, I’ve turned physical adversity into an #UNBREAKABLE mindset and a healthier body; including running and jumping, and even increasing my bone density by 70% through fitness, nutrition, and consistent effort.
“Strength isn’t just in your muscles; it’s in your mindset.”
Today, I live by my #UNBREAKABLE philosophy, showing others that challenges can be the foundation for strength, growth, and transformation.
