I grew up in a chiropractic family where my father practiced for over 60 years, shaping my deep respect for natural healing and holistic health. From an early age, I was immersed in a philosophy that prioritized movement, nutrition, and proactive care over quick fixes.

As a college athlete, I was in peak physical condition, playing football and competing in rugby at a strong 180 pounds. Health and fitness were second nature to me.

But then life happened. Like many men, my focus shifted to building a career, raising a family, and handling responsibilities. The disciplined routine of my younger years faded, replaced by stress, long hours, and unhealthy habits. By my mid-40s, I had reached a tipping point: I weighed 221 pounds, felt chronically exhausted, and had lost control of my health.

Then everything changed. I saw Jack LaLanne workout in person at 92 years old, still strong, still thriving. That moment shattered the notion that aging meant decline. I realized that if I didn’t take action, I was headed down a path of low energy, preventable disease, and dependency. I refused to let that happen.
