From Good Health Back to Great Health: My Personal Reset

Nobody wants to lose their health. We all want to feel amazing. For me, the shift didn’t happen overnight. It wasn’t like the documentary Supersize Me where things went downhill in 30 days. For me, it was a slow drift over five years.

I still feel good most days — sometimes even great — but when I look back, my best health was from 2013–2016, in my early 30s. Even into 2019, I was still thriving. But the last nine years have been different. Between raising three kids, growing a business, and traveling the world for work, I haven’t prioritized my health the way I once did. And honestly, I wouldn’t change those years — this season of family and life come first. But now, as I approach 40 next June, it feels like the perfect time to buckle back down.

That means:

• Eating a little less and a little cleaner.

• Saying no to ice cream every time the kids have it.

• Making sure my workouts happen, even on busy days.

• Giving myself space, stillness, and time to reset.

The Deeper Why

One of my biggest “whys” is also one of my biggest challenges. Our middle daughter, Hadley, has a rare genetic disorder called HADDS (yes, coincidentally the same as her name). She is thriving and amazing, but she requires an extra level of care. I can’t just head downstairs for a workout while she’s watching TV — because in that time, she might decide to dump a gallon of milk on the floor or wander off to visit a neighbor.

But here’s the deal: there’s always a way. We all have responsibilities, jobs, and blockers that make prioritizing health harder. Hadley is also one of the reasons I want to reset. I want more energy when I’m with her. I want to be able to keep up with all three of my kids.

Yes, physical health matters. But the biggest difference shows up in my mindset. When I don’t prioritize my health, it’s hard to give my best.

Health Is Not a Comparison Game

This journey isn’t about comparing my weight, bloodwork, or pictures to anyone else. The only person I compare myself to is… me.

I know what my best health looks like. I know what it feels like. Over the next several months, I’ll share biomarkers, weight, photos, wins  and struggles. Not as a measuring stick for you — but as a guide to show what’s possible when you track, refocus, and invest back into yourself.

To me, the definition of health is simple:
“To be your most optimized self.”

But only if it’s done in a way that you can enjoy and sustain. Health isn’t a straight line. It has ups, downs, and course corrections. The key is whether you’re willing to measure and ask:

👉 Am I willing to get better?

My Goals for the Next Several Months

• Weight: 195 lbs → 180 lbs

• Run a sub-5:30 mile (haven’t since a calf injury in 2020)

• Biomarkers:

  • Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 3.5 or less

  • Triglycerides: under 100

  • Triglyceride/HDL ratio: 2.0

• Lower VAT ratio (Visceral fat) 

• Decrease body fat %

• Improve flexibility

• Bring Omega 6:3 ratio to 5:1 or less

• More space

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. I’m documenting the process because I know so many people are in the same place: you feel good, but you’re ready to feel great.

Here’s to refocusing, reinvesting, and entering 40 as my strongest, healthiest self yet.
