Three years ago, I realized I needed to make a change. Like a lot of people, I gained weight during the pandemic and hit a point where I knew I wasn’t where I wanted to be—physically, mentally, or metabolically.
So I started doing the basics: counting calories, walking more, playing basketball again, and watching what I ate. I lost 20 pounds through sheer discipline, but then plateaued for almost a year. That’s when I got serious about optimizing both effort and outcomes.
💪 Tonal became my daily ritual—literally. I’ve completed nearly 1,000 workouts on it across three years, including 175 consecutive weeks without missing a single one. It's hands down the best tool for busy individuals who want to incorporate strength training at home. You can easily knock out a daily 20- or 30-minute session and see real gains. I'm now in the top 6% of all users based on strength score.
⚖️ Weight: I dropped from a peak of nearly 270 lbs to 221 lbs — almost 50 pounds down.
📉 Cholesterol: From 207 → 168 mg/dL.
🧬 Free Testosterone: From 36 → 183 pg/mL.
🧪 Total Testosterone: From 210 → 949 ng/dL.
All backed by blood work every 3 months.
🏥 Enter Lifeforce, a service that helps you monitor and optimize your biomarkers. They were the ones who put me on semaglutide (Ozempic) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). With those tools—and a dialed supplement protocol—I broke through the plateau and improved almost every relevant metric: body comp, energy, sleep, recovery, and heart rate variability. My biological age is now 38, fully 7 years younger than my chronological age and 6 years lower than when I got my 1st blood draw.
📦 Current supplement stack includes: Omega-3s, DHEA, DIM, K2, Calcium d-glucarate, and a few others fine-tuned over time (screenshot included).
🙏 Huge thanks to the teams at hashtag#Tonal and hashtag#Lifeforce for building tools that actually help people change their lives.
