When I was 42, I faced a turning point in my life. My blood sugar had hit a staggering 360/A1C 13.5, and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was tired all the time, overweight, and struggling to find the energy to get through the day. I knew that if I didn’t make a change, my health would only get worse.
So, I started small. I began walking every day and picked up lifting weights again, something I had enjoyed in the past but never fully committed to. Along with these changes, I focused on my diet, eating 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. It wasn’t easy at first—my energy levels were low, and the workouts were tough—but I kept going because I knew my health depended on it.
Over time, I started seeing results. My weight dropped, my energy came back, and my blood sugar stabilized. I felt stronger and more in control of my life. But I didn’t stop there.
Now, at 45, I’m lifting heavier than I ever thought possible. My best squat is 420 lbs, my deadlift is 445 lbs, and I’m working hard to reach a 315 lbs bench press. Lifting heavy has become a passion, and it’s a testament to how far I’ve come since that diagnosis three years ago.
This journey hasn’t just been about dropping weight or hitting new numbers in the gym. It’s about reclaiming my health, beating diabetes, and proving that even in your mid-40s, you can get stronger, healthier, and more determined than ever. If you’re facing a challenge like I was, know that it’s never too late to start. Whether it’s walking, lifting, or changing your diet, small steps can lead to big results.
Stay strong and keep moving forward.

Thank you who ever subscribed.
I'm just starting out and I'm not quite sure yet what this channel will become, but I don't want it to be just about one thing.
I want to discuss fitness, being a father and husband, and also how we can make ourselves better.
There is so much negativity in the world that we often direct towards each other. If we look in the mirror and don't like what we see, then we need to start there.
Instead of setting a goal to lose a certain amount of weight, set a small goal, try setting a goal to learn something new that you can accomplish within small amount of time.
For example, to burn fat I need to build muscle. To build muscle you need to eat right, to eat right you need to know what foods will build muscle.
It's starts with educating yourself.
