My Why

I hesitate to do any of this. I have an MBA, not an MD. I have an MHA, not an MPH in Nutrition. I knew buoys, business, and marketing, not macronutrients. Fitness was never my job, but when I got fit, it became my focus. As I dug deeper I realized that most of what I believed about fitness and nutrition was wrong. “WTH?” It made me upset with every teacher, doctor, and government expert who had given us poor information for decades.

As I got fit I had the passion of a convert. My life was so much better and I wanted to help others. I felt that everyone could, and should, make changes - the costs are lower and the returns are higher than expected. My first year of getting fit was amazing. I felt great, but I was unproven. I would have to sustain fitness - a lower weight, a healthy diet, and exercise - over time. As fitness was “not my job” I hoped that the tide of obesity would turn as I returned to work as a financial advisor.

The tide has not turned. Pre-pandemic, during the pandemic, and as we enter the post-pandemic, Americans are getting bigger. Covid was the clearest signal in years that being un-fit is a danger to life, not decades from now, but today. With millions of experts out there - why the hell is America failing? Where were the experts in 2020? Why were they not pushing people to get fit when a covid patient with an extra 30 lbs might sustain long-term damage - when a dad bod could lead to death?

I created Fit Thinker because I love this country and have an obligation to help my fellow Americans as much as I can. I have been thinking about the issues. Thinking about why I succeeded when most people fail to make and maintain changes. Thinking about the path that others have taken to get fit.

I think that I can help you. I hope that I can help you. Let’s give it a try, the cost is low, the payoffs are astronomical.
