Getting Healthier Without The Nonsense
Healthy After 45
No miracle transformation. No heroic thirty-day challenge. Just one stubborn Gen-X adult fixing decades of bad decisions, one habit at a time.
At 47, I was severely overweight, my type 2 diabetes was running the show, and my cardiovascular system had apparently decided that four blocked arteries were a perfectly reasonable design choice. I came far too close to dying. That has a way of clearing the schedule and rearranging your priorities.
A couple of years later, I am no longer morbidly obese, my diabetes is in remission, and I am healthier than I have ever been. I run, lift weights, eat like an adult most of the time, and have accumulated enough running shoes to undermine any claim that running is a cheap hobby.
What this site is about
This is not a miracle-transformation sales pitch, and I am not here to sell a detox, a supplement, or twelve easy payments of anything. It is a personal account of what worked for me, what failed, what I learned, and what I am still figuring out.
You can start with the full timeline, browse the blog, try the health calculators, or inspect the completely reasonable amount of gear one person can accumulate in the name of fitness.
I am not a doctor, dietitian, or personal trainer. I am one person describing my own experience, with all the limitations that implies. Please read the Disclaimer before treating anything here as advice.
