My story
I was always the overweight one.
I spent most of my life carrying extra weight. I smashed the gym and it barely moved. Low fat, calorie counting, shakes. I'd lose a bit and gain it all back, again and again.
Then in 2016 my wife Jeannette died of cancer at 42. Overnight I became a widower and a single dad to four daughters. That changed everything. I didn't want my girls to lose me too.
So I got serious. Not about punishing myself, but about understanding how the body actually works. At 45 I discovered low-carb eating and went down the rabbit hole: courses, research, two keto coaching qualifications, and years of paying attention to my own body. The weight came off. The energy came back. The cravings disappeared.
I'm in my 50s now and in better shape than I was in my 30s. Not because I'm special, but because I finally understood the one thing every diet I'd tried had missed: insulin. When insulin is high, your body can't burn fat, no matter how little you eat or how hard you train. Lower the insulin and the switch flips. Your body does what it was designed to do.
I built Eat Yourself Healthy so nobody has to figure this out alone.
