How I Stay Consistent No Matter Where in the World I Am I travel over 200,000 miles a year, almost entirely for business. I enjoy it. I chose this life.

Watching my parents age changed how I see health. This is why I chose consistency, longevity, and responsibility over shortcuts — and why health comes first.

And Why I Don’t Trust Absolutes in Longevity I’ve always loved consuming content about health and nutrition. In the early years, it was purely practical. I wanted to be informed.
