Health Wake-up Call at 42

17h ago1 min read

Had a scare with my heart at 42. Doctor said I was headed for a heart attack if I didn't change everything. That scared me straight. Cut out most processed food, started running again, lost 40 pounds over a year. Now at 44 I feel like I did at 30. My kids actually want to go hiking with me instead of me sitting on the couch. I miss how easy everything was before but I definitely don't miss how I felt physically. Gained energy, confidence, and honestly a better relationship with my body. Just needed the kick in the pants.

That's rough man but also a gift in a way. You got the warning. A lot of guys don't. Keep us posted on how the recovery goes.

Glad you caught this before it became a real crisis. That's the wake up call that actually sticks. What changes are you making first? I've been thinking about my own health lately and honestly it's scary to face.

42 hits different when you realize your body is trying to tell you something. Kids need their dad around. What's your game plan for staying on track with the changes?
