A 10-week strength and longevity experiment that became something much bigger than weight loss. When I first received the email and text invitation to join the Alpha Health 6th Annual Summer Shred Challenge, my reaction was simple: I ignored it. But then my health coach, Faith, sent me a message:“Hey, can I sign you and…

This is it – the final week of the Summer Shred Challenge.  We completed our final InBody scan this week, and the results confirmed what I had already started to feel.  We both lost fat mass and more importantly gained muscle mass.  Their offer this last week is Tesamorelin/AOD-9604/MOTS-c.  I’ve mentioned this peptide stack in…

With only one week left in this 10-week experiment, something has become very clear: This no longer feels like a challenge. It feels like a lifestyle. I recall trying different diets and checking the calendar to see how much longer this needed to drudge on.  This experience is completely opposite.  Looking Back at the Beginning…

With only a couple of weeks left in this experiment, something unexpected has happened. The challenge is no longer about fasting. It’s about slowing down. From Trepidation to Routine Looking back over the last eight weeks, I can clearly see the progression: The routines feel natural now: That alone feels like a major win. The…

The Setup: Same Habits, Better Questions By now: So the question shifted from: “Am I doing this right?” to: “What actually matters most?” The Turning Point: InBody vs Hume This week, I did both: Result? They were remarkably close….

I’ve officially reached the halfway point of this 10-week experiment. And the biggest surprise? This isn’t really about fasting anymore. It’s about awareness. The Focus Shift: Portion Control + Sugar Going into Week 5, I knew exactly what needed attention: The fasting windows feel natural now. That part no longer feels difficult. What I’m noticing…

By Week 4, something changed. Not in the mirror.Not on the scale. But in my routine. The First Real Signal: Body Composition vs Weight This week introduced something new—data from the Hume Body Pod. And the results were… interesting. Not dramatic. But not nothing either. It raised an important question: What if the scale isn’t…

By Week 3, I expected to see something. A visible change.A number on the scale.Some kind of confirmation that this was “working.” That didn’t happen. The Structure Is Holding From a consistency standpoint, things are going well. In many ways, this has become routine. And that may be the most important shift so far. The…
