One year ago today I was sitting in my naturopath’s office staring down the barrel of a loaded gun. My body was a metabolic sh*t storm.
A1C of 6.5 - Full-blown Type II diabetic.
Total cholesterol at 254. LDL at 179.
Body fat over 40%.
Waist nearly 42 inches.
Inflammatory markers off the charts.
I was a heart attack waiting to happen.
Today — just days before I turn 60 — I’m sharing what one year on Tirzepatide actually did to my metabolic health markers. Not just the weight. THE HEALTH.
Because here’s what nobody tells you: you don’t have to accept feeling like s**t as a normal part of getting older. I’m healthier now than I was at 40.
And I competed in Strongman, twice during my journey.

Give it a read, it might give you hope if you are staring down the barrel of a loaded metabolic/health gun too.
