Getting healthy is like trying to pick a Netflix show with your partner — too many options, everyone’s got an opinion, and most of them sound like “the one.”

The truth? The hardest part isn’t eating better or working out. It’s knowing where to start.

So here’s my starting line:

👉 6’0”

👉 215 lbs

👉 Goal = 190 lbs

Instead of guessing my way forward, I wanted real data. Numbers don’t lie (even when I really, really wish they did).

First stop: Function Health.

They run an insanely deep blood panel — the kind of thing your “once a year” checkup doesn’t even touch. Think of it like upgrading from a check-engine light to a full dashboard of what’s going on in your body.

Next: BodySpec DEXA Scan (aka the mirror that doesn’t lie).

Here’s the raw truth from the scan:

Regional breakdown (this hurt a little):

One bright spot: my bone density scored higher than 97–99% of people my age. My skeleton is flexing while the rest of me slacks off.

I teamed up with Citrin Wellness (not an ad, just who I’m using).

The reason? I didn’t just want vague advice like “eat better, move more.” I wanted someone to actually decode my blood work and body data so I could get the most out of it.

Here’s what’s different: instead of brushing past the numbers, my doctor at Citrin is building a foundation for me — reviewing labs, supplements, and how my lifestyle stacks up.

First wins:

Now I’ve got an actual plan tied to my numbers — not just another cookie-cutter diet.

I fed my scan + blood work into AI and said: “Pretend you’re my doctor.”

Boom. Reports translated into plain English:

It’s not replacing my doctor, but it’s like having a junior doctor in my pocket.

My blood panel read like a Yelp review: “Fine overall, but could be better.”

Nothing scary, but definitely signs that dropping fat + eating cleaner will pay off.

Most doctors hand you vague advice: “Eat better, exercise, see you in a year.”

I finally feel like I’ve got a roadmap.

Data + doctor + AI = a baseline I can track against. For once, getting healthy doesn’t feel like guesswork.

This is just the beginning. I’ll share:

Call it Fit Experiment 2025.

If you’ve been stuck at your own starting line, maybe my journey helps you find yours.

See you in six months with the next update 👊
