“There’s just one thing between me and all of my health and fitness goals.”

You’re right—and you’re wrong.

At this stage of life, energy can feel like a rare commodity. Work, family, and responsibilities pile up, and before you know it, exhaustion takes over. It’s easy to chalk it up to aging, but in reality, momentum plays a much bigger role in how we feel each day.

“I’m not losing weight anymore! I hit a plateau. I’m broken!”

Your “beer belly” isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it’s a health crisis hiding in plain sight.
