Society has told you that it’s not possible for you to stay lean, stay fit, and have the exuberance and energy you once felt and had as a young man. These constant messages are telling us that it's ok to not be our best selves. We don’t have to try or stay hungry as we once did when we were young. We no longer have anything to prove to ourselves. These messages are also contributing to a larger problem we are not addressing. Obesity. In the U.S., today, nearly 50% of all men over 40 are obesity. Being overweight and out of shape is the number one contributor to early death. And today more men are passing away at younger ages than ever before. Cancer diagnoses in men are escalating. Men are being put on prescription meds for blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease at younger ages. And more families are losing fathers and husbands by the day. Obesity is the enemy, the one that sits on the top of the hill peering down at us from afar. We have allowed for far too long to let ourselves lose. To take the hill is no easy task.

To mark it, I'm stepping outside the usual health-and-fitness format for something more personal. This is part two of a two-part series, and where episode 299 covered the physical side — training, nutrition, sleep, recovery — this episode goes deeper into the mental, emotional, and spiritual lessons I've learned running Fit Father and Fit Mother for a decade and a half. I'm not showing up today as your health educator. I'm showing up as a fellow human on this journey — a CEO, a health educator, a father, a friend, a community member — sharing 10 lessons that have shaped how I think about attention, adaptability, service, stress, and what it actually means to build a fulfilled life. Whatever season you're in right now, I believe these lessons will meet you where you are.
