🛑 Identity Crisis Alert 🛑
Early in my practice, a mentor suggested joining patient support groups to better understand the struggles of those we help.
It sounded wise... until I saw the truth.
These groups weren’t about support.
They were competitions over who had it worst.
One-upping pain. Seeking validation in victimhood.
Let me be clear: there is ZERO nobility in making your disease your identity.
You are NOT your diagnosis.
You are NOT your MRI.
You are NOT your arthritis or your chronic condition.
When suffering becomes your personality, it’s time for a hard reset.
I’ve watched two types of people over 10 years:

Those who stay stuck:
Treat doctors like saviors. Expect pills, adjustments, or surgery to fix a lifetime of poor habits. Zero accountability.
The warriors who heal:
They own their story.
They upgrade every habit.
They craft a vision and refuse to let setbacks redefine them.
They choose their care wisely — never surrendering to fear-driven medicine.

The real story we need isn’t one of endless struggle.
It’s one of courage. Empowerment. Reclaiming what was yours from the start.
So next time you’re tempted to vent in a Facebook group about how bad you have it...
Pause.
Ask: Is this moving me toward the life I want?
Most of the time, the answer is no.
Shut out the noise.
Get back to work.
Own your story.
That’s how we break the identity crisis — and reclaim real hope.

Principle 6: There is NO process that doesn’t require TIME. ⏳
I was told anything worth doing takes way longer than you think. Raised pre-Amazon Prime and post-Prime, I’ve lived in two worlds.
Today? We’re drowned in speed + noise. It kills perspective on what’s actually achievable in real time.
We expect instant gratification in everything—social feeds, same-day delivery
 even health.
I trained as a D1 athlete in a pre-NIL world. Every day was planned for peak performance at conference meets, part of a 4-year Olympic cycle. I didn’t wake up a competitor—it took years of commitment.
So why do we think one doctor visit fixes decades of neglect?

There’s no time to build an ark after the flood.

Mainstream medicine has us sicker than ever—most adults on meds, chronic disease rampant. We exhaust "Amazon Prime health" before turning to alternatives
 then expect them to fix us in a day.
Noah didn’t wait for the flood. He built early.
Want a body free of disease? Start now. Don’t stop.
No Prime delivery for health.
Only commitment. Perseverance. Daily investment.
Don’t wait for the flood to build your ark.
Invest in yourself every single day—and with time, you’ll thrive.

Standards exist for a reason. đŸ„đŸ’„
The Texas Relays: the Super Bowl of high school track in TX. Everyone who’s anyone fights to qualify.
Junior year, I finally pieced together discus. Qualified for the Relays—first of 3 times.
But here’s the truth:
Qualifying ≠ Winning.
I set the bar at “make it.” Not “dominate it.”
So I showed up
 and crumbled under the lights.
Standards aren’t mean.
They’re filters.
They separate the participators from the podium chasers.
75% of my patients?
They’re “qualifying” for health:

“I’ll try keto for a week.”
“I walked once this month.”

25%?
They’re training to win:

Macros dialed.
Sleep locked.
Workouts non-negotiable.

Same body. Same 24 hours.
Different standards.
If you don’t miss the mark every now and then?
Your bar’s too low.
I didn’t go pro in throwing because my standards stayed junior-year level.
Took me a decade to see it.
Your move:
Are you checking health boxes

or rewriting the record board?
Raise the standard.
Or stay in the stands.

đŸŽč Interest vs. Commitment: The Piano Lesson That Changed My Life
As a kid, I begged my mom for piano lessons. We had an old upright in the house, all my grandparents played, and I dreamed of being the next Beethoven (okay, probably just wanted grandma’s applause 😂).
Went to Brook Mays Music. After months? Best I could do: Hot Cross Buns and “EGBDF / FACE.”
Then I quit.
Here’s the truth:
đŸ”„ Interest = You do it when it’s convenient.
đŸ’Ș Commitment = No excuses. Only results.
The piano was a fling. Health? That’s become my lifelong commitment.
Look around your grocery store or theme park. We’re fat, sick, and nearly dead — and we know it. Most of us say we want to be healthy
 but when it gets hard? Interest fades.
We’re the Prime Generation:
✅ Instant access
✅ On-demand everything
✅ Zero patience for the time it takes to heal or build health
I hear it daily in my office:

“Doc, I want to get healthy
”

until the plan requires sacrifice. Then we see who’s truly committed.

Aging well — without pills, surgeries, cancer, or Alzheimer’s — isn’t a trend. It’s a daily vote for your future.
Your challenge today:
Stop interested in health.
Commit to it.
Question the “experts.”
Own your body.
You’re 1 of 1.
Interest got us sick.
Commitment gets us thriving.

🌊 The Tsunami Is Here—But You Can Still Save Your Shoreline
Hokusai’s Great Wave shows tiny boats facing a monster swell. That’s us—drowning in tech abundance while longevity drops and chronic illness soars.
⚠ The stats don’t lie:

1 in 5 global deaths = diet
#1 & #2 killers in the West: Heart Disease & Cancer (both diet/toxin-linked)
50%+ of Americans obese
64% on 1+ Rx drugs (266 MILLION people)

Uber Eats burgers, DoorDash lo mein, grocery delivery—zero effort, maximum damage. We built this slow-motion tsunami with every tap-to-order.
🛑 Pause. Ask: Where is the storm hitting MY biology?
✅ Counter-wave starts TODAY:

Fast a few days/week
Cut carbs, sugar, alcohol → go keto/carnivore
Ditch prescriptions when possible (talk to your doc)
Move daily—no app required

This didn’t happen overnight; reclaiming health won’t either. But every opposite choice you make builds your own tsunami of vitality.
🚹 Stop feeding the economy of excess.
🚹 Start stacking habits that mainstream media buries.
Your birthright = a strong, disease-resistant body.
Claim it now—or watch the wave crash.

đŸŒ± The Art of Aggressive Patience
In a Prime world, waiting feels like failure.
But the Bible’s Old Testament? It’s one epic story of waiting—planting, conception, harvest, drought. Creation screams: good things take time.
2016: Hung my shingle, prayed for a flood of patients.
God answered
 with patience. 😅
No overnight capacity.
No dopamine hits from today’s hustle.
Just daily actions whose fruit ripened years later.
Instant success? You’d fumble it.
If Israel got the Messiah on demand, they’d have shrugged and run back to Egypt.
If my clinic filled Day 1, I’d have botched care—I had 10 years of lessons to learn first.
Aggressive patience = relentless action + radical trust.
Keep planting.
Stay the course.
Work harder than yesterday.
One day you’ll look up—exactly where you dreamed, sustained by joy Amazon can’t deliver.

When was the last time you read a good book?

How did it transform your mind?

Instead of wasting the 44 years of life the normal person spends on a screen, pick up a book and go on an adventure.

You may gain some much needed wisdom that will radically transform your life.

Every single successful person I have met in my life understands that true efficiency is the result of giving your undivided attention to one single task at a time (not having 15 tabs open and a cell phone in your lap scrolling while you attempt to get a single task done)

We are too distracted by our environment, our past, our future to even look at what is going on right now at this very moment.

It is time to revolt against the mainstream narrative of utilizing technology to increase efficiency.

It is time to take a step back into our past and to anchor our mind to present time consciousness.

This is one of the steps you can take today and over time a habit you can form to ensure that you do not generate a sporadic unanchored mind.

đŸŒ± At Least Don’t Lie to Yourself đŸŒ±

If you constantly make promises to yourself but never follow through or execute, do you really think you are going to be happy with yourself or your quality of life?

Instead of lying to yourself about the small things and blaming your quality of life on everything else, it is time to take accountability and own up to the truth.

The challenge in this process is when you stop lying to yourself, you might be shocked by the sheer amount of excuses you were putting up with.

You might be shocked by the results that start to accumulate in your life.

You will most definitely be shocked by how your life transforms when you stop lying and start executing.

🌟 Circle of Power 🌟
You are shaped by the 5 people you spend the most time with—friends, family, or even social media influencers. Take a hard look at your circle: do they lift you up or drain your energy? Toxic relationships can block your goals, while positive ones fuel growth. Reflect, reassess, and choose wisely to live your best life! 💡

A Moment of Reflection 🌟

Let’s hit pause on the daily grind—whether it’s work, family, or keeping up with the neighborhood. 🙌 Since May 2025, I’ve been journaling my emotions daily and asking, “What’s fueling my stress, anger, or envy?” The answer? Too much time doom-scrolling social media. đŸ“±

It’s so tempting to judge others’ choices or feel our lives fall short when we’re flooded with curated highlight reels online. But here’s the reality: Not everyone’s path is yours, and not everyone wants what you want. Embracing this has shifted my perspective. Instead of comparing, I’m focusing on my own habits and purpose as a person of faith, family member, and professional. đŸ’Ș

Remember being a kid, dreaming big from real experiences? (I wanted to swim with Shamu at SeaWorld—yep, Blackfish ruined that one! 😂) Let’s return to that mindset. Forget the manufactured dreams social media pushes. Stand in front of your mirror and ask, “Are my daily habits building the life I’m called to live?”

I’ll be honest—I fail more than I succeed. But growth comes from checking our egos and owning our journey. So, let’s stop judging, start reflecting, and cultivate the lives we’re meant for.
