My Energy Is My Edge

Started Oct 24, 2026

I get one temple, and I'm going to take care of it.

It doesn't matter where you are or where you start, just start.

Don't wait until Monday. Start today, wherever you are.

Why I'm doing this

I've set a goal to live to 126. Yes, really. But honestly, it's not about the number. The goal is to live the highest quality of life I can, for as long as I can. I want to be strong as I get older, not weaker, with the energy to show up for my family, my business, and my faith. So I'm building muscle, eating for energy, listening to my body, and getting my bloodwork done.

I get one temple, and I'm going to take care of it.

My energy is my edge.

The long game: 126. The real goal: quality of life for as long as I can.

My misogi

A misogi is one big, hard thing that stretches you. I started on a Saturday, Oct 24, 2026, not Monday, not January. Here are my targets for 2027 and where I started.

300 workouts

0 of 300 since Oct 24, 2026. 275 is still a win.

How I know it's working

Next scan: About Dec 19

Next Lab Day: early 2027

Baseline: Week 3, Nov 11 to 13

Everyday targets

Every Friday I rate my energy, sleep, and mood. Every month I retest a few key lifts. Every quarter I do my bloodwork and a few fun body tests.

Know your numbers

Every quarter I get my bloodwork done through Rythm Health. It's how I learned what my basic panel wasn't telling me.

My vitamin D went from 20 in 2024 to 34.5 now, and I'm working toward 50+. My ApoB came back higher than I'd like and my omega-3 index was low, so I'm working on both.
