Thirty years of learning
what actually makes health stick.

Here's what thirty years in healthcare actually taught me and why I built something entirely different as a result.

For the last twenty years, I've been quietly working on my own health. No extreme diets, no expensive routines, no fancy supplements. Just the fundamentals, applied consistently: hiring a personal trainer, shifting toward whole foods, starting a meditation practice in 2019, and spending a lot of time reading and listening. Peter Attia, Tim Ferriss, Rich Roll, Rhonda Patrick. The researchers and thinkers who are serious about longevity and healthspan, not just weight loss.

Somewhere along the way, people started noticing. Friends would ask what I was doing. Family members would come to me when they wanted to make a change but weren't sure where to start. I became a resource without really planning for it, the person in my circle that people called when they were serious about their health.

I loved it. Not because I had all the answers, but because I'd actually read the books, done the work, and could meet people where they were.

After 30 years in the physical therapy industry, I'd also spent 15 years using CliftonStrengths with every team I led. I watched how differently people responded to the same challenge depending on how they were wired. And I kept thinking: what if I applied that same lens to health habits? What if, instead of handing someone a plan, I first figured out who they actually were and then matched them to the approach most likely to work for them specifically?

That question became Third Road Health.

Too many people I know are stuck in "I'm not sure what to do" or "I've tried and it doesn't work for me." I want to move them to something they can actually say and mean: I am a healthy person. I know what to do.
