Yes, you read that 👆correctly.

My “Total T Optimization Method” is a program specifically designed to show you how to restore your hormones naturally, increase strength and lean muscle while losing body fat efficiently and safely through a flexible, macro based nutrition plan.

🏈 Football Sunday’s

So, the choice is yours. You can either

❌ wait until after January to start hitting the gym like everyone else.

struggling to know how or what to eat.

OR

“I want to feel healthier (and look better),”

Like happiness, health is an inside job.

If you’re like the men who answered in my survey that the most important reasons they wanted to lose weight and build strength / lean muscle

was to feel healthier (with “looking better” coming in second),

then you’re not alone.

What this says is that a lot of men, 40+ value how they feel just as much as how they look.

I also resonate with this.

Throughout 30 years of weightlifting, I spent the vast majority of that time feeling suboptimal in my overall health.

I battled chronic: fatigue, stress, depression and anxiety.

I ignored signals from my body as I continually ate and drank whatever I wanted.

Which left me with significant digestive distress and feeling sluggish all the time.

Managing my sleep or stress was not a priority.

At one point I went on TRT to try and increase my abysmal Testosterone levels.

Throughout the 2 years of treatment, I never changed my lifestyle habits and to no surprise

once I went off it, I was right back to where I started with very low T-levels and the same symptoms to go with it.

I was discouraged to say the least.

Ultimately it was a blessing because it got me thinking, “there has to be something I can do.”

With some research I found a lot of the same advice across multiple resources.

How I was treating my body through poor lifestyle choices was directly affecting my low T levels.

So I began taking more seriously my:

Sleep
Nutrition
Stress Management
Self-care activities
Training & Recovery
Hydration

I built new habits in each category to improve my mental and physical health.

Today I enjoy a lifestyle that is NOT restricted or deprived because the things I used to “enjoy,” were never serving me in the first place.

Lifting weights is just a part of a collective whole when it comes to your fitness goals let alone your overall health.

I’m passionate about helping men who seek to feel healthier.

In 7 days I’ll be announcing something very special for men 40+ who are aware that this is the time to start making real change happen.

Stay tuned.

If there’s anything I’ve learned personally 🙋🏻‍♂️as well as professionally when it comes to what men want to achieve with their fitness goals (weight-loss), or wanting to feel better and what’s keeping them stuck and frustrated, it’s……

Food.

And it all starts with addressing these 4 mistakes/misconceptions that keep you from seeing and feeling the results you want and knowing how to keep them:

1. Using fad or restrictive diets to drop lbs.
2. Demonizing entire food groups (i.e. carbs / fats)
3. Assuming you have to always be cooking your meals.
4. Saying “no” or eliminating your favorite foods all together.

06.08.24 || HYROX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ‘24 Nice, France 🇫🇷.

Race and Results - Wow, what an epic experience to come halfway across the world to compete as an athlete against some of the fittest guys my age in the 🌎. Halfway through, my quads ceased up with some painful cramps and left me hobbling for the next 15-20 minutes. By that time it was too late. The race also proved as tough and challenging as I knew it would. It was a finish I was not aiming for but as a competitive athlete I knew that it’s all about respecting the fact that on any given race day, despite everything you do to prepare, you just never know what can happen.

The important thing is that I didn’t give up and fought to the very end to be able to say I crossed that finish line. Something I get to cherish the rest of my life.

🙏🏻Thank you to all of my family, friends, colleagues, clients who have supported me along the way.

🙏🏻🙏🏻Special thank you’s:

- coach Markus is the man! We started back in January and he gave me an incredible training program and game plan. He was there for me every step of the way including being there for me before, during and after it was all over. He made sure I was taken care of and that’s very priceless to me. Thank you Markus. This was just step one of many more to come together.

- What can I say, my love. You are my rock and greatest source of inspiration. How you’ve shown up for me emotionally and physically- coaching me through all the mobility work, has been nothing short of incredible. To have you here with me and to hear and see your beautiful face at every station was what literally kept me going. I love you and I couldn’t be more thankful for everything you’ve done for me to get here.

Sponsorships: These two incredible couples graciously donated toward my trip and I am extremely grateful and humbled, thank you all from the bottom of my heart:

- Tim and Janelle

: Mark and Candace.

What’s Next - I will forge ahead and train to qualify for next year’s World’s! 💪🏻🔥🏃🏻‍♂️

The old Sean 20 years ago knew he was meant for more but had no idea how to get there.

He struggled to put his health and well-being first.

Alcohol — Was my main “drug of choice.” I spent a decade + choosing to abuse or escape with it. God spared my life multiple times through dark moments and many poor decisions.

Poor health — I regularly binged and emotionally ate: fast, junk and processed food. I neglected sleep and ignored my mental health (namely depression, anxiety and chronic stress).

Thankfully I was connected with some people who would help me “put Sean first,” and gave me a chance to turn my life and health around.

Derek Crain — Derek’s counseling provided a safe space to open up and share my pain and frustrations. His teachings of mindfulness practices gave me direct insight to better understand the root causes behind my addictions and cyclical patterns.

He also led me to a…

Men’s Group — I met with a cohort of like-minded men every week for 3 years. We rallied, supported, challenged and encouraged one another on our individual journey to a better way of living.

I went from a toxic lifestyle to taking ownership and responsibility for my health and wellness.

New Sean in 2024 {How it’s going}:

- I no longer consume or need alcohol.
- I am fitter, stronger and healthier than I was 20 years ago.
- My mental health is priority #1 (and everyone around me benefits).
- I enjoy delicious and healthy foods that fuel my body.
- I have an abundance of energy and a zest for life.

Here are 4 steps of how you can have the same transformation:

Step 1: Once you acknowledge you want and deserve more with your health, take honest and earnest inventory of your current lifestyle and habits.

Step 2: Seek the guidance and wisdom of someone who has gone before you.

Step 3: Follow a plan that meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.

Step 4: Become part of a community of like-minded individuals and give and receive support and celebrate each others accomplishments.

As you get older they say, “your best years are behind you.”

🤔 Interesting because if I had a time machine I would love to see the look on my 27 year old self’s face when I show him that his 40 year old self out ran his fastest 1/2 marathon time by…

nearly 11 minutes:

- 2008 Vancouver B.C. 1/2 marathon time - 1:46:30 (I trained thoroughly for that one)

- 2021 ‘Run Malibu’ 1/2 marathon time - 1:35:53

I’m not showing you these numbers to brag or to receive accolades.

Rather I want to use them as a way to “Trojan Horse” one very important lesson that I’ve come to learn and appreciate….

👉🏻 It’s far too easy (which is scary) to believe the stories or messages you hear from others or worse…..tell yourself.

And when you believe it’s true you will unknowingly act out those beliefs which can and will shape the course of your life.

As I trained for this last 1/2, my sole purpose was to give myself the opportunity to feel as good as I could from start to finish so that I could truly enjoy each scenic step of this run. (And oh how beautiful it was).

This type of intention-setting allowed me to really be present with my own body and my surroundings.

The reward wasn’t my (new PR) time, it was simply how great and grateful I felt to be in some of the best shape of my life at 40.

No matter where you’re at in your health journey the best thing you can do right now is to start being mindful or even write ✍🏻 down (very powerful exercise), whatever doubts, concerns, fears or skepticisms you have towards the goals or aspirations you have with your health.

I will tell you right now, with conviction, from personal and professional experience that those messages and thoughts you’re able to identify is the first step toward real change and are the ONLY obstacles you will need to overcome to experience lasting health and wellness.

You deserve it.

FINISHED MY FIRST MARATHON TODAY!!🏃🏻‍♂️🙌🏻🙏🏻💪🏻

This run is dedicated to my family and friends and to help inspire anyone out there who may be taking their first steps towards their health goals or who are fighting for their health be it weight loss, recovery from addiction or improving mental health — whatever challenges you face know that they’re worth battling🙏🏻💙💪🏻

This run was not an official race I signed up for. It was purely out of having a goal and desire to say I completed at least one marathon prior to my 40th.

No official race meant no:

registration -> bib or number -> t-shirt -> elaborate starting line -> race day nostalgia with masses of people warming up and mentally preparing with palpable energy in the air -> waving at friends or family along the way -> cheers from strangers -> water stations -> sounds of the announcers voice calling your name and number as you approach the finish line -> hugs or high fives afterwards with people who came to support.

“Why would you train for or run a marathon if it’s not an official race?” You might be thinking.

For starters, I simply love reinventing my fitness and trying new things that challenge my body and mind. This pandemic has forced us all to adapt in one way or another yet it opened the door for running which has become VERY therapeutic throughout my training.

Secondly, as a coach/trainer, I’ve come to appreciate and teach my clients that you don’t have to have external reasons to motivate or inspire you to accomplish your goals or to work on your health in general.

Ultimately, the only thing that matters is that it matters to you. Whatever goal you have, know your “why;” something meaningful and purposeful for you is vital for living a healthier lifestyle.

Today, I showed myself that whatever I put my mind to, no matter how hard it gets, I can do it.

You don’t have to run a marathon, it can be a 5K or doing 5 push-ups. The point is it’s an accomplishment and success; a mark of progress from where you started.

Your health is everything. Setting fitness goals will simply help pull you along the way.

You’re worth it.
