I spent a decade doing everything right — and still stayed stuck.

This is the story of how elimination, not discipline, finally worked — and why I built Peak Form Intensive.

Where I Started

In 2013, I was 195 pounds at 5’9”.
Pre-diabetic. Constantly sick. Exhausted most days.

My vision was so poor I had a restriction on my driver’s license.
I felt older than I was and assumed decline was normal.

I didn’t lack discipline.
I lacked answers.

So I went looking for them.

What Didn’t Work

Over the next decade, I tried everything that was supposed to work:

• Paleo
• Keto
• Calorie counting
• Macro tracking
• Intermittent fasting
• Mediterranean
• Vegan
• “Everything in moderation”

Each approach helped — briefly.
Then I stalled. Every time.

The cravings returned.
The fatigue crept back in.
The effort increased while results flattened.

Carnivore came closest.
It actually eliminated what was harmful — but it was too restrictive to sustain long-term.

I needed the completeness of carnivore
with enough variety to live on.

What Changed

At some point, I stopped negotiating.

Not all at once.
Not recklessly.

I eliminated one substance at a time — completely — in the right sequence.

Gluten. Gone.
Then sugar. Gone.
Then starches. Gone.
Then everything else my body reacted to.

Each elimination followed the same pattern:
withdrawal → calm → clarity.

That’s when I understood the real problem:

Partial elimination gives partial results.
Complete elimination changes everything.

What Happened Next

The weight came off — that part wasn’t surprising.

What surprised me was everything else:

• Vision restored to 20/20
• Pre-diabetes reversed
• Blood pressure normalized
• Energy stabilized
• Food obsession disappeared

At 59, I maintain under 10% body fat without tracking, counting, or restriction.

I don’t think about food anymore.
I eat. I stop. I move on.

That’s not discipline.
That’s removal.

Why I Built Peak Form Intensive

Most people fail not because they lack willpower,
but because they never fully remove what their body treats as a threat.

And most programs make the same mistake:
they rush elimination before people are ready.

That’s why Peak Form Intensive starts with preparation — not restriction — and applies elimination sequentially, with structure and accountability.

PFI exists to do one thing:
make completion normal instead of rare.

What I Do (And Don’t Do)

I don’t give meal plans.
I don’t count macros.
I don’t manage symptoms.
I don’t sell moderation.

I teach elimination.
I teach sequence.
I teach permanence.

And I support people through the hardest part — the part most quit alone.

Next Step

Peak Form Intensive is where this framework is applied fully — in person, structured, and finite.
