About me - a guide to

I am the homemade body guy. 41 years, a traveller set in the middle east at the moment. In my body is where I live; like a home I like to improve my house and I like doing it myself. I am interested in self optimisation and wellness. I love the outdoors and writing.

As far as I can remember, I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. Up and down is a good description of my relationship with my weight which also impacted every part of my life. In my 30’s I decided to take the impossible mission of building muscles while losing fat at the same time. Although my will power withered with time the constant was my desire for quality results and faster results. I felt a deep distrust for what was sold to me by the main stream media and fitness gurus and was convinced that there was something I wasn’t being told. I tried it all. Why did it not work? I became more reluctant in splurging money on magic pills, diet and equipment. Deep inside I craved for the truth, “The secret” to an athletic lean body of 12% body fat composition. I decided to learn and do it myself. In my late 30s I studied fitness and personal training with a specialisation in weight loss. I believed that exceptional results called for exceptional actions. With my knowledge and my body which I turn into an experimental laboratory, I have had fun uncovering the mysteries for fat loss. Along my fat loss journey, I have been blessed with the amazing side effects of healing of many aliments. Not only did my body heal but it became younger and I felt a level of energy I had never known even as a teenager. My new routine and lifestyle did not only keep me lean all year round but seemed to have an age reversing effect. I stumbled on my curiosity for longevity which later turned to my mission in life. On this journey I asks questions such as: Can simple life changes extend life span? Which are they? Can the body heal itself naturally? Can age by reversed? Not slowed because this is a certainty but reversed yes, like Benjamin button. For long time the title of “The Benjamin Button Project” lingered on my mind for this blog until I decided to go the more practical route. I live with the exciting mission in life of attaining optimum health and challenging the effect of time. When I told my doctor that I wished to live past 100 years he ask “Why do you want that?”

I simply answered “Because I love life” Am I mad? Maybe. If I fail then the joke is on me and I only have one chance away. But if I succeed then doctor, the joke is on you.
