I recently switched up my hydration game during an Ironman run in Lake Placid, and let me tell you, it made all the difference. Instead of relying solely on the aid stations every mile, I decided to carry my own water bottle filled with an electrolyte mix. Being able to take sips in between aid s...

My journey started back on 3/13/13 when I was awaken by my father's phone call telling me my Mother had passed away due to a massive heart attack. She was only 58...One month after my 39th birthday. It was a complete shock and devastating. I felt I was in good shape. Went to the gym regularly, ate what I thought was a healthy diet. But after about 9 months of depression I found myself almost 200 pounds with high cholesterol, border line high blood pressure, and pre diabetic sitting at the doctors office listening to him tell me I am headed in the same direction as my mom if I don't make some changes. He gave me 3 months to make a significant reduction in my cholesterol otherwise he would put me on medication for the rest of my life. He didn't tell me how to do this however...but I thought it logical to remove any food with cholesterol in it. I admit, I was naive. I didn't know what a vegan diet was. My wife was vegetarian when we met and I converted her back to eating meat. My dad grew up on a chicken ranch, my Aunt lives on a milk farm. Growing up eggs, milk and meat were a staple in our diet. I had no intention of living a vegan or plant based life style, come on I hated vegetables, right! Well that's what I did. I went home from the doctor and removed every trace of cholesterol from the house. Turns out that was all of the animal products....
