Todd, a father of six, spent two decades in engineering and renewable energy. At 48, he decided it was time to re-engineer something else: his own life.

Todd walked away from his career — not because he had to, but because he wanted to. He called it an "environment change." His goal was simple: finally take his health seriously, rebuild family connections, and reinvent himself.

Three months later, he’s down nearly 40 pounds and delighted with the success he has had. But he’s also confronting new challenges: how to avoid the all-or-nothing mindset, how to eat sustainably instead of obsessively, and how to set goals that last beyond the initial rush of progress.

In this episode, we dig into:

Why Todd’s “temporary retirement” became the forcing function for change.
How he lost 28 lbs in 34 days, and what really happened behind the numbers.
Why aggressive dieting works short-term but fails without a plan afterward.
How to reintroduce carbs without fear, and why this is necessary for his path forward.
