I was killing myself

I was sick, inflamed, and ignored by the system. Changing my inputs changed everything. I built TrueWellness to make that clarity accessible- one platform, built around the whole human.

I was killing myself

I was 6’ 254 pounds.

Unhealthy.

Inflamed.

Foggy.

Wired and tired all at once.

Barely sleeping. Living on caffeine and processed food. Feeding myself garbage and wondering why I felt like garbage.

My joints hurt. My gut was a mess. My wrists and hands were so inflamed I could barely type. Doctors called it tendonitis, said it was overuse.

Recommended surgery. No one asked about my diet. No one asked about my sleep. No one asked if my immune system was on fire.

They gave me labels like IBS and tendonitis.

But those aren’t answers. They’re placeholders.

They’re code for “we don’t know.”

Truth was my body was under attack.

The attackers were the foods I was eating every single day. Gluten, dairy, seed oils.

My immune system was reacting violently, and it was showing up where I used my body most. My hands, my wrists, my gut, my brain.

Changing my diet changed everything. No surgery. No prescriptions. Just clarity. Just truth. That was the moment I realized how broken this whole thing is.

The food industry profits from keeping us addicted and inflamed. Big pharma profits from masking the symptoms.

Traditional medicine doesn’t even pretend to look for the root cause. They are incentivized to push big pharma.

I couldn’t take it anymore. So I turned inward.

I started tracking everything, my labs, my sleep, my training, my nutrition, my supplements. I dove into functional medicine, read research, ran experiments on myself. And it worked. I lost the weight, rebuilt my strength, reversed symptoms, and felt clear for the first time in my life.

But as I went deeper, I hit another wall, one I didn’t expect.

All my data was scattered.

Labs in one portal.

Sleep, stress, and active cal’s in Garmin.

Nutrition in Cronometer.

Workouts in another app.

Supplements from fullscript.

And my symptoms and context for the data? Just stuck in my head.

There was no single place to see it all.

No system that helped me understand how it was all connected.

No way to ask my data real questions or make decisions based on the whole picture.

That’s when I knew… if I wanted this, I’d have to build it. So I did.

TrueWellness is what happens when you get fed up enough to stop waiting for someone else to solve it. It’s the platform I needed: intelligent, integrated, and built around the full complexity of being human.

We connect your biology, behavior, and goals as a whole.

We take the guesswork out of what to eat, what to take, what to do, and we make your data work for you.

I built this because I know what it’s like to feel broken, sick, defeated. But also what it takes to get better.

This isn’t about biohacking.

This is about ownership.

It’s about finally taking your health back from the industries that sold it off.

We’re not optimizing for averages.

We’re building for what’s possible when nothing is in the way. This is TrueWellness.

And we’re just getting started.
