Hello
🕑 Added 2025-07-16 23:10:41 +0000 UTCI’m sorry for the delay in releasing new material. I have been going to several different doctor appointments in the last couple of weeks. I’m working on a better me and didn’t realize how many different doctors I would have to see in order for this to happen. I’ve gotten chest x-rays, ekg, full labs, dental, dermatology, colonoscopy, sleep study, ophthalmology and I’m going to a podiatrist and a dietician. I’m not someone who enjoys any of this and have been putting it off far too long. My goal is simple. Lose weight, get healthy, have some brain clarity and be full of energy. I’m 48 years old. I don’t want to ring in the 50s being sick, tired and obese. I want to be here making new content and entertaining all of you. I can’t do that if I can’t walk half a mile before needing to sit down.
12 years ago I was a gym rat. I went religiously and ate nothing but healthy foods. I was under 200 pounds and I felt like a million bucks. I had my health under control. Cut to marital issues, stress becoming the internet sensation Dan Bell, road food, etc etc. Everything unraveled for my health. I started drinking again. I started smoking again. I started eating junk food again. Got divorced, spiraled, content creation became impossible. I stayed in bed and shut off the world. One day about a year ago I got up and I cleaned my room. Then I cleaned and organized my office. Then I cleaned my kitchen and bathrooms. I started feeling better. It’s taken a long time to get here and to gather up the strength to finally take control of my health. Those years spent barely working, putting on a happy face when I went live, pretending everything was great, spending all my time in bed sleeping and eating and drinking, it’s taken a toll on me. I’m heavier now than I’ve ever been. Physically I feel okay but I do have medical issues and I’m going to need to be on prescriptions.....
BUT IT’S OKAY. There isn’t anything I can’t reverse or manage by eating healthy, exercising and seeing my doctor and dietician regularly. I spent a lot of time researching the best doctors for my needs. I’m very fortunate to live in such a rich medical city. We have the best of the best medical care here in Baltimore. I’m going to win this battle. I don’t have any other choices.
I’m relatively healthy. I don’t feel sick. I do get tired easily but carrying around all of this extra weight and most likely having sleep apnea due to obesity (study starts soon) its no surprise. I’ve had to be SO BRAVE doing this. Having a man stick his finger in my ass and I’m not getting paid is rough. He said everything was okay back there. I asked for a fiver. The doctor looked confused and left the room. These medical environments scare the hell out of me. Always have always will. I’m just glad I have family and friends here who convinced me to go through with this. I’m doing it for them. I’m doing it for you. I’m doing it for me.
New content soon.
