Let’s talk about physical wellness.
Not in the gym-bro, “no days off” kind of way—but the kind that actually supports your life.
Because physical wellness isn’t just about looking fit.
It’s about having the energy to show up. The sleep to recover. The resilience to keep going without crashing.
It’s about building a body that helps you live—not one you have to constantly drag through the day.
And for a long time, I had it all wrong.
I was training hard. Pushing limits. Sleeping less. Drinking more.
Working out five days a week—but recovering like someone who had nothing to recover from.
Eating whatever I wanted because I “deserved it.”
And chasing that familiar high of doing more, even when my body was quietly asking me to stop.
I told myself I was improving. Optimizing. Leveling up.
But all I was really doing… was slowly burning out.
And then, my body sent a message I couldn’t ignore.
I developed Central Serous Retinopathy—a condition where fluid builds under the retina, often triggered by chronic stress.
One eye started to blur. My vision distorted.
The doctors told me it was likely tied to pressure—internal and external.
It was like my nervous system had been redlining for years… and now, the check engine light was flashing red.
That was my wake-up call.
All the things I thought were making me better—were quietly making me sick.
So I started to rebuild.
Not with some 30-day reset or crash detox—but with honest, intentional shifts:
- I pulled back on the excessive drinking—not because I “had to,” but because I wanted clarity back.
- I cleaned up how I ate—not for aesthetics, but for energy. Keto helped stabilize my mood and ditch the fog.
- I made sleep sacred. Started sauna sessions. Added Pilates and slow walks.
- I gave my body permission to train less like a machine and more like a human.
Because real physical wellness isn’t about intensity.
It’s about sustainability.
Not about pushing harder—but about listening sooner.
This wasn’t me going soft.
This was me getting smart.
And for the first time in a long time, I started to feel… well.
This is the Cushy approach.
A body you don’t have to fight. A lifestyle you don’t have to recover from.
If you’ve ever mistaken burnout for discipline—this space is for you.
