Welcome to the Optimized Life.
Optimize exists to help people embrace the earned fulfillment that comes from personal challenge and achievement. This platform is dedicated to celebrating the physical and spiritual benefits of movement and helping you break out of routines that deny you the opportunity to live a fully vibrant life.
Why? Because people grind away their days at work, fulfilling someone else’s dream, for 80 percent of their lives. Because we absorb low-quality nutrition and entertainment, go to sleep, and wake up just to do it all over again. Because these routines rob us of our vitality and full potential as humans. Because we can’t do what we could do. People are in physical pain because of sedentary lifestyles. People are starving for meaningful fulfillment and social connection. Enough.
Optimize gets people moving in strategic, objectively useful ways that solve the most common ailments that come with being a modern, sedentary human: back pain, leg soreness, tension, atrophy, general weakness, fatigue, limited range of motion, lack of balance, poor posture, and more.
On this platform, I will challenge you and provide you with the faculties and guidance to conquer those challenges.
Optimize helps people develop realistic and attainable goals, reach them, and then reassess and build new ones.
We have more control and agency over our own happiness than we realize. Optimize is here to help you find it.
