Mike Neligan

Three years ago I was at an absolute low point and didn’t know it. Had I been testing then, my cortisol levels might have broken the app!

I had the CMO position at the big agency I always dreamed of, but my identity was dependent on my title, net worth, and country club.

I was successful and skinny, but not happy or healthy.

I was sluggish and angry all the time and my gut was an absolute mess. I could tell I was aging fast and likely low T.

I was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars and stuck in a vicious cycle of busy work numbed by a daily nightcap.

When my daughter was born in the summer of ’22, I knew something had to change. I hired a life coach @brianpannuzzo and built a REAL plan for the gym, committing to leg day twice a week. I started tracking macros, eating a lot more protein, eliminated processed foods, cut out the booze, healed my gut, and launched a business.

Three years later, I’m amazed to see test results like these and grateful my crazy journey in sports allows me to work with brands like @superpower

My identity is now simply associated with thriving: as a father, husband, marketer, and man. My business approach is no longer about wealth accumulation but instead as a force multiplier for brands and talent focused on a functional lifestyle.

There is still a long way to go, but at 1% better each day this journey is one I’m finally proud to be on!
