Why I started MVMNT Health.
Who I am
I work in professional services. I've spent my whole career as an accountant: long days, deadlines, numbers. For most of that time I was out of shape, and I knew it.
What changed
Not motivation. Method. I started treating my health the way I treat a set of accounts: measure everything, test the assumptions, and follow the evidence rather than the loudest voice in the room.
That meant structured training, nutrition and supplements, regular blood work and body scans to see what was actually happening, and medical treatment, prescribed and monitored by my doctor. Today I'm very much in shape, and I know why, because I measured it.
Why MVMNT Health exists
Health and fitness is full of confident claims, miracle protocols and people selling whatever they use. I wanted the opposite.
- My experience, labelled as experience. What I've done and what I've found, never presented as proof.
- My opinions, labelled as opinions.
- Every factual claim backed by peer-reviewed research, linked on the page so you can check it yourself.
What I won't do
I'm not a doctor, and nothing here is personal medical advice. I won't publish doses, protocols or where to get prescription medicines. Treatments like hormone therapy belong with a doctor, starting with a blood test. When I write about them, the evidence, the risks and the law will be on the page, and those articles are reviewed by a qualified health professional before they're published.

The evidence, first.
