Rebuilding My Body & Starting Over After Spinal Fusion Surgery

The Rich Roll Podcast

This is a solo AMA focused on my diet and fitness routine in the aftermath of spinal fusion surgery.

I walk through the specifics — what I ate, how I trained, how I went from 207 pounds and completely atrophied to dropping 37 pounds while building lean muscle — and the salient lessons I've learned about patience, consistency, and approaching reinvention with a beginner's mind.

There's also a broader conversation about aging, agency, and what it means to stop trying to get back to who you were. Enjoy!
