Day 1

Welcome to SurgEnduro

This is my first post and the beginning of a new chapter and site. I created this site to serve as a sounding board for my thoughts on Fitness, Food, Fun, and Finance. Why these things? Well, because that’s what I want to write about!

The main reason is that I spend the majority of the day discussing, treating, and dealing with the ramifications of poor decisions regarding fitness, food, and (the lack of) fun decisions. Plus when people make bad financial decisions it affects their health, nutrition, and happiness. The interconnectedness of these four topics is what this site is all about.

Here you will find personal experience, anecdotal evidence and peer reviewed scientific literature on a wide variety of topics related to health, money, wellness, training, and nutrition (i.e. food and its production). I’m really interested in our journey to becoming more FIT!

Who am I?

I’m a physician, surgeon, husband, father, friend, amateur athlete, published author of peer reviewed medical evidence, teacher, instructor, coach, biologist, wannabe farmer, investor, closet options trader, and human being. Am I uniquely qualified to “publish” this site? No, but this site is about my own personal journey of wading through the information overload that each one of us is confronted with every time we asked Google, Bing, Alexa, or Siri something related to our decisions. I do want to make a conscious decision to separate fact from fiction and will try to remain objective whenever possible.

What am I training for?

Life.

What did I do to train this week?

Lift. Move. Eat. Live. Let’s Dive in.
