Hello, I’m Cary, and welcome to Healthy Aging Path. I’m passionate about fitness and helping others find strength and health, especially those of us who are over 50. This wasn’t always my path, but life and experiences shaped my journey into this fulfilling endeavor.

I grew up on a horse ranch, where physical activity wasn’t just encouraged, it was a way of life. Daily chores ensured I was always on the move, embracing exercise quite naturally. These early years instilled in me a love for staying active—something I carried into my college years.

During college, I dove headfirst into weight lifting and martial arts. I enjoyed the discipline and strength these activities brought into my life. However, at 23, everything shifted. A skiing accident led to surgery on my left knee, and suddenly, my active lifestyle met an unexpected challenge.

Post-surgery, I found myself balancing a desk job and family commitments, which often pushed my fitness to the back burner. The fluctuating weight and fitness levels were disheartening, a cycle many can relate to. But I didn’t lose hope. I knew there was a way to regain control.

Then came COVID, a period that, despite its challenges, allowed me to reassess my health priorities. I found the time to be more deliberate about my diet, mindful of the supplements I take, and more consistent with exercise. This was my turning point, a significant shift toward a healthier lifestyle.
