Born in the American Midwest (Michigan), Page did not grow up in a hotbed of nutritional enlightenment. Meat and potatoes were the rule, and processed and fast food abounded. Vegetables were sparse and generally boiled to an unidentifiable grey mush. As a kid, one of Page’s favourite snacks was a peanut butter and butter sandwich on Wonder Bread, which was washed down with so much Coke that his spit would turn black. Thanks to a genetic predisposition to gain weight quickly and a turbulent home life, it’s little wonder that Page was always the Fat Kid. As the Fat Kid, Page was relentlessly teased and bullied. Prone to emotional eating, Page grew fatter. He would periodically try the fad diet of the day, frequently losing weight, sometimes a lot of weight, but it always came back. School years passed, and Page started a career, married, and had kids. All the while, the years and the pounds added up. Eventually, Page reached his 50s, and the bill for a lifetime of poor health choices started to come due. Page was diagnosed as a wildly out-of-control type II diabetic, put on a host of medications, and commanded to lose weight. Obeying the conventional medical wisdom of the time, Page tried to lose weight via calorie restriction and exercise. Page became a gym rat, pushing himself to ever more extreme workouts. Amazingly, Page was able to lose over 100 pounds and reverse his type II diabetes. But it was too hard, being hungry and feeling deprived all the time. It just wasn’t maintainable. Page suffered a severe leg injury while

attempting his first marathon. Unable to work out, Page regained almost all the weight he’d worked so hard to lose. Eventually, Page’s leg healed. But the prospect of living the rest of his life in a constant state of starvation was too much to bear. There had to be a better way. That was when Page discovered time-restricted eating.
