I lost $250,000 in a bad investment at 60 years old — and I was over 340 pounds. Instead of giving up, I stepped into a cold plunge and started fighting back. This is my weight loss transformation story: how I lost over 60 pounds by learning to sit with discomfort, one cold plunge at a time.

In this video, I share the full story — the financial loss, the anger, the weight, and the decision to change. Cold plunges didn't just help with recovery and inflammation. They taught me that discomfort is temporary and that I can control my reaction to pain, whether it's freezing water, food cravings, or a devastating financial setback.

If you're over 60 and trying to lose weight, or you're rebuilding after a major life setback, this video is for you. You don't need to change your entire life overnight. You just need to do one hard thing today — and do it again tomorrow.
