I've exercised all my life and did weight training a lot when I was in Junior High and High School, I did power lifting, and in College, I met my wife in High School, and we went to College together, and we started weight training, kind of the power lifting thing. We enjoyed it, and probably about five years ago, my wife decided, "I'm going to do a bikini competition." That was pretty neat. It kind of gives a little more purpose to going to the gym. Weight training is not that hard. It's really the eating that's the hard part of dieting. Having that self control. I didn't think I could do it, but she had a really hard time with it that first time, and she said, "I think if you did it with me, we'd do it together better." We hit it off. I just enjoyed it. We'd weight train together, we'd prep together, we'd make our foods together on Sundays, we still do, and that's when I really kind of got into it. It started me out to sculpt the body, but to do it with weights over a long process, that to me is hard. And that's why I like it, because it's hard.

I live, I would say a healthy lifestyle to fit. I feel better, dramatically better since I started focusing more on what I eat and how I exercise. I don't push that on my patients, but I can promise you that in the recovery setting, just getting moving again does improve the circulation, does improve the swelling recovery. Most of my patients are back to exercising around week three. Start on cardio, different types of cardio equipment. Have a great relationship with a lot of personal trainers in the Houston area. Cross Fit gyms, Yoga gyms. To come back six months after surgery, lost 15 to 20 pounds and look even better. That's awesome, right. That's a lifestyle change. To me, that's just as rewarding as doing some of the surgeries that I've done. They go through a lifestyle change and then they inspire others. Right. So their friends and family are like, "Wow. You've really changed so much!" Patients will look and feel younger. Guaranteed. If you just take care of your body, eat well, exercise. You will look and live younger. No question.
