Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear: you can’t 10x your health with a 1x mindset.
I’ve been coaching fitness for two decades, and I’ve seen this pattern play out hundreds of times. Someone shows up wanting massive results—lose 50 pounds, run a marathon, completely transform their energy—but they’re still thinking in increments. Still bargaining with their old habits. Still bringing their current self to a future-self problem.
That’s not how transformation works.
The Fitness-to-Life Translation
In the gym, we know this instinctively. You don’t build serious strength by adding one more rep to your comfort zone. You build it by completely reimagining what your body can do, then systematically proving yourself right.
The 10xHealth Mindset works the same way—except it applies to everything. Your energy. Your focus. Your capacity to show up for the people you love. Your ability to handle stress without falling apart. Your entire operating system.
And here’s where it gets interesting: health isn’t just about your body. It’s about how you think, how you move through the world, how you recover from setbacks, and whether you’re building endurance for the long game or just sprinting toward burnout.
What Actually Changes
When you adopt a 10xHealth Mindset, three things shift immediately:
You stop negotiating with yourself. No more “I’ll start Monday” or “just this once.” You decide who you are, and then you act like that person. Simple. Not easy—but simple.
You think in systems, not events. One great workout doesn’t change anything. One healthy meal doesn’t move the needle. But a system that consistently delivers? That’s where transformation lives. You build the infrastructure first, then the results become inevitable.
You embrace abundance over scarcity. This is the big one. Most people approach health from a scarcity mindset—”I can’t eat that, I don’t have time, I’m too tired.” The 10xHealth Mindset flips it: “I get to fuel my body, I get to move, I get to invest in the person I’m becoming.” Same actions, completely different energy.
The Parenting Connection
I’m a father of two girls, and I think about this constantly. What am I modeling for them? Am I teaching them that health is a chore you endure, or a gift you cultivate? Am I showing them incremental thinking, or am I demonstrating what it looks like to go all-in on becoming your best self?
Because here’s what I’ve learned: kids don’t listen to what you say about health. They watch what you do when you’re tired, stressed, or tempted to quit. They absorb your mindset like osmosis.
That’s not pressure—that’s opportunity. The work you do on yourself ripples outward in ways you’ll never fully see.
The Entrepreneur’s Edge
If you’re building something—a business, a team, a legacy—this mindset becomes non-negotiable. You can’t sustainably 10x your output with a body and mind running on fumes. You can’t lead others to excellence while you’re personally falling apart.
The 10xHealth Mindset isn’t about perfection. It’s about intentionality. It’s about recognizing that your health is the foundation for everything else you want to build, and treating it accordingly.
How to Actually Start
Forget the 30-day challenges and the quick fixes. Those are 1x tools pretending to be 10x solutions.
Instead, ask yourself one question: “Who do I need to become to live the life I actually want?”
Not what do you need to do. Who do you need to become.
Because once you have that answer, the actions become obvious. The excuses evaporate. The negotiation stops.
You become someone who moves their body because that’s what you do. Someone who prioritizes sleep because you respect your recovery. Someone who eats to fuel performance, not just to satisfy cravings.
You become the person who already has what you’re chasing.
The Long Game
Here’s the beautiful part: this isn’t a sprint. The 10xHealth Mindset thrives in the long game. It’s designed for endurance, for sustainability, for building something that lasts.
You’re not trying to hack your way to temporary results. You’re building an operating system that compounds over time. Every good decision reinforces the next one. Every workout makes the next one easier. Every recovery day builds capacity for harder work.
This is how you 10x anything worth having.
Your Move
So here’s my challenge: stop thinking about health as something you “fix” and start thinking about it as something you build. Deliberately. Systematically. With the same intention you’d bring to any other important project in your life.
Because you can’t 10x your impact, your income, or your influence while running on a 1x body and mind.
It’s time to level up the whole system.
Let’s build something that lasts.
