Founder of MyFitFormulas and the voice behind the Anti-BS Healthy Living Plan.
I built MyFitFormulas because I was tired of watching the people I care about fail at something that shouldn't be this hard.
Friends in their 40s. Family members juggling careers and kids. Smart, capable adults who kept bouncing between fitness programs designed for 22-year-old gym influencers — programs that assumed you had two free hours a day, a fully equipped home gym, and zero responsibilities outside your own body. The advice was generic. The plans were impractical. And when it inevitably didn't work, the message was always the same: you didn't want it badly enough.
That's garbage. The problem was never motivation. The problem was that nobody was building tools and plans for how adults over 40 actually live.
I started by reading the research — not the Instagram version, but the actual peer-reviewed studies on metabolism, muscle retention, calorie expenditure, and body composition after 40. What I found was that most of the popular fitness advice either misrepresented the science or ignored it entirely. The formulas existed. The evidence was clear. But nobody was packaging it into something a busy parent or professional could actually use on a Tuesday night after a 10-hour day.
So I built the tools myself. Every calculator on this site uses validated, peer-reviewed formulas — Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, the Navy method for body fat, evidence-based protein recommendations that reflect what adults over 40 actually need (not what a bodybuilding magazine from 2005 suggested). These aren't fancy. They're not gamified. They just give you accurate numbers in 30 seconds so you can stop guessing and start making decisions based on your own data.
Most fitness calculators are afterthoughts — generic tools slapped onto a website to drive traffic. Our calculators are the product. Every one of them was designed with a specific question in mind that adults over 40 are actually asking: How many calories do I really burn? How much protein do I actually need to stop losing muscle? What does a realistic weight loss timeline look like when I can only work out three days a week?
The plans follow the same philosophy. The Anti-BS Healthy Living Plan isn't a cookie-cutter template. It's built around bodyweight exercises you can do in your living room, progressive overload that respects your joints, meal plans that account for feeding a family, and grocery lists designed for one weekly shopping trip — not a lifestyle that revolves around meal prep.
Sustainability beats intensity. Every time. The best workout is the one you'll actually do next week, not the one that destroys you today. The best nutrition plan is the one your family can eat too, not the one that requires a separate meal for you at every dinner.
I'm not a celebrity coach. I don't have a six-pack selfie in my bio. I'm someone who has done the reading, built the tools, tested the plans, and designed everything around one simple question: does this work for someone with a full-time job, a family, and about 20 to 30 minutes a day to invest in their health?
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
