"Strength is more than physical. It’s about showing up for yourself, even when it’s hard. Over the years, I’ve grown stronger in ways I never imagined—hitting personal bests in the gym, staying injury-free, and reclaiming a body that feels capable and alive. But none of it happened alone. I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Mitch Rostad, M.D. who specializes in Pain, Performance, & Healthspan Optimization (www.getprimd.com). Mitch has been more than a coach—he's been a guide, a friend, and someone who sees not just where I am but where I could be. He’s helped me unlock my full potential by focusing on strength, mobility, and longevity.

Through his work, I’ve learned that healing and growth are possible at any age. I spent years believing that injuries, fatigue, or even age were barriers to feeling truly alive in my body. But Mitch taught me to look deeper—to focus on what’s possible rather than what’s been lost. Whether it was dialing in my training, improving my mobility, or making tweaks for a better healthspan, his support has been life-changing.

If you’re feeling stuck, broken, or like you’ve hit a wall, know this: strength can be rebuilt, and hope is never lost. Sometimes, all it takes is the right person in your corner. Thank you, Mitch, for helping me show up for myself—stronger, healthier, and more resilient than ever."
