About this episode
Introduction In Today's episode Dave Woodcock, shares how their relationship began and how Dave's health journey recently became inspiring for many. Dave explains their connection through family and describes their first discussions about nutrition and health, sparked by reading "Your Plate is Your Fate" in 2021, even though initial changes were gradual. Dave's Background and Struggle Dave grew up in Iowa and was always active, playing sports in high school and college. Nutrition was not a priority throughout his youth and early adulthood, especially living in Chicago, where an unhealthy lifestyle caught up with him by his late 30s. After a significant personal turning point and entering ministry, Dave moved to Texas and started gaining weight, reaching his highest at 266 pounds after discovering his love for Bluebell ice cream. Attempting to Lose Weight Dave initially tried typical approaches: cutting calories and exercising more, mostly through basketball, but struggled to lose all the weight. Even after moving back to Iowa to plant a church and joining CrossFit in his 50s, he remained frustrated by stubborn weight despite consistent workouts.
