Meet Kai Turner: My Story and the Journey Behind This Blog
I grew up believing that strength meant pushing through pain—ignoring the messages coming from within.
A real man pushes through, right? Don’t be a wuss. Don’t stop to question yourself.
Guess what? A mature man does—and it took me a long time to realize that.
Early Struggles
When I was just starting out, I was broke, overworked, and surrounded by toxicity—at work, at home, and in my own body.
I was stuck in a job that wrecked my health from dust exposure, living in an apartment with a mold problem, and dealing with coworkers and managers who drained me.
My family was handling their own battles, and the weight of everything felt suffocating.
I couldn’t afford to move, and I couldn’t afford to quit. Bills didn’t take a break for me.
Eventually I got sick for seven months from mold exposure. With the help of my girlfriend at the time, I finally moved to a healthier place and began a long journey to restore my body and find balance again.
The Turning Point
For years after that, I kept grinding—commuting an hour and a half each way, staying late, squeezing in the gym when I could.
Most days were about keeping up, paying bills, and handling business.
“Bills didn’t take a break for me. My body didn’t either.”
That realization changed everything.
Fast Forward to Today
Today I live close to work, manage stress better, and continue to rebuild my health after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
If you’re dealing with any kind of health issue, the first thing I recommend is seeking professional medical advice.
For me, taking my prescribed medication is the foundation that every other habit is built on.
