Stop fooling yourself

You’re smart. You’re successful. You’re busy. You have everything you need and a lot of what you want.

But not everything.

You don’t have the body you want.

What if I told you the body you think you want isn’t the healthy body you need? What if all the ads for fitness, weight-loss, drugs, and treatments are all bullshit — designed to separate you from your money and leave you worse off?

What if your doctors aren’t helping as much as you think?

What if your own worst enemy is you, and you’re on a treadmill heading for an early, expensive, and uncomfortable death?

If you’re willing to admit that what you’re doing isn’t working, then listen up, I have something different.

The 90-day health launchpad

Health audit
Includes a set of blood tests I will send you to get. I prioritize three main biomarkers:

  • A1c (insulin resistance)

  • apoB (cardiovascular disease risk)

  • Number of pounds of fat you need to lose

Diet
For all clients, I emphasize cutting sugar, alcohol, and getting the right amount of protein. The rest depends on your numbers and goals.

Fat loss
No crash diets! Don’t lose 30 pounds in one year — they will come back. I’ll design a slow and steady diet program just for you. No weight-loss drugs! If you’re already on semaglutide, see my taper page. I can help you lose a lot of weight not in a hurry. Better to lose weight consistently and keep it off than to yo-yo up and down.

Hormones
Almost all women over 45 benefit from some form of hormone replacement. Despite what you may have heard, hormone replacement is the foundation of a healthy life after 50.

Muscle building
Many coaches promise you’ll lose fat while gaining muscle because that’s what people want to hear. But it doesn’t work most of the time. Read my weight-loss page to set realistic goals.

Cardio is called cardio for a reason — hard, sustained exercise is very good for your heart. Short bursts and hard sprints help reverse heart disease.

Once you have reached your fat-loss goals, we change gears and work on building muscle. My training program gives you the most important results in the least amount of time.

Supplements
Most people are are using fad products that have little (or negative) impact and ignoring the important supplements that let you build muscle and bone.

Testimonials

David came along at the right time, offering the right kind of advice. He gave me the incentive to get active again and work back into the shape I was in 20 years ago. He’s making sure I don’t get injured, but it’s still very challenging. I should have started sooner, but I’m catching up now.
— Mike in the UK

David is very knowledgeable and offers great advice for men and women to help with nutrition, exercise, and supplementation. He knows all about hormone replacement therapy, which most women start too late. He encourages you to build muscle safely.
— Kathleen in Arizona

An hour talking with David Siegel about your health will change what you do for the rest of your life.
— Brian in Rhode Island

David's been working with me on tennis elbow and sleep issues for a few weeks now. He has great solutions. I'm looking forward to having him coach me on my gym workouts.
— Alex in New Jersey

I truly believe that starting off on the right foot—doing things correctly from the beginning—sets the stage for strong and lasting success. I’d love to help David spread the word about his coaching skills and support his journey to inspire more people.
— Lisa in Florida

I contacted David and paid him for a first consultation just to help me with getting a weight vest and starting rucking and working on my knee issues, but he asked for a blood test and has since helped me with so much more. I'm always learning new things I can do to improve my health. He continues to give me insights every week.
— Stacy in California

David is the real deal. We've been working together for six weeks, he has changed my mindset and motivation. I’m getting stronger with less weight. With his program, you start to see results immediately.
— Steve in Virginia

I save lives

In the first meeting I identify the things you’re doing (or not doing) that are most likely to kill you sooner than you think.

Nicole had injured her back in her 20s, so she didn’t lift weights. I told her that osteoporosis will shorten her life significantly, and we could design an exercise program for her to build bone slowly and safely.

Mike was working long hours and hadn’t been in a gym in years. I got him set up with a few pieces of equipment at home, a new bike, and a gym membership. Now he shows me his progress every week on Zoom, and he’s loving the results.

Gwen thought taking estrogen would cause breast cancer. I walked her through the science, the mistakes and misinformation, and she decided to try a good online urologist. Now she feels ten times better and is building muscle in the gym for the first time in decades.

Mary wanted a CT scan of her lower back, to see if there’s a herniated disc. I asked her, “And if you see a herniated disc, what then?” She said she would have to get it fixed. I said “No, that’s the problem — many studies have shown that lower-back surgery generally causes more problems than it solves. You should only get a scan if you really would do something different depending on the result, and in this case, it’s a bad decision.” I saved her the hassle, and her back is already much better.

Jamie had high-cholesterol. I told him he had to lower it, but he said it was heredetary. I got him a better cardiologist, and now he’s taking the right medications and working out specifically to help improve his heart health.

Paris wanted a concierge doctor, because her husband had one, and she wanted one of her own. I told her: “Concierge doctors aren’t the best doctors; they are the best at getting rich clients and maintaining relationships while using their network of med-school buddies to treat patients. They are not the most up-to-date clinicians. You don’t need a concierge doctor; you need a concierge coach who can get you all the resources you need when you need them.”

Mark had fatty liver disease and didn’t know it. He was in good shape, but we completely redesigned his diet to reduce his A1c number.

Kellie had a naturopath who prescribed very dangerous hormone pills. I got her an online hormone specialist who set her up with the right supply and doses.

Sharon asked me if she could just take my bone-building program. I asked her “What’s your estrogen level?” She said it was 25. I said “How are you going to build bone with no estrogen? That’s why I don’t do separate programs, I look at the whole client and what each person needs, in what order. She needed estrogen first to grow bone.

Are you ready to try something different?

You might not be. You might still prefer the hamster wheel of what you’ve been doing for the last 5-10 years. Most people get attached to their health choices and prefer to defend their patterns rather than change them. They are easily swayed by YouTube and Instagram influencers, voices of authority, and their random assortment of doctors.

But if you’re open to trying something new that can change your life, talk with me.
