Why Choose IOH Nutrition? Our Story. Our Inspiration. Our Purpose.
Most supplement companies start with a marketing idea. Ours didn’t.
Ours was born out of necessity, resilience, and the refusal to accept the easy way out.
In my early 30s, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition—microscopic hematuria—where I was literally passing blood you couldn’t even see.
The medical solution? Lifelong ACE inhibitors. But I refused to accept that as my future. Something in me knew that masking the symptom wasn’t the same as solving the problem. So I made a choice: I was going to find a way to help my body heal itself.
At that point, I had weight to lose, a diet to clean up, and fitness to reclaim. I knew if I was going to turn this around, it had to start with me—taking full responsibility for my health, cleaning up what I was putting into my body, rebuilding my training, and supporting my body with targeted, proven nutrition.
And it worked. Over time, the bleeding stopped. My labs normalized. My kidneys became stronger, year after year. To this day, those markers continue to outperform expectations demonstrating my kidneys should outlive me—and I did it without a single prescription.
The Second Battle: Low Testosterone
Fast forward to age 47. My testosterone had plummeted to 216 nanograms per deciliter.
Once again, the conventional solution was a lifelong prescription—testosterone replacement therapy. And once again, I said no.
Instead, I leaned on the same philosophy that had saved me before: trust the body’s innate intelligence, give it the right tools, remove what breaks it down, and let the doctor within do its job.
I stopped punishing my body with endless hours of steady-state cardio from my Ironman years, which was driving cortisol sky-high. I shifted to strength training, precision nutrition, recovery, and strategic supplementation built around purity, potency, and proven effectiveness—the very DNA of It’s Only Halftime Nutrition.
The result? Today, at 55 years old, my testosterone naturally averages between 800 and 900 nanograms per deciliter. No injections. No gels. No patches. Just the right combination of lifestyle, nutrition, and supplementation.
The Back Surgery Comeback
But my journey didn’t stop there. Along the way, I faced emergency back surgery—a challenge that could have sidelined me for life. Once again, the easy path would have been pain medications, dependency, and decline. But I chose a different way.
I rebuilt my body, step by step, without pain medications. I returned stronger, fitter, leaner. Today, at 55, I maintain 6% body fat year-round and am in the best shape of my life—not in spite of those challenges, but because of how I faced them.
And yet, despite the physique, the strength, and the fitness milestones, what I’m most proud of is this: at 55, I’ve broken free of the narrative that tells men and women over 40 that declining energy, low libido, expanding waistlines, and a cabinet full of prescriptions are somehow the new normal.
I live independent of that system. My labs are optimized. My energy is high. And my medicine cabinet is empty. That, more than anything, is the vision I hold—not just for myself, but for every client, every customer, and every member of our community.
Our Philosophy: Quality, Purity, and Proof
These battles—autoimmune disease, low testosterone, back surgery—didn’t just shape me. They shaped the philosophy behind It’s Only Halftime Nutrition.
We built this company because we believe your body deserves the best—and far too many products on the market give you the opposite.
That means:
-
No fillers. No binders. No flow agents.
-
No artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives.
-
No shortcuts. No compromises. Ever.
Everything we create is manufactured in FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facilities, tested for purity, potency, and safety. Every raw material is screened for heavy metals and contaminants before it ever makes it into your hands. What you see on the label is exactly what’s in the bottle—nothing more, nothing less.
Because quality isn’t just a marketing claim for us—it’s a non-negotiable standard.
Proof That It Works
But here’s where we are different: we don’t just believe our products work—we prove it.
Every client we coach undergoes before-and-after lab testing, and the results speak for themselves:
-
Reduced inflammation markers
-
Improved insulin sensitivity
-
Improved hormone balance
-
Healthier cardiovascular profiles
-
Measurable gains in energy, vitality, and longevity
We don’t stop at “feeling better.” We measure, track, and document real biological change.
Why This Matters
At the end of the day, supplements don’t heal you—your body heals you. Our role is to give your body the right tools, remove what it doesn’t need, and let the doctor within do the rest.
And that is the vision behind It’s Only Halftime Nutrition: to empower our clients, our customers, and our community to age gracefully, age powerfully, and remain pharmaceutically independent whenever possible.
Because shouldn’t that be the goal of every health practice, every wellness company, every physician? To help people live long, strong, and free—not chained to prescriptions?
That’s our mission. Not hype. Not shortcuts. Just purity, potency, and proof.
Because yes, aging is inevitable. But how you age—that’s a choice.
And for those who refuse to settle, who want the second half of life to be their best half—welcome to It’s Only Halftime Nutrition.
Your body deserves the best. And we’re here to our best to deliver it.
