From Obsession to Balance: How Extreme Fitness Nearly Broke Me

At 29, Tom Trotter was no stranger to raised eyebrows when it came to his work ethic. Long hours and relentless dedication to growing his business had become his norm, and he'd grown accustomed to people questioning his intense commitment. So when his family and friends began expressing concern about what they perceived as an obsessive fitness routine, Tom initially brushed off their worries.
His single-minded focus was just part of who he was—a driven entrepreneur who approached both business and personal goals with the same unwavering intensity. What others saw as potential warning signs, he viewed as passionate pursuit. Little did he know that these well-intentioned warnings would soon reveal a deeper truth about his health and lifestyle that he couldn't ignore.
The line between passionate dedication and potential risk was blurring, and Tom was about to learn that sometimes, those closest to us see what we're unable or unwilling to see in ourselves.
