When 61-year-old executive Craig Harper heard the words “incurable blood cancer,” his oncologist told him there was nothing he could do except wait for chemo. Craig refused to roll over. Instead, he doubled-down on strength, mobility and metabolic health—dropping to 9 % body-fat, hiking 15 k weighted steps a day and surfing every chance he gets.

In this conversation Craig tells Todd:

• Why proactive lab work at Stark caught his multiple myeloma early
• How “body optimization” (not bodybuilding) became his cancer-fighting edge
• The Wheel-of-Health habits that moved him from chemo-factory to “warrior in a garden”
• What 40-lb weighted walks, nasal breathing and single-digit body-fat do for bone health
• The mantra he’s teaching his grandkids: “Be savage, not average.”
  

Whether you’re battling disease or just complacency, Craig’s story shows what’s possible when you stop chasing comfort and start pushing the edges of your potential.
