I'm Gene — some folks call me Lewy. Three years ago, at 53, I had six bypasses. This site is what I've learned since, told honestly: the health side, the savings side, and the Papa Fuel mug that changed how I looked at both.
I went in expecting one stent. I came out with six bypasses.
Before any of it, my doctor wanted me on a statin for my cholesterol. I never took it — and looking back, I believe that's what let the blockages build up in the first place. This Father's Day, my granddaughter gave me a coffee mug that just said "Papa Fuel" on it. Nothing fancy. But holding that cup was the moment something shifted for me.
I switched our household over to LiveGood for the products I was already spending money on — supplements, everyday wellness basics — and started actually saving instead of guessing.
Part of how I stay accountable since surgery is documenting a public 90-day health challenge — real numbers, real habits, no filter. If you want a simple way to track your own progress alongside it, I built a free interactive tool for that too.
