A Note from Mike Patterson Owner of Live Lean Rx Houston

I have always been a data analyst at heart. The understanding of data that I built as a professional helped me personally 16 years ago when, at 43 years old, I weighed 314 pounds and was in the worst shape of my life. When I realized weight loss was actually a math problem, I started by running, as it was all I knew, to burn calories and cut out the obvious: alcohol, fast food, excess sugars, and fried foods. I lost 85 pounds, but I didn’t have much strength and I didn’t know yet that I probably lost a lot of lean tissue, too. In other words, I’d become ‘skinny fat’! I started strength training and as I gained muscle I felt better but something was missing and I was still about 25 pounds overweight. I started looking closely at what I ate and learned to track macronutrients. I read The combination of cardio, strength training, and a macro-balanced diet brought dramatic results. I lost another 15 pounds of weight, I put on visible muscle, and became both strong and lean.
In 2014, I learned about DEXA scans being used for body composition analysis. For the first time, I saw how much body fat, lean muscle tissue, and bone I had. I also had my metabolism measured and learned that I needed to eat more calories to gain the muscle I wanted. Imagine if I’d had access to these tools earlier! I could have avoided a lot of frustrating guess work. When I was ready for a follow up DEXA scan, I realized there were few providers in the Houston area. In fact, there are not many in the entire country as these type businesses are very hard to manage and operate with regulatory compliance, high cost to operate and still keep affordable.  These tools are commonly used with professional athletes, expensive aging and wellness clinics and within the medical community to help diagnose disease and disorders, but why should we have to wait until we’re sick if these tests can help prevent or reverse obesity-related disorders now?
I’ve spent years studying nutrition and human physiology while working to overcome the challenges of complying with all regulations for these services. while keeping them affordably within reach of customers. With ongoing support from friends and family, I opened the doors to what I believe will be an invaluable service to anyone looking for a better way to understand their bodies. Those close to me have playfully (and sometimes seriously!) questioned my decision to leave behind a successful technology career in favor of this new business. My answer is, “This IS a technology career!” and I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to apply it.
