98 at 78 years old

At 78 years old, Al is living proof that it’s never too late to change the trajectory of your health. A military veteran, Al spent decades wrestling with complicated diet plans—rigid schedules, strict portioning, and endless “rules” about food. For over 40 years, he chased one goal: to return to the weight he was when he first joined the military.

But those diets came at a cost. They weren’t just exhausting—they were so intricate that they put strain on his relationships. “My wife used to think I was going crazy with how strict and complicated every different diet was,” Al admits. No program ever stuck. No system ever felt sustainable.

Then Al discovered 98 Octane.
And before our Operator Manual was even printed, Al says his life was already transformed.

“I’ve tried every kind of diet out there. Most of them were ridiculous—so many rules and restrictions it was exhausting. They all sucked. 98 Octane was the first thing that made sense, the first thing that actually worked.” – Al

Today, Al isn’t slowing down, he’s speeding up. He works full-time. He runs around with his grandkids. He feels sharper, stronger, and more alive than he has in decades. At an age where many people are winding down, Al is thriving.

And Al isn’t just a success story—he was one of the very first believers in 98 Octane. From the beginning, he volunteered his time and expertise to help shape the mission, test ideas, and strengthen the foundation we’ve built. Over the course of creation to where we are today, he has remained an integral part of the team.

We’re not only proud of Al’s personal transformation… We’re grateful for his unwavering support and belief. His journey embodies the heart of 98 Octane: education, advocacy, and community.

For Al, 98 Octane isn’t just about food. It’s about freedom. Freedom to enjoy his family, his career, and his life with energy and confidence. And for us, Al will always be proof of why this mission matters.
