David Grant, Late 30s
David, known to many as Fat Dave, spent most of his life active and cycling to work, moving constantly, but with some bad habits creeping in over time.
Then lockdown hit, and his world shifted. Moving into a sedentary job, weight piled on. Substance abuse, especially weed, had quietly taken hold for 17 years, becoming a major player in his life.
Through deep conversations and commitment, David has been green-free for two years now. This physical transformation shedding 40 pounds is a powerful symbol of his wider shift toward a better lifestyle.
David still has work to do, but with the BetterMan program’s longer-term support, he’s building momentum. We’re helping him navigate career decisions and support his dream of developing a barber brand a path where his passions and BetterMan values collide.
David’s journey is proof that no matter the past, change is possible. It takes time, real work, and a system that meets you where you are.
