When 26-year-old yoga teacher and personal trainer Drew Valentine arrived at Stark, he seemed like the picture of health—lean, athletic, and mindful. But underneath the surface, his testosterone was dangerously low, his protein intake was inadequate, and he was unknowingly undernourished and underpowered.

Three years later, Andrew has redefined what "healthy" looks and feels like—achieving elite body composition, peak mental clarity, and strength that matches his mobility.

In this conversation Drew tells Todd:

• How he raised his testosterone from the 200s to 700—without drugs.
• Why eating more—especially protein and carbs—actually helped him shed fat.
• How yoga and mindfulness gave him emotional depth, but strength training gave him confidence and power.
• Why learning to follow before leading was the key to leveling up professionally and personally.
• How gratitude—before opening the door each day—became his greatest performance enhancer.

Whether you're a young professional trying to find your footing, or a seasoned high-achiever looking to fine-tune your health, Andrew’s story is proof that mastering the fundamentals creates extraordinary results—especially when you commit with humility and curiosity.
