Here’s a hard truth: If you’re not prioritizing your health, your kids probably won’t either. And it’s only going to get harder for them as the world gets more convenient—and more unhealthy.

Children of obese parents face a stacked deck:

• 50% chance of obesity if one parent is obese.

• Over 80% chance if both parents are obese.

But here’s the good news: It’s not too late to change.

Your kids are watching everything you do—the good, the bad, and the unhealthy. They don’t just inherit your genes; they inherit your habits.

Here’s what Leah and I do to break the cycle:

• Lead from the front: Your kids won’t eat broccoli if they see you eating pizza every night. Show them what healthy looks like.

• Make health a family mission: We plan meals and workouts together. It’s not just about us—it’s about raising strong, healthy kids.

• Start small, stay consistent: A daily walk, a veggie on the plate, or swapping soda for water might seem minor, but it’s the foundation of lifelong health.

Every choice you make today creates the environment your kids will grow up in. Are you building a legacy of strength or struggle?
