Why I Started ‘Wellness by Michael Tomasini’

Most wellness content on the internet has one big problem: it’s either too perfect to be true, or too dramatic to be useful.

You’ve seen it. The “one weird trick.” The miracle morning that somehow requires zero kids, zero travel, zero stress, and a bank account that sleeps eight hours a night. The before-and-after photos that scream certainty—when real life is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes held together with coffee and calendar invites.

This blog is my attempt to do something simpler, stranger, and (I think) more valuable:

I’m going to run a personal, real-life wellness experiment—week by week—and report honestly.

Not as a guru. Not as a doctor. Not as someone with perfect discipline. Just as a human who wants to feel better, perform better, and live better… without pretending that life stops being life.

The real reason I started

I’m a busy professional. I travel. I work across cultures and time zones. I also have a family, responsibilities, and the usual modern cocktail of stress + screens + “I’ll deal with that later.” I’ve been active for years, I care about performance, and I’ve learned something that I wish more people said out loud:

Consistency isn’t about motivation. It’s about designing a system that survives chaos.

I started “Wellness by Michael Tomasini” because I didn’t want another burst of inspiration followed by a slow fade back into old habits. I wanted a process that keeps moving even when motivation doesn’t show up for work.

And I wanted to build something that’s useful to other people—especially busy professionals who want better energy, better fitness, and better habits without becoming full-time biohackers.

What this blog is (and what it isn’t)

This is not a place for miracle claims or perfect routines.

This is a place for:

• Honest weekly stories from real life
• Simple experiments I’m testing (what works, what doesn’t)
• Small, repeatable habits that are realistic when you’re busy
• A little data, used for clarity—not obsession

I’ll share what I’m doing and what I’m learning. Sometimes it will be a win. Sometimes it’ll be a mess. Both are useful.

If you’re looking for a flawless transformation narrative, you’re going to be bored here.

If you’re looking for a human trying to get better—while still being a human—you’re in the right place.

My “no-hype” rules

To keep this honest, I’m setting guardrails from day one.

1) No medical promises.

I’ll talk about my experience—sleep, energy, training, habits, mindset—but I’m not here to diagnose or cure anything. If I mention a tool, routine, or protocol, it’s because I’m testing it personally and sharing what I notice.

2) No guru voice.

I’m not here to tell you “this will change your life.” I’m here to say “here’s what I tried, here’s what happened, and here’s what I’d adjust.”

3) No cherry-picked perfection.

If I skip workouts, sleep badly, eat in a way that doesn’t serve me, or feel off—those are part of the story. Honest reporting is the point.

4) Data is a flashlight, not a whip.

Metrics are helpful when they create clarity. They’re harmful when they create shame. I’ll use numbers where they support learning, not self-punishment.

5) Privacy and respect come first.

I’ll keep family details respectful and minimal, and I’ll avoid mixing this with employer-specific content. This is about wellness, not workplace drama.

The method: how this becomes a weekly engine (not a random diary)

Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do. They fail because they don’t have a repeatable way to reflect, adjust, and continue.

So here’s the structure I’m committing to:

Daily: 5-minute check-ins (private)

The goal isn’t to write literature. It’s to capture reality.

On most days, a check-in might include:

• Sleep (rough quality)
• Movement (what I did, even if it’s small)
• Food rhythm (especially if travel is involved)
• Mood / energy (a simple read)
• One lesson or observation

It’s private. It’s quick. It’s raw.

Weekly: Sunday synthesis (public blog)

Once per week, I’ll turn the private notes into a public post that includes:

• The story of the week (what really happened)
• A simple takeaway
• One small experiment for the next week

This is the heart of “Wellness by Michael Tomasini”: learning in public, without pretending.

Monthly: chapter-style roll-up (for the future)

Over time, weekly posts become chapters. Not because I’m trying to build a “brand empire,” but because patterns only reveal themselves after repetition.

A month of notes shows trends you can’t see in a day:

• What habits survive travel?
• What routines break under stress?
• What consistently improves energy?
• What consistently backfires?

That’s where the real insights live.

What you can expect from the writing

I’m writing this for an international audience—people with different cultures, schedules, and constraints. So I’ll aim for:

• Clear language (no jargon without explanation)
• Concrete details (what I did, when, how it felt)
• Empathy (because life is hard and nobody needs extra shame)
• Motivation without fantasy (encouragement rooted in reality)
• Practical steps (things you can actually try)

I want this to feel like a conversation with a smart friend who wants you to win—without selling you a fairy tale.

Why this also matters for future sponsors and clients

Let’s be transparent: I’m building something here.

Not just content, but credibility.

If you’re a future sponsor, partner, or client reading this, here’s what I want you to see over time:

• Consistency: weekly publishing and follow-through
• Integrity: no hype, no fake certainty
• Real-world relevance: travel, time pressure, and imperfect conditions
• A clear audience: busy professionals who want sustainable habits
• A testing mindset: I learn, adjust, and keep moving

In other words: this isn’t performance theatre. It’s proof of work.

And if you’re a reader, that proof is for you too—because you deserve advice that comes from practice, not just opinions.

My promise (and my first tiny experiment)

Here’s my promise: I will keep this honest.

I will celebrate wins without exaggerating them. I will share setbacks without turning them into drama. I will focus on what’s real, repeatable, and useful.

And I’ll keep the experiments small enough that they survive real life.

First tiny experiment:

Each week, I’ll pick one small change to test—something that takes less than two minutes to start. Not because I lack ambition, but because small things compound when you actually do them.

That’s the whole philosophy in a sentence:

Small actions. Real life. Honest results.
