It took me a while to recognize this, but feeling connected and having healthy relationships with others, and with oneself, is as imperative as maintaining efficient glucose metabolism or an optimal lipoprotein profile.

fifty-pound weight vest. SEAL hands it to me. “Put it on.” I grab it and put one arm in at a time. I throw the vest over my shoulders and strap it on. My immediate reaction is This is heavy. Like really heavy. It’s like having a big suitcase on your back. We do fifteen sets of ten push-ups, with thirty seconds of rest between sets. Total: 150. It takes me twenty-two minutes. It takes SEAL fifteen minutes.
