Ask HN: If you could spend $100k to get healthy and fit, how would you do it?

I’m willing go spend up to $100,000 this coming year in order to:

* Lose 30 pounds * Eat a strict carnivore / keto diet for a year * Get stronger * Be more flexible

I know what you’re thinking: It doesn’t cost much to eat healthy, go for walks, buy some running shoes. But these things never last for me.

I’m 47. Overweight (240lb), and I suffer from chronic digestive issues and inflammation. I’ve tried on and off for years everything under the sun but I just can’t stick with it. I run out of will power.

I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars to figure out what’s going on with my body and this is what I know:

- I need to eat strictly carnivore (or Keto Low FODMap) - I need to lose weight. - I want to get strong. - I need to stretch.

Whenever I try and do these things myself it works for a few weeks, and then I go back to old habits. I’m done trying the same thing over and over, and then failing. Instead of a stupid cyber truck I want to buy good health.

If you were me, and you could spend 50k to get healthy. How would you overcome these will power issues?

Looking for creative ideas please. I don’t want to die early, and don’t want the diabetes….etc. that’s coming down the pipeline if I continue this way.

I know you can't buy discipline. But can I kick start it somehow? How would you do it?

I've read all the books, tried all the apps, need something that's a higher level of intervention.

Side note: There might be a startup here. How many millionaires out there are happy to spend 100k for a high-touch, guaranteed upgrade to their health and well being?
