Hey, my name is Tom Walsh, and I'm the person behind @stealth_health_life.

Many of my best memories from childhood were at the dinner table with my family, sharing delicious meals together. It shaped me into who I am today and sharing experiences around food was (and is) a significant part of my identity.

After high school, I turned to weightlifting as an outlet for my need to be physically active. I started looking at food purely for fuel, not joy. Diet culture told me that good tasting food = 'bad for you', and it felt necessary to sacrifice that part of my life to reach my goals. Before long, I began to feel like I was sacrificing too much - but I wasn't willing to give up either my love for food or my passion for fitness.

I began combining my knowledge of the basic principles of nutrition with my love for food and cooking, and after tons of trial and error - I was able to learn techniques to combine the best of both worlds. I found that it was actually very possible to significantly improve the 'health' / 'nutrition' of foods without really sacrificing on taste, it just took a few ingredient swaps here and there.
