“Clarity, mental clarity is the big one for me. Also, just more confident overall. I do feel a little more comfortable in my own body, and that’s something I never had before.”
Keenan did not have a motivation problem. He had a business to run, a body that was new to structured training, and a deviated septum that was quietly degrading his breathing every single night. He was already wearing a Whoop and watching the numbers, but the sleep scores sat stuck in the sixties and seventies, his resting heart rate stayed elevated, and his body composition had plateaued. Tracking the data on his own told him something was off, yet it could not tell him what to change.
What moved the needle was not a stricter diet or a brutal training block. It was data-driven health coaching: a weekly rhythm where Andrés reviewed Keenan’s wearable data in depth, translated it into a single next action, and held him accountable to it. Over roughly two months, Keenan did not simply lose a few pounds. He rebuilt the system underneath his recovery, and for the first time the numbers started moving in the right direction.
For a long time, effort alone was not enough. Keenan was doing some of the right things, but without a coach reading the data alongside him he could not tell which habits were paying off and which were quietly working against him. The turn came when the coaching stopped being about willpower and started being about evidence. Every week, Andrés sat down with Keenan’s Whoop numbers and turned an invisible recovery problem into something they could actually move. When the weight finally started to come off, his report was matter of fact:
“I think I was like 183 when we started. Now I’m like 177.”
The change on the scale was real, if modest. Keenan came down from 183 pounds to 177 pounds, a 6 pound drop, and he was clear that the way it happened mattered more than the number. “Losing quite a bit of weight,” he said, “body comp is getting better.” This was not a crash cut. The pounds came off while his recovery markers climbed, the signature of a body getting genuinely healthier rather than simply lighter.
For someone brand new to the gym, that distinction was the whole point. Keenan was building a consistent push and pull lifting routine for the first time, dosed to what his recovery could absorb. The weight loss was a byproduct of a better-functioning system, not the result of starving it.
If the scale told the obvious story, the Whoop data told the more important one. Sleep is where Keenan’s recovery had been bleeding, and it is where the coaching focused. When they started, his sleep score was a 73, with most nights landing in the sixties and seventies. Over the engagement it climbed to an 86, with his weekly average settling firmly in the eighties. As Andrés put it while reviewing the data: “When we first started, you were at a 73, now you are at an 86. The data does not lie.”
The cardiovascular system told the same story. Keenan’s resting heart rate fell from 68 down to 64 beats per minute, and his HRV, which had been inconsistent night to night, turned into a steadier upward trend. None of these are headline-grabbing leaps on their own, but together they describe a nervous system that is recovering better, sleeping deeper, and handling the load of running a business with more in reserve.
“It is actually pretty insane how quick the effect comes on.”
The mechanism behind the sleep gains was distinctive. Keenan has a deviated septum, and the airflow it restricted was quietly degrading his nights. Rather than treat the symptom, Andrés went after the cause with nasal and Buteyko breathing protocols, retraining how Keenan breathed both during the day and as he fell asleep. The response was fast. “I’m focusing on the breathing technique this week quite a bit, and it’s actually been helpful,” he reported, adding that it was “pretty insane how quick the effect comes on.” As the breathing settled, the recovery numbers followed: his sleep score climbed, his resting heart rate dropped, and his Whoop held in the green for a full week at a time. None of it was extreme. All of it was consistent, and consistency was the entire point.
Keenan’s story is not a six-week sprint. It is a system he can keep running, a feedback loop where the data coaches him as much as the coach does, and where each habit either earns a better number or reveals its cost. The wins he values most are not even on the wearable. “Mental clarity is the big one,” he says, “and just more confident overall.” For a founder carrying the weight of a company, feeling comfortable in his own body for the first time is the kind of result no scale can capture.
