Dear Executives Over 50 Members & Coaches, Inspired by our engaging conversation about peptides, supplements, my book recommendation, and ice baths / cold plunges during our meeting last night. I wanted to write this email recapping what was discussed, share the resource materials, the book and the websites I recommended. I thought this might be beneficial to those who didn’t take notes during our meeting last night and especially valuable to those who weren’t able to attend last night’s meeting. Peptides: This is one of the best articles I’ve read explaining what peptides are, which ones have been proven to work, and also why you should be careful if you’re considering peptides as part of your overall health & well-being protocol. Peptides — What Does The Science Say? https://med.stanford.edu/news/insights/2026/08/peptides-what-does-the-science-say.html Supplements: Examine.com is probably the best website I have discovered in order to research supplements. It is widely regarded as the “Switzerland” of the supplement review industry because it is completely unaffiliated with any and all supplement manufacturers or brands. It’s the first and and pretty much the only place I go when I need vitamin & supplement information. FYI — They used to have a lot more free information. Now to get the most in-depth information they have a subscription service. But, I have found that if you input into their search function the information you’re looking for in different ways you’ll get a more complete picture. Supplement Testing Sites: These are the 2 third party testing sites when researching a specific supplement brand I recommend. They test and verify whether what’s stated on the bottle’s label is actually in the bottle.

Good overview on recent Private Equity growth and the value creation premise and what has changed. https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/transformation/our-insights/unlocking-full-potential-five-practices-reshaping-pe-value-creation?stcr=4AF7610D7E3948B986B9B589D9C967DF&cid=mgp_opr-eml-alt-tfm-mgp-glb--&hlkid=b316835a2ff145cfbe3e34d66a9d174d&hctky=9794079&hdpid=8db67cb7-9da8-4587-b167-85cdc0f48398

I have been doing a lot of networking lately, and having honed my “elevator pitch,” I still often get the question, “Well how exactly do you help your client’s — is it workouts or nutrition…?” In my view, It’s much more than that. It starts with embracing the trust that my client’s place in my abilities and my expertise in order to help them improve their overall health & well-being. Protecting that trust so that it increases in value, and in which almost all cases, has led to longterm relationships is the foundation of our work together and success. But that doesn’t always sell the room as they say… And so I’d like to share with you my featured profile in Executives Diary Magazine which I believe encapsulates my evolution, my successes, and my philosophy which you have all contributed to and helped shape. And I think might sell the “right rooms” filled with the “right people.” Please share this with anyone who you think could use my help and/or anyone who asks, “Working with a health coach… What’s that like?” All My Best.

When Dirk was a client of John Furth's 6 or 7 years ago, he was already thinking about transitioning out of corporate roles into something more entrepreneurial. He finally made the leap and hasn't looked back since. Dirk's clients are tech entrepreneurs looking for that special element that will give their products the traction they need to succeed. Dirk will talk about how he combines his myriad of talents and experience with the ability to listen and unearth the concerns of his target audience in a way that compels them to want to work with Dirk.
