27,134 Veterans underwent lower-limb amputation from 2019–2023.

82% had diabetes. Fewer than 15 had a combat-related injury.

Some of the biggest threats facing our Veterans do not come from the battlefield. They develop over years through chronic disease, metabolic health, nutrition, and lifestyle.

That is why prevention and long-term health matter.

Small Things Matter.

“Lighten up, Francis.”

Sometimes working harder can actually slow progress.

Recovery matters. Sleep matters. Stress management matters. Knowing when to back off matters.

In this episode of Battle of the Bulge, Sal learns that progress is not always about pushing harder. Sometimes it is about recovering better.

Know when to push. Know when to recover.

Small Things Matter.

77 out of 100 young Americans cannot meet the standards to enlist.

The most common single reason is weight.

That check engine light came on long before anyone reached a recruiter. We kept driving.

Readiness does not start at 18 and it does not end at ETS. It is a forty year fight.

Save this. Send it to someone who coaches, teaches, or raises kids.

Which system would you fix first? Fuel, inflammation, brain, or sleep?

The people who served our country and protected our communities deserve more than a thank you.

They deserve the tools to live longer, stronger, healthier lives.

Too many military members, veterans, and first responders are struggling with preventable chronic disease, poor nutrition, exhaustion, and health problems that were never properly explained to them.

98 Octane is working to change that.

We are raising funds to support two major projects.

🎥 The 250 Years of Food documentary will tell the story of how military nutrition has affected generations of service members and why the system must change.

📖 The 98 Octane Operator Manual gives veterans and first responders practical information about nutrition, recovery, performance, and long term health in a format they can actually understand and use.

We have raised $25,430 toward our $50,000 goal.

Every donation helps us create, print, and distribute resources that can make a real difference in someone’s life.

You do not need to give a large amount to help.
You can donate.
You can share this post.
You can send the campaign to someone who cares about veterans, firefighters, police officers, medics, and military families.

These men and women showed up for all of us.
Now it is our turn to show up for them.

Sugar feeds the problem.

Jess Higgins Kelley, MNT, ONC and John New talk about what is really bogging so many of us down.

Excess sugar feeds inflammation.
It feeds weight gain.
It feeds cravings.
It feeds the cycle of depression, shame, and poor health.
And yes, cancer cells use sugar too.

This is not about fear. It is about awareness.

The fuel we put in our bodies matters. For our veterans, first responders, families, and communities, the fight for better health starts with understanding what is happening under the hood.

At 98 Octane, we are here to educate, advocate, and help people take back control one choice at a time.

98 Octane showed up at Chester County Veterans Affairs’ Summer VETFest 2026 at West Chester University of PA.

We connected with veterans, first responders, families, volunteers, and community partners, and had real conversations about health, service, and the work still ahead.

Our mission is simple:

Help military, veterans, and first responders live longer, stronger, healthier lives.

One conversation at a time.
One county at a time.
One life at a time.

Thank you to Chester County for having us, and a huge thank you to Alex from AdaptableStrength.com and our veteran volunteer Jacob for showing up and supporting the mission.

The Battle of Bulge continues timing type and total are the topic of this episode.
If it's made in a plant avoid it if it is a plant eat it. We all have an opportunity to take the steering wheel back.
Start today.

Small choices matter.

Beautiful day at General George Washington’s Valley Forge Park.

This is where purpose gets real.

Our first volunteer Army fought with limited resources, brutal conditions, and everything on the line.

They helped build the freedoms we live with today.

We owe it to them and to ourselves to stay disciplined, stay healthy, and maintain what they fought for.

Out there with .

He cares. He gets it. He’s helping 98 Octane move the mission forward.
