I’m Mike, dad to 3 year old girl and 10 month old boy.
I started @FuncFatherhood because I’m tired of the “perfect dad” highlights — I want real, practical talk about being a functional father in 2026.
No judgment, just what actually works. #DadLife #Fatherhood

Lifting isn't just about looking good. After about 30, you slowly start losing muscle unless you work to keep it. I want to stay strong enough to keep up with my kids now and my grandkids someday. That's why I keep showing up to the gym.

Eggs are cheap, quick and one of the most nutrient dense foods out there. About 6 grams of protein each, plus B12 and choline, which kids need for brain development. Most of that is in the yolk, so we eat the whole egg. That's a big reason they're on my kids' plates.

My wife makes all of this work. I get the credit for the posts, but she's the reason our house runs the way it does.

Being financially stable before committing your life to someone isn't selfish. It's a smart priority.
Magnesium is one of those minerals a lot of people don't get enough of. Your body uses it for muscles, nerves and sleep. It's part of my routine every night, and it's a big reason I pay attention to what I eat too.

Greek yogurt is in my breakfast almost every day. Because it's strained, it has about twice the protein of regular yogurt. It also has probiotics, the good bacteria for your gut, and calcium for your bones. An easy breakfast I feel good giving my kids too.

Asparagus has been on our plates next to steak lately. It's high in vitamin K, which helps keep your bones strong, and folate, a B vitamin your body uses to make new cells. Plus some fiber. An easy way to get something green on my kids' plates.

Work is done, dinner's done and the kids are fed. Now my wife and I finally get some time together. That's my favorite part of the day.

Dinner was simple tonight. Homemade mac and cheese with grass fed ground beef on top and a salad on the side. Nothing fancy and everybody ate.

true wealth is completely deleting the concept of an alarm clock from your entire existence. waking up when your body is naturally done sleeping is the ultimate flex.
The kids actually slept until 6:30 today, so I got a later start. It's so warm in here that the cold plunge is the last thing I want to do. Then it's off to the gym and a few hours of work. Hoping we can find an adventure later.

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite carbs. The orange color comes from beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A for your eyes and immune system. They also have fiber and potassium. An easy side I feel good putting on my kids' plates.
