Every fitness journey has a defining moment—the point when you realize something needs to change.
For Dante Lista, an active warehouse manager from San Diego, California, that moment came when he noticed he no longer felt like the athlete he once was. Growing up, Dante played varsity baseball and thrived on movement, competition, and energy. But over time, long workdays and poor sleep had taken their toll.
Today, Dante is 35 pounds lighter, has gained 13 pounds of lean skeletal muscle, and recently crossed the finish line of his first half marathon.
The Turning Point: Getting His Energy Back
Despite staying somewhat active, Dante found himself running on empty.
“The turning point for me was just feeling tired and not like how I used to feel growing up,” Dante says. “I needed to get more serious, more focused, and realign with getting my overall energy back.”
At his heaviest, Dante weighed around 240 pounds. While losing weight was important, his real goal was improving his body composition, rebuilding muscle, and feeling athletic again.
Sustainable Habits and Smarter Support
Dante’s transformation was built on sustainable daily habits rather than extreme measures. He leveraged his role as a warehouse manager to walk 7–8 miles daily, committed to strength training 3–4 times a week, and practiced mindful nutrition. This approach helped him drop to 205 pounds while adding 13 pounds of skeletal muscle. To enhance his progress, Dante discovered InnoSupps through social media; the brand’s clear, detailed descriptions helped him easily identify and integrate specific supplements that aligned with his fitness and recovery goals.
Dante’s Go-To InnoSupps Stack
Night Shred®
Using an Oura Ring to track recovery, he saw measurable changes after incorporating Night Shred into his routine.
One of the biggest improvements Dante noticed was in his sleep quality.
“It gets me into a deeper sleep and helps reduce restlessness. With other melatonin products, I’d wake up feeling groggy. With Night Shred, I wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.”
T-Drive®
Dante added T-Drive later in his transformation to help support performance and recovery.
“I definitely feel a stronger pump in the gym, and I can finish a couple more sets. It extends my workouts and makes overall recovery feel a lot easier.”
Daily Performance Essentials
A few other products remain part of Dante’s regular routine:
- Inno Greens® for convenient daily greens and superfoods
- InnoSupps Electrolytes to support hydration and endurance training
- Volcan 2000®, Creatine, and Pre-Workout for training performance and muscle-building support
From Baseball Player to Half-Marathon Finisher
Perhaps the most unexpected milestone of Dante’s transformation was completing his first-ever half marathon.
“Growing up playing baseball, we’d run a mile or two at most. Thirteen miles seemed really long,” Dante laughs. “But the electrolytes, training, and consistent energy support helped me stay prepared and get across that finish line.”
Now that he’s completed his first race, Dante is already looking ahead to the next challenge.
“I’ve got a baseline now, and I’m excited to start training for the next one.”
A Transformation Others Couldn’t Ignore
The changes in Dante’s physique became impossible for friends, family, and coworkers to miss.
“A couple of coworkers even asked if I was on Ozempic because the changes happened so fast,” he says. “I leaned out quite a bit in my face and arms.”
Instead, Dante credits his results to consistent training, better recovery, improved nutrition, and sticking to the habits that helped him stay on track.
Today, he’s become the go-to fitness resource at work, helping others take the first steps toward improving their own health.
