Tom Arnold turned a frightening medical scare into a lifestyle makeover that has left him feeling better than ever.
In January, the 63-year-old comedian was giving his nine-year-old son, Jax, and six-year-old daughter, Quinn, a bath when he began feeling a strange symptom on his face.
'It felt like a <a href="https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/curtain">curtain</a>; came down over my eye,' the True Lies star told Today. 'The old me would have just gotten on the plane the next day and gone to Alaska [to shoot a TV pilot]. But I had the kids, so I put them to bed, and I researched it.'

According to the Mayo Clinic, a mini-stroke is actually called a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and may cause the same symptoms as a stroke but without any damage to brain cells or permanent disability.
The mini-stroke was the latest ailment after the comedian had heart and organ failure in 2020.

These incidents, along with the added weight he put on throughout the pandemic, motivated him to make lifestyle changes for the sake of his children.
'I could feel the physiological effects of being 285 (pounds). I'd go through airports, and I'd be huffing and puffing a little,' Arnold told the outlet. 'My kids are very active, and I could tell I was putting myself in a position to not be a good father.'
He enlisted the help of trainer Charles D'Angelo and began doing 30 minutes of cardio each morning and eating six meals a day.

A typical day's menu consisted of a protein shake with strawberries for breakfast, fish or chicken with vegetables for lunch, and the same for dinner. Snacks included raw almonds, low-fat yogurt, and a popsicle at the end of the day.
Within a few weeks, Arnold began seeing the effects of his new regimen.
'Before, I wasn't aware of how I was eating so much,' the Roseanne alum shared. 'There would be days when I went out in the morning to clean the table, and I was like, "Did I really eat all that?'"

He's since upped his aerobic activity to an hour a day and the elliptical machine. 'I'm challenging myself,' he added. 'I'm surprised at what I can do physically.'
In July, he shared an image of his leaner frame after losing 75lbs. He's since lost five more pounds and is especially happy to be able to be there for his children.
'This is where I've always wanted to be in my life. I've had much more money, and I've done a bunch of exciting things, but every day with these kids is as exciting,' Arnold said. 'I'm very grateful.'

Arnold has been married three other times. From 1990 to 1994, he was famously wed to actress Roseanne Barr.
He then tied the knot with Julie Lynn Champnella in 1995, before splitting in 1999. His marriage to Shelby Roos lasted from 2002 to 2008.
