Show Notes:
Performance without wellness is a ticking time bomb. “Many Type-A individuals just power through until their bodies give out — but high cortisol, weight gain, or energy crashes are all red flags you can’t ignore.”
The system profits from sickness, not prevention. “We have a system that’s built around the idea that you need a drug, you need a surgery, you need a hospitalization — otherwise your medical experience is really not of value.”
Wellness is more than numbers on a chart. “You can have perfect lab results, but if you’re not in community, not emotionally regulated, and not mentally clear, you are not truly well.”
Sugar is the most addictive drug in plain sight. “Sugar drives up insulin, triggers inflammation, and crashes hormones — yet we consume more now than ever before.”
Game changers have the courage to think differently. “Doctors are often scared to step outside the box, but game changers are fearless and driven by a vision bigger than the rules of society.”
