Are you doing too much in the name of health?
Between supplements, saunas, organic food, and brain games, wellness can feel like a second full-time job. In this episode, I help you filter the noise and focus on what really matters—so you can live long and well without losing your joy in the process.

We break down:

The true opportunity cost of wellness routines like cold plunges, meditation, and restrictive diets
The Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) in health: How to get 80% of the benefit with 20% of the effort
The “Big 6” evidence-based habits that actually move the needle on longevity and function
How to personalize your wellness plan based on lifespan, healthspan, and joyspan
Your health type: Are you a Holistic Hacker or a Contentment Creator? Take the quiz to find out.

🧠 Referenced Research & Data:

1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cardiovascular disease in their lifetime (PubMed)
Stroke and dementia share many preventable risk factors like blood pressure and exercise (Alzheimer’s Association)
4 in 10 people will get cancer in their lifetime (American Cancer Society)
Americans spend ~9 hours sleeping and ~4 hours on leisure daily (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

🎯 Takeaways:

Not all health habits are equally impactful. Focus first on sleep, blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, exercise, and screenings.
Prioritize based on what you value: functional longevity or joyful living—or both.
Give yourself permission to not do it all. Your health plan should be sustainable, not exhausting.
