We've been conditioned to think that spending money directly on coaching, guidance, accountability, and taking ownership of our own healthcare is indulgent, while spending on products, equipment, and supplements feels responsible.
The average American spends $13,000 annually treating preventable conditions, while personalizing your health might cost $2,000.
Learn how an engineering tool called the Fishbone Diagram helps you prioritize where your resources (time, money, effort) should best be spent.
Investing in your health isn't selfish. When you have more energy, you show up better for your family. When you're strong and confident, you're more effective at work. When you feel good in your body, you're more present in relationships. Taking care of yourself doesn't take away from others, it's what allows you to give more.
Main Takeaways:
- 5 high-ROI interventions that actually move the needle for personalized health
- How to separate evidence-based health optimization from expensive wellness theater
- Investing in your health isn't selfish, it's foundational for showing up for others
