“With an improved healthspan, cognitively, people are on their game. They’re in flow with their business. They’re able to be much more productive.” For Dr. Fred Grover Jr., the Chief Medical Officer of Phi Longevity, this is more than a vision—it is a measurable goal. By prioritizing proactive, integrative health strategies, Dr. Grover points out that optimizing physical and mental well-being goes beyond extending life; it’s about thriving in every area of work and life. Entrepreneurs, he explains, can unlock extraordinary creativity, leadership, and resilience when they prioritize their health as much as their business goals.

In this episode, Alex Raymond is joined by Dr. Grover and Steve Pinedo, the co-founder and CEO of Phi Longevity, to discuss why health is an important foundation for effective leadership and sustainable business success. Together, they introduce the Foundational Five—a holistic wellness framework centered on nutrition, movement, sleep, regenerative self-healing, and cutting-edge therapies.

By treating health like a business—tracking key metrics and focusing on impactful strategies—this episode reveals how to boost performance, extend longevity, and enhance mental clarity. It’s a call to shift from a reactive to a proactive approach to wellness, offering entrepreneurs practical steps to take control of their health and future-proof their lives.

Quotes

• “In the allopathic traditional world, you’re looking at a 10-minute visit that just doesn’t provide an ample amount of time to address prevention other than say, ‘Okay, it’s time for your mammo, time for your PSA, time for your colonoscopy.’ And that’s about all they’re able to tackle.” (05:46 | Dr. Fred Grover Jr.)
• “With an improved healthspan, cognitively, people are on their game. They’re in flow with their business. They’re able to be much more productive.” (06:28 | Dr. Fred Grover Jr.)
• “Wellness is just critically important because medical science has delivered a number of great innovations that have allowed us to live longer and really long, potentially fulfilling lives. But because of a lot of our unhealthy lifestyles, we’re living a lot of our end of our years in a very debilitated state. And the only way we can really counteract that is through proactive medicine and proactively taking care of ourselves.” (03:02 | Steve Pinedo)
• “What are those numbers that you manage your health to? And what are those key performance indicators for your health, for cardiovascular health, for body composition? What is your percentage of muscle? What is your percentage of fat? How are they changing over time? So you have to sort of think about this more systematically about what those numbers are, and then work with a team to think about what are the modalities that you can employ and control to address those.” (11:30 | Steve Pinedo)
