Outlive

Mind Muscle with Simon de Veer

What if you had the power to ward off chronic diseases even before they strike? The answer to this question lies at the heart of our enlightening conversation with Dr. Peter Atia, author of New York Times bestseller, Out Live. We delve into the compelling world of preventative healthcare and explore how making informed lifestyle choices can dramatically change our approach to health and fitness.
Our conversation unveils the stark limitations of our current healthcare system; one that tends to react to diseases rather than proactively preventing them. We explore the crucial need for individuals to become their own health advocates, armed with medical literacy and a willingness to adopt healthier habits. With the skin in the game, we all possess the potential to revolutionize our health outcomes.
Lastly, we navigate the complex and tribal world of diet and nutrition, questioning whether we've lost focus of nutritional biochemistry in the fervor of diet wars. Dr. Atia shares invaluable insights into the effects of extreme diets on sleep and mental health. We also shed light on the often-overlooked aspect of mental health and its integral role in overall wellness. This potent episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take control of their health destiny and live a longer, healthier life.
