At 47 years old, I wasn’t taking care of myself. When a coworker had to take me to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack, I said to myself, “I’ve got to change my life. I’ve got to change stuff.”
Eight years later, my life is totally different - and I owe a lot of that to today’s guest, Dr. Laura Lile. Laura is a preventative care physician, a compound pharmacist, and a big believer in the fact that people can create the future of their health based on the decisions they make right now. She’s also been my concierge doctor for the last eight years.
Though we normally focus on the financial aspect of retirement, this week’s episode is all about healthcare - and specifically how to live healthy at every stage of life. You’ll learn how to work with your body to address the declines we go through as we age, how to take preventative steps now to avoid worse outcomes later, and why it’s never too late to start taking steps to change your health.
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- Why so few men are even aware of the male equivalent of menopause - and how it’s probably affecting them right now.
- Why an annual checkup and a single blood lab is almost never sufficient when it comes to painting an accurate picture of our health.
- How common chronic conditions, like acid reflux, can be reduced or eliminated.
- What Laura learned from her experiences on the Vatican’s Emergency COVID-19 Commission - and why she is such a big believer in optimizing the body’s immune system to fight viruses, rather than waiting to treat the infection.
- Steps you can take right now to reduce your oxidative and psychological stress.
