#58 - The Foundation of Health: Stop Majoring in the Minors 44:30

44:30

Health is often seen as complicated, and many of us aren't even sure what it truly means. Is it simply the absence of illness? We believe it's much more than that. When starting a health journey, many people tend to focus on the minor aspects of health. We often spend an excessive amount of time and energy finding the perfect diet, experimenting with biohacks, and exploring various supplements. While these can be helpful, they won't make a significant difference if you haven't built a solid foundation on the major aspects of health. We haven't found a silver bullet that cures all health issues. That's why in this episode, we'll dive into the pillars of health that truly make a difference. By building a strong foundation, you can achieve major results in your health journey. Join us as we explore the majors of health.
