That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Quotable moments:
"Your health should support your life and not the other way around." - Dr. Kerri Masutto
"You can't make a wrong decision because you'll always get immediate feedback on whether this is working or not." - Dr. Kerri Masutto
“So the first question that you really wanna ask is, not just what is the problem you have, because this is what most people jump into. They're immediately like, I have this problem. I have low energy or I think I have low testosterone or a low libido or I have too much weight. That's the problem. What I want you to look at is what is the impact that problem actually has on your life that's prompting you to go seek health?” - Dr. Kerri Masutto
“And so what is that impact that you're actually trying to solve for? And that's important because that's usually the real motivator. And if the wellness plan or the medical protocol doesn't actually improve that impact, you're not going to be happy with the results.” - Dr. Kerri Masutto
