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

#331 Why Wellness Plans Fail & A Simple Framework to Find One that Works for Your with Kerri Masutto, MD

Is your health plan actually set up for success? In a world full of enticing marketing claims and quick fixes, it can be hard to choose a wellness program that delivers real results. This week on The Blueprint, functional medicine expert Dr. Kerri Masutto reveals her insider framework to cut through the noise and find health solutions that genuinely meet your needs. With over 13 years of clinical experience, Dr. Masutto has led medical teams at top digital health startups. Now, she’s sharing smart advice to protect you from getting ripped off and disappointed. Dr. Masutto walks you through key questions for identifying your true health goals, including: What life impact are you trying to solve for? What can you do yourself before medical intervention? How quickly do you need a solution? What level of improvement would you be satisfied with? She then covers the four investments you must evaluate before committing: time, energy, motivation, and money. Dr. Masutto explains why aligning a health plan with your actual willingness to engage is crucial. Tune in to gain a framework to: Clarify your health objectives Research options appropriately Ask providers the right questions Pick a plan that fits your lifestyle Iterate continually until you see real change Follow Kerri on Twitter Sign up for Erik’s weekly newsletter - Adaptation Join the AIM7 Beta Community   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 ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

Like cell components that are like just kind of dying or just old and then it kind of just recycles them or just completely gets rid of them. So it's kind of like a renewal mechanism.” 23:16 “Like, I get companies all the time are asking me like, you know, they're trying to make these autophagy products, and I'm like, no, sorry, I'm not interested. I just don't think we have enough information about this. You know, all the questions I was saying, like how much protein, like what should we put in the shake? Like, so we can call it an autophagy shake. And I was like, just don't do that.”* 26:20 “I'd say intermittent fasting either has like no effect usually on, on reproductive hormones, but it may actually benefit people with PCOS. But results are still to come.” 28:49 “So right now we only have like a couple studies in rodent models showing that are very similar to what we're seeing with the calorie restriction data. Like if you restrict yourself or a by like 20% of energy needs, they'll live 20% longer. If you restrict them by 30%, they'll live 30% longer up until I think a max of 30%. It's kind of like this mirroring effect. None of that's been shown in humans though.” ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

You can measure, they have more love, more gratitude, more confidence, more meaning in life. And I think it's because, when you look at the activities that most of us are drawn to, they either bring out what is best in us, you know, our courage, our creativity, our competitiveness, our persistence.” - Kelly McGonigal 20:09: “Every form of movement has a parallel to some sort of recreational or spiritual drug. You know, movement gives you an opportunity to tap into the brain's natural capacity to give you chemicals that make you feel good, that make you confident, that help you connect with other people that give you hope.” - Kelly McGonigal 20:30 “You mentioned endocannabinoids and the runner's high. That's one type of exercise high, and it turns out that if you engage in moderate-intensity movement continuously for about 20 minutes, your brain releases more endocannabinoids. And that along with things like dopamine and adrenaline. That gives you a very specific sense of feeling powerful and also loving.” - Kelly McGonigal 23:01 “Music gives you an endorphin rush and an extra hit of dopamine and adrenaline. So listening to music that you love enhances any exercise high. And also enhances, um, the bonding effect. Music also makes us feel more connected to others.” - Kelly McGonigal 24:53 “If you listen to music, You are going to require less oxygen to do the same amount of work. It's, it's kind of magical. It can help you be faster, it can help you be stronger. It makes hard things feel less effortful and also more enjoyable.” - Kelly McGonigal  32:25 “It's like you have a pharmacy in your muscles and they can create all these chemicals that, that improve your heart health, that boost immune function, that kill cancer cells that make your bones stronger. It's amazing. And some of these chemicals actually target the brain and your muscles wait for movement to release them. - Kelly McGonigal ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.
