Episode 108: Giving Yourself Control of Your Health

Peter and Dan discuss preventive, predictive, and personalized health care. Showcasing this phenomenon, they delve into a new health care company, Fountain Life, which uses data-driven methodologies and thorough diagnostics to identify disease early and enhance members’ physical and mental performance. In this episode: Peter explains why and how he sees healthcare evolving into a new model, one around which Fountain Life was founded to deliver emerging, best-in-class therapeutics and ground-breaking diagnostics in novel ways to enhance healthspan, performance and vitality. Dan discusses a compelling platform whereby patients can identify new medical therapies and technologies and send corresponding articles or medical papers to Fountain Life’s medical advisory board, by which they can be vetted to determine their viability for the company’s offerings.  Peter expresses that while testing is critical, the most important things we can prioritize are still the basics: sleep, diet and exercise. Peter and Dan give their tips for increasing quality sleep, including a temperature-controlled mattress pad, skipping TV at night, and using audiobooks to help you wind down.
