From Founder Burn-Out to Hunter-Gatherer Health: Chirag Sagar & Todd Vande Hei Re-Engineer the Executive Body

Mission Matters COO Chirag Sagar works 14-hour days, pops up at every L.A. networking event—and just popped a calf walking up the stairs. In this candid jam-session, Chirag asks Stark CEO Todd Vande Hei one simple question: “Where does a time-starved entrepreneur actually start?”Todd unpacks Stark’s L.E.N.S. framework (Lifestyle, Exercise, Nutrition, Stress-management) and shows how tiny, hunter-gatherer-inspired habits snowball into decades of longevity—before you waste money on cryo or IV therapies.What we cover:Desk Jockey to Daily Hunter – why 15-minute “CARs,” 10-15k steps, and treadmill meetings beat any $200/month gym grind.The AI Office Hack – walking calls + an AI note-taker = full presence, more revenue, and zero extra hours.Glute Amnesia & Shoulder Pain – how sitting deletes your posterior chain (and the FRC drills that re-boot it).Food at Mom’s House – Indian comfort meals, social drinking optics, and the “fake gin & tonic” trick.Epigenetics > Genetics – Bruce Lipton’s Biology of Belief, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and rewriting the stories that cap your health.Forgiveness, Peace & Performance – the mindset shift that turns immigrant hustle into sustainable longevity.Whether you’re a startup founder or a 9-to-5 grinder, you’ll leave with a first micro-habit, a wider view of what’s possible, and permission to love (and upgrade) the only body you’ve got.
