Investing in Health: The Steps to a Longer, Better Retirement, Ep #373

Investing in health can lead to a more vibrant, enjoyable retirement. In this episode, I share the personal health investments I've made, like sleep tracking and working with a health coach, each designed to enhance well-being and longevity. Prioritizing health alongside wealth allows us to fully embrace retirement. I detail four key health tools, each with its own costs and benefits. From the Whoop Strap for monitoring sleep quality to MyFitnessPal for tracking nutrition, these tools help create a healthier lifestyle. My biggest investment was a full-body MRI, providing peace of mind and preventive insights—sometimes, the best financial choice is a health choice. To finish, Brett and I answer a listener's question on Roth conversions, covering the best timing to optimize tax efficiency and avoid penalties. This episode offers practical advice for a health-focused, financially savvy retirement.  Outline of This Episode [0:27] Nine-Year Milestone and Book Announcement [2:30] The Importance of Investing in Health [4:17] Wearable Tech: The Whoop Strap [6:10] Health Coaching and Nutrition Tracking [8:08] Long-Term Investment in a Full-Body MRI [13:06] Listener Question: Optimal Timing for Roth Conversions Resources & People Mentioned The Retirement Podcast Network Whoop Strap – Wearable device for tracking recovery and sleep quality MyFitnessPal Premium – Nutrition and macro tracking app Prenuvo – Provider of full-body MRI scans Peter Diamandis and Fountain Life – Inspiration for full-body MRI screenings Connect with Benjamin Brandt Become a Client: www.retirementstartstoday.com/start Get the Retire-Ready Toolkit: http://retirementstartstodayradio.com/ Follow Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/retiremeasap Join the newsletter: https://retirementstartstodayradio.com/newsletter Dive deeper into retirement planning with Ben at www.RetirementIncome.University Subscribe to Retirement Starts Today on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Podbean, Player FM, iHeart, or Spotify
