There’s more information about wellness than ever, but are we actually getting healthier?

Dr. Stephen Hussey joins Shannon to talk about the heart attack he experienced at just 34 years old despite exercising regularly, eating intentionally, and having seemingly reassuring health markers. That experience sent him searching for answers beyond the traditional diet-and-exercise conversation and ultimately changed how he thinks about cardiovascular health, sunlight, circadian rhythm, stress, environment, nutrition, and the nervous system.

This conversation gets into some big ideas, but the takeaway is surprisingly simple: before chasing the next supplement, peptide, biohack, or perfect diet, what if we paid more attention to the basic signals our bodies receive every day?
