Health Is A Skill with Todd Vande Hei

Welcome to season 2 of the Health is a Skill podcast! Todd is kicking off this second season with a special guest who is sure to leave every listener with practical tools they can use right now to uplevel their health in a whole new way. That guest today is Barry Goldstein, legendary composer and sound expert, who stands as the intersection between music and healing. Together Todd and Barry dive in to the healing power of music and how this tool all of us use in one way or another can truly transform our stress management, sleep, and longevity. 

It is possible to be the DJs of our own lives—controlling how we think and feel with the help of certain types of music. Barry and Todd break down exactly how to incorporate specific pieces of music into your day, depending on how you want your mind and body to react at that moment. They also discuss the power your heartbeat has to control your mind and body, building a musical routine, and how music can serve as an aid for your workouts, sleep, and times of creativity.

What is Health Is A Skill with Todd Vande Hei?

Welcome to the Health is a Skill podcast with host Todd Vande Hei! Todd is the CEO of Stark, which exists to change the future of health and fitness in the communities they serve. For the last 15 years, Todd has been on a journey to discover what it means to be in a state of peak health. After suffering from a series of seizures and being diagnosed with high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation in his early 30’s, Todd decided it was time to make a change. Those changes fell into one of four categories: lifestyle, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. But the biggest thing Todd learned through it all? Health is a skill. You’re not born with it, like some would like you to believe, and it isn’t acquired by simply buying another product or starting that new diet. Health is something you can create for yourself, and over time it is possible to attain peak health.
