Health Is A Skill with Todd Vande Hei

On this week’s episode of Health is a Skill, Todd is breaking down cardiovascular health, and why this aspect of our health is so important. For most of us, cardiovascular health is something we don’t necessarily think about, unless we have poor cardiovascular health, like high blood pressure. But cardiovascular health impacts the rest of your health as well, and, if optimized, can transform your life for the better.

Dr. Jack Wolfson, a board certified cardiologist who has turned to functional methods—versus pharmaceuticals—to become the nation's no. 1 natural heart doctor, is Todd’s guest today. Together Todd and Dr. Wolfson discuss the pervasiveness of pharmaceuticals used to “fix” cardiovascular health, the health problems people don’t always associate with poor heart health, and the practical steps we can all take to improve this area of our lives. Thinking well, eating well, and living well can truly transform your cardiovascular health from the inside out, eliminating the need for drugs that simply mask the problem instead of fixing it, and ultimately result in a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life.

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.
