Are you chasing health hacks while ignoring the fundamentals?

In this solo episode of the Build Beyond Podcast, Chris breaks down what he believes are the true "100-dollar bills" of health—the habits that consistently move the needle for energy, longevity, injury prevention, and quality of life.

After years of experimenting with supplements, specialty blood work, cleanses, fasting protocols, and other popular biohacks, Chris shares why he's become increasingly skeptical of quick fixes and more convinced that the basics still matter most.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why daily physical activity may be the closest thing we have to a miracle drug

• How step counts, cardio, and strength training improve long-term health

• The critical role sleep plays in recovery, energy, and performance

• A simple approach to nutrition that cuts through the confusion

• Why stress management and meaningful relationships matter more than most people realize

• How faith and a relationship with God can influence overall well-being

• The difference between "100-dollar bills" and "pennies" when it comes to health investments

If you've ever wondered whether supplements, cleanses, or the latest wellness trend are worth your time and money, this episode offers a practical framework for focusing on what truly matters.

Health doesn't have to be complicated. Start with the fundamentals, build consistency, and let the basics work for you
