The Smartest Doctor in the Room

Ep. 149 - Presidential Fitness: A Call for Health and Competence in Leadership


Listen Later

In this episode of "The Smartest Doctor in the Room," we dive deep into a critical but often overlooked topic: should future presidential candidates be required to undergo medical health fitness assessments? With less than two months until the next presidential election, we explore why it's more important than ever for our leaders to be physically and mentally fit. Drawing from real-world examples, historical insights, and expert medical knowledge, we discuss essential health markers such as cardiovascular health, lung capacity, mental stamina, and even empathy. Is it time to implement mandatory fitness tests for the presidency? Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on the future of leadership, health, and the role competence plays in the highest office of the land.

Join us as we consider whether our presidential candidates can truly handle the most rigorous job on the planet.
