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.
On this first episode of Health is a Skill, Todd introduces us to the Wheel of Health, a tool he and his team use to holistically transform an individual’s health from the inside out. Todd walks listeners through his own experiences using the Wheel, and how, over time, each healthy choice he’s made—from diet and exercise to sleep and stress management—have built on each other to get Todd to the state of peak health he enjoys now.
Wherever you’re at in your own health journey—just starting out, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to improve an area or two—Todd’s message is a hopeful one: health is a skill, not a goal, and it’s one you can acquire with the right tools.
