Listen Later

"Every professional athlete I've worked with has specialists that help them. They have coaches, they have trainers. Getting a coach doesn't mean you're weak. It means that you know the best use of your time is not to do a deep dive in every single aspect of health and wellness." - Dr. Myles Spar

I brought on the perfect expert to help you understand and support the men in your life! Dr. Myles Spar delivers a masterclass in men's health by framing wellness through the lens of performance and winning, something that resonates deeply with men. He reveals why traditional medical tests miss crucial markers of disease risk, explains how chronic stress literally kills brain cells, and shares the Medicine 3.0 approach that focuses on prevention and measurable outcomes. We discuss why you need to look beyond standard cholesterol panels to truly assess heart attack risk, and explore how testosterone optimization coupled with proper training transformed my husband's body composition dramatically. This conversation gives you the operating manual you need to help the special men in your life prioritize their health before problems arise.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why getting expert help and taking a holistic approach to health is crucial for optimal performance

  • How chronic stress and high cortisol levels are toxic to the brain and reduce cognitive function

  • The important health markers that standard medical tests often miss, including LP(a) and inflammation indicators

  • Why looking at both soft plaque and calcified plaque is essential for accurate cardiovascular risk assessment

  • The transformative role of proper testosterone levels, muscle mass, and strength training for men's health

  • The Medicine 3.0 approach that focuses on prevention, participation, and measurable outcomes

  • How to frame health conversations with men to increase their engagement and motivation
