Why Future-Oriented Pharmacists Prescribe Deadlifts with Dr. Jae Koonce


Listen Later

Why do we wait until it's almost too late to take our health seriously?

If you've ever experienced a rock bottom moment, you know it can be a powerful catalyst to take radical ownership over your life and your results.

This weeks guest suggests that your health and physique is yourproof of work”—visible, undeniable evidence of your daily routines and values.

Today, we're here with Dr. Jae Koonce, PharmD, certified personal trainer, Bitcoiner, and founder of Proof of Work Fitness. 

Jae is one of a kind—he's as comfortable leading advanced mobility drills in a pharmacy picnic as he is whipping up squirrel stew deep in the woods. 

Along those lines, what's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Mine is probably guinea pig in Peru (scrumptious), random fried crickets and bugs in Thailand (not recommended), or maybe the toughest old bear meat on earth from the backwoods in New Hampshire (not for the faint of heart).

But when it comes to hunting and cooking wild game, this week's guest might just teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in style. 

In this episode, you'll discover:
  • How to design your life to show up day after day, especially when things get tough
  • How to treat health as a compounding investment and dollar-cost-average your workouts by taking one small, consistent step at a time
  • Why community is a superpower and surrounding yourself with goal-driven people accelerates transformation
  • Why tiny habits create an enormous change in your trajectory
  • And much more...
Jae’s journey is as honest and actionable as it gets. Get ready for the kind of no-excuses inspiration that just might get you moving by the end of the show.
