Welcome to episode 44 of the Dr. Mike Show - New Year, New Metrics for Health
2022 is coming to a close and if you are like me, you are reviewing 2022 and making plans to make 2023 even more fulfilling. I think it is important to take time each year (many of us to this on the eve of the New Year but one's birthday is a common time as well) to objectively review our health and understand what our body and our blood is telling us about how healthy we really are. Sometimes we can think that we are doing the right things or the things that we need to in order to have our body's functioning at an optimal level - but we might not be. Our blood doesn't lie. You don't know unless you have it tested (and you need to understand what the tests say!).
In this episode of the Dr. Mike Show, I walk you through key blood markers for optimal cardiovascular health, blood sugar optimization, and what you should understand about your cardiovascular fitness. I answer the question about body weight and how much weight you should aim to lose once and for all (there might be too much common sense in this part of the show!).
The second half of the show is dedicated to helping your become a Performance Optimizer. We look at the 5 key habits for optimal performance and how to compound their benefits over the course of the year.
- Steps: Daily - 10,000; Annually - 3,650,000
- Sleep: Daily - 7-9 hours; Annually - 3,000 hours
- Meditation: Daily - 20 minutes; Annually 7,000 minutes
- Protein + Vegetable Meals: Daily - 3 meals; Annually - 1,000 meals
If you want additional help and guidance on becoming a Performance Optimizer you can join in on the first Performance Optimizer Challenge of the year. It is a 6 week sprint to optimize these 5 areas of your fitness/health.
