Are you putting your health on the back burner?
I often say your health is the first step to living a happy, meaningful life. You could be building one of the world’s most successful businesses, but without your health, you might not have the opportunity to continue running it. You could have the most beautiful family, but without your health, you might not be able to make as many memories with them as you could have otherwise.
There are definitely circumstances that are beyond our control when it comes to health — conditions we are born with or sicknesses that arise unexpectedly. But there are also many conditions that are preventable if we’re willing to put in the hard work and take the right steps to make it happen.
Paying attention to your health should always be one of your top priorities — not something you do just when you feel like it or have free time. As an athlete, I’ve seen the countless benefits of putting your health first play out time and time again. If you treat your body right with great nutrition and regular exercise, it will always pay off in the long run.
I know the amount of information out there on health, dieting, and nutrition can get overwhelming. That’s why I’m so excited to bring you 4 of the industry’s leading health & wellness experts in this special mashup episode of The School of Greatness! If you’re ready to improve your mental clarity, physical fitness, and overall health, then this episode is for you!
Mark Hyman:
Dr. Mark Hyman is leading a health revolution—one revolved around using food as medicine to support longevity, energy, mental clarity, happiness, and so much more.
Dr. Hyman is a practicing family physician and an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator, and advocate in the field of Functional Medicine. He’s the founder and director of The UltraWellness Center, is the Head of Strategy and Innovation of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, AND is the Board President for Clinical Affairs for The Institute for Functional Medicine.
Somehow, in the midst of all this, he’s a twelve-time New York Times bestselling author. He’s also a regular medical contributor on several television shows and networks, including CBS This Morning, the Today Show, Good Morning America, The View, The Dr. Oz Show, and CNN.
Dr. Mark Hyman also hosts the leading health podcast The Doctor’s Farmacy. On his podcast, he shares a wealth of information about how our food choices are affecting our health and what we can do about it.
Needless to say, he’s an expert. Dr. Hyman is one of my favorite people to learn from about health because he is so honest about what’s going on. He’s really got humanity’s best interest at heart.
Dr. Steven Gundry:
Dr. Steven Gundry is a renowned cardiologist, surgeon, medical device inventor, and bestselling author. Although he has performed thousands of heart surgeries in his 40-year career, Dr. Gundry’s current focus is empowering people through diet to reverse and prevent ailments.

He’s the New York Times bestselling author of The Plant Paradox, and his latest book is The Longevity Paradox which is all about how we can live long, healthy lives and fight the diseases of aging.
