185: Why Your Doctor Might Be Wrong About Your Health w/ JP Newman & Ryan Williamson - 8FE

What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and your best health isn’t lack of time, but the way you approach it? Today’s guests, Ryan Williamson and JP Newman, are here to break down why so many entrepreneurs are sabotaging their health without even realizing it—and it’s not because of lack of effort or willpower. The problem is deeper than that.  Ryan, a neurologist with a background in the U.S. Navy, shares why entrepreneurs tend to ignore sleep, stress, and the mental side of health, even though optimizing these areas can skyrocket both performance and longevity. As the founder of Transcend Health Group, Ryan helps people take control of their mental and physical well-being using evidence-based practices. JP Newman, a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in real estate and a passion for performance, understands the demands of business and how health often takes a backseat. He’s here to share his personal experience with optimizing health for busy professionals, and why making it a priority can be a game-changer. We also explore the rise of biohacking, where everyone is an expert, but few actually have the credentials or real science behind them. Tune in to learn how to optimize your health in a way that enhances every area of your life, and discover why purpose, sleep, and smart habits are the true keys to success.  — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.  — Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:59 Who to listen to relative to health? 00:09:22 Entrepreneurs and biohacking 00:12:19 Longevity, lifespan, and healthspan 00:19:41 Genetic testing and longevity 00:25:57 Interpreting health data and resolving health problems 00:32:23 How to sleep better as an entrepreneur? 00:45:15 Sleep aids and supplements 00:53:49 Practical approaches to sleep and health 01:03:47 Neuroplasticity and stress management 01:10:13 High-impact health activities 01:13:41 Sauna or cold plunge? 01:16:13 Resources and outro — Additional Resources: 🔹 Investing On Purpose Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@investingonpurposepodcast361  🔹 Transcend Health Group: https://transcendhealthgroup.com/   ➡️ Learn more at: https://beyondamillion.com/ ➡️ Watch full episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5hbIUyUb68J3nhHSAGDrmUxX4vgXQ4b8 ➡️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Beyondamillion?sub_confirmation=1   Let's Connect: 🔹 IG: https://www.instagram.com/bradweimert 🔹 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beyondamil 🔹Twitter: https://twitter.com/BradWeimert 🔹 FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089061999787 —  Beyond A Million is a business podcast that reveals the scaling secrets of 8, 9, and 10-figure entrepreneurs.
