Health advice is everywhere, but Dr. Andy Galpin has seen high performers chase trends while missing the real problems holding them back. Instead of fixing poor sleep, low energy, and chronic stress, they keep adding routines that don’t move the needle. In this episode, Dr. Andy breaks down why most health advice fails, busts common fitness and wellness myths, and reveals how to identify the “performance anchors” slowing you down. He also shares how entrepreneurs can build a simple, sustainable system for energy, recovery, and long-term performance.
