This week we are all about optimizing our health. Vikram Raya speaks with board-certified orthopedic surgeon and CEO of Optimal Human Health about leaving his role as a physician treating individuals with foot and ankle issues, to helping those prevent and reverse chronic disease before they get to him. In this episode, they cover the four layers of the pyramid of optimal human health, nutrition, supplementation and peptides. If you are unhappy in your role this is not one to miss!

“When your ‘shoulds’ finally become ‘musts’ is when you have the trigger to take that massive action and really burn the boats, if you will, and claim the island.” 

– Vikram Raya
