You’re the CEO. Your Body’s the Business. - 8 health KPIs every high-performer should understand
In this episode, Dr. Kevin White sits down with longtime patient and strategist Chris Dingess for a high-level, human-centered breakdown of the 8 key performance indicators that actually measure aging well — and how to reverse-engineer them using simple, lifestyle-driven inputs.
From VO2 Max to visceral fat, insulin sensitivity to sleep quality, this conversation connects the dots between what you measure and what actually matters for long-term health. If you're goal-driven but tired of vague health advice, this episode lays out a clear, empowering path forward — without the hype.
The 8 KPIs to listen for:
- VO2 Max – Cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance
- Insulin Sensitivity – Glucose regulation and metabolic health
- ApoB – A key marker for cardiovascular risk
- CRP (C-reactive protein) – Inflammation and chronic disease risk
- Body Composition – Especially visceral fat and lean muscle mass
- Bone Density – Structural integrity and long-term mobility
- Sleep Quality – Cognitive protection and recovery
- Movement & Stability – Injury prevention and functional independence
Highlights include:
- The “business metrics” analogy that reframes your health data
- Why VO2 Max might be the most predictive number for lifespan
- Understanding ApoB, CRP, and DEXA scan results without getting lost in the weeds
- How to shift from guessing to tracking — and take action that lasts
This is a deep-dive episode, but one that could truly change how you approach the rest of your life.
