In this episode, we discuss the modern quest for optimization and maximization in health practices and how it might be making us miserable. Drawing from an article from the Sunday Times, we chat about this trend through the lens of this podcast's six core values: knowledge, discernment, diversity, encouragement, faith, and grace.


Key Topics Covered

  • The dangers of health "maximization" culture
  • Importance of finding information relevant to your unique body
  • Why men's health advice often doesn't work for women
  • Viewing your health journey through a lens of grace
  • Finding balance between health goals and spiritual well-being
