There’s a difference between a financial advisor and a wealth manager. After 44 years of focusing on earning money, now, the script is flipped. This was a very scary proposition. I need to shift from saving for retirement to wealth management.
Built to Move, a New York Times Best Seller, by Kelly and Juliet Starrett aims to prepare you to improve your ability to maintain good health and mobility throughout your life. The book’s main focus: “ten tests + ten physical practices = ten ways to make your body work better.” We’ve reordered their tests starting with the six tests the authors say you should be able to do. Next, we break down four healthier ways to live your life.
I was successful in my profession, raised great kids, had wonderful friends, and even found true love. However, I was failing in the most important part of my life—my health. My medical charts said, “obese.” I wanted to get slimmer and healthier, but I just could not make it happen on my own. I believe having a loving coach was one of the essential components that led to my weight-loss success. The others were: leaning into community, developing healthy habits, and eating nutritiously.
I met the host of a mental health podcast who had gone on a ketogenic diet — low in carbohydrates, high in fat and moderate in protein — to treat his medication-induced weight gain, only to find that his lifelong bipolar symptoms resolved. I found increasing evidence pointing to the promise of keto for treating a range of brain-based disorders, not only bipolar disorder but depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and autism. The strongest evidence that keto can help the brain comes from clinical trials in epilepsy dating back 100 years, demonstrating reduction or even elimination of seizures. We had to push back hard on experts who said bipolar disorder was a chemical imbalance that couldn’t be healed with diet. Preliminary research is proving those doctors wrong, and more people deserve to know this.
