How integrative care, AI, and behavior design are reshaping health: prevention-first, data you own, and systems busy founders can stick to. Founders are optimizing everything, except their health. Quick fixes don’t scale, and siloed care leaves people guessing. In this episode, Dr. Erik Reis, Co-Founder & Director of Health & Wellness at Nobody Studios and founder of The Neural Connection, maps a practical path to holistic, evidence-based wellness. We cover prevention vs. reaction, integrating Eastern + Western approaches, what data you should actually track, and how startups can build credible wellness products without the hype. If you’re building or buying health tech, or just trying to perform at a high level, this is your playbook. If you’re a founder, operator, or investor in health, performance, or longevity, this one’s for you.
