What does true health, wealh, and wellness really look like?

In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, Sione and Alana sit down with Boomer Anderson, CEO of Smarter Not Harder, Inc., and executive director of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice. 

After receiving an unexpected heart-disease diagnosis in his early thirties, despite doing everything "right", Boomer discovered more about what truly matters in wellness and in living a life that goes beyond the appearance of health, wealth, and success.

Tune in to hear Boomer recount his health and wellness journey; what it was like, what it taught him, and the lessons he learned about achieving real health and a more balanced life beyond appearances.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why looking healthy and fit isn't the same as being healthy
  • Why external success isn't enough to bring lasting peace of fulfillment
  • The wake-up call that changed Boomer's view of success and self-care
  • The difference between treating illness and nurturing whole-person wellness in healthcare
  • Simple habits that address health care and health management
  • What it means to "stress well" and find calm in the midst of pressure
  • How presence and gratitude can renew the way we live each day
  • Practical ways to optimize your health with small and simple behaviors and habits
  • The greatest lesson that Boomer feels he's learned from life thus far
