In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, is joined by Dr.Ruchir Sehra, MD, MBA, FACC, FHRS, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist, for a candid discussion about what actually moves the needle for healthspan when life is full. They talk about the fundamentals that sound simple but are not easy, the nuances from person to person, and the role of measurable data in turning good intentions into sustainable outcomes.
They have a practical conversation about what cardiologists actually do to optimize their own healthspan. They discuss how busy physicians can lose track of their own wellness, and why sleep, exercise, walking, and consistent tracking matter more than perfection.
You will also hear how simple routines like eight hours of sleep, resistance training, running, even if you are not a runner, and walking whenever possible can create momentum that improves everything else.
About the Guest: Dr. Ruchir Sehra is a cardiologist and electrophysiologist who also works at the intersection of medicine and innovation. In this conversation, he shares his personal health routine, the supplements and medications he uses, and how he thinks about prevention through measurable data and individualized strategy.
