Entrepreneurs and business leaders are the backbone of a thriving economy. These high achievers spend a great portion of their lives building and scaling successful enterprises. With such demanding day-to-day activities, many of these go-getters find themselves with a high-performing bank account at the expense of their physical health.
Many would argue that the solution is simple: Get a trainer, go to the gym, and eat healthily. However, those who prescribe this type of game plan are forgetting that an entrepreneur's lifestyle is not that of the average person. Like an athlete, business leaders and entrepreneurs have an intense and focused mindset. Their lifestyle is not the same as everyone else's, and neither should their health plan. However, having a plan in place to protect personal health is necessary for an athlete or entrepreneur to meet their goals.
The purpose of this article is to introduce three specific resources that allow business leaders to personally optimize their physical health and focus on creating a thriving business and healthy retirement. These three tools, or "The Three B's," are bloodwork, biomechanics, and biofeedback.
Bloodwork
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This pearl of wisdom used by many in the medical realm holds its weight. For business leaders and entrepreneurs, I recommend having bloodwork done. Bloodwork is the best hedge against potential diseases, health risks, and the inevitable side effects of aging. Bloodwork will point out clear vitamin-mineral deficiencies, and the unique needs of your body as you age.
