In this episode of Win the Day:

“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.” – Jim Rohn

Are you comparing yourself to average or optimal? 🤔

There’s a big difference – and it will determine the entire trajectory of your life.

After becoming a parent, my health began to wane. Eventually, something triggered the awareness that I was heading in the wrong direction – and I couldn’t believe how far I’d fallen.

Much of the last two years has been not just returning to my previous state but becoming as healthy, strong, and energetic as I can possibly be.

Earlier this year, I was introduced to Lifeforce through a mutual friend. Its founder and CEO, Dugal Bain-Kim, is a fellow Aussie who has held leadership positions in finance, management consulting, and healthcare technology across three continents.

Lifeforce was exactly what I needed, made even more attractive by the fact that it fit in with my hectic lifestyle. (If you’ve got young kids and a busy career, you know exactly what I mean.) Each quarter, they send a phlebotomist to your house for a blood draw. You are then assessed on 40+ of the most important biomarkers for optimal health, given a virtual consultation with a doctor, and provided with a personalized plan to take control of your health.

It’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done.

Dugal’s co-founders in Lifeforce include Tony Robbins, Dr. Peter Diamandis, and Joel Jackson. Lifeforce has helped thousands of people with their quality of life – including improved energy, focus, body composition, and sexual wellness – and, most importantly, get ahead of some of the significant health issues that emerge when you reach 35 years of age.

Dugal holds an MBA from the University of Cambridge and degrees in Finance, American History, and Political Science from the University of Queensland.

In this episode:
• How Dugal joined forces with some of the world’s most recognized people.
• The best business lessons along the way.
• How Lifeforce is revolutionizing the way we approach health, performance, and longevity.
• Why you need to be proactive and engaged in your own health journey.

Before we begin, the right bit of inspiration can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life, so if there’s a friend or loved one who needs to hear this episode or could use some help to Win the Day, share it with them right now.

Inspiring quotes in this episode:
  • “I started my career in finance, which was a great training ground. The pay was good, but it was not a decision I made with any real thought around mission, purpose or intrinsic motivation.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “Most of us take our health for granted, but as soon as it's at risk, it becomes the most important thing in our life.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “The traditional healthcare system is effective at diagnosing things when they're broken and trying to fix them, but it’s not good at keeping people at their best.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “First you need the data, and then you need the team and the interventions to get there.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “People don't understand the quality of the doctors they're working with.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “At Lifeforce, we apply everything we know about medical science to keep people at their best.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “We use the best of new technology to give doctors superpowers in looking after you. We create an experience where you're able to engage in conversations that are broader, more collaborative, and more empowering than what you typically get from healthcare.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “Being truly healthy is having the health resources to live the way you want to live.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “The mission of the company is to make excellent proactive health available to five million people in the next 10 years.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “Often, something happens in people's lives that creates a tipping point into motivation – a desire to be more proactive. That might be a life milestone, like turning 40. It might be having a child. It might be someone close to you running into health issues.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “The three Lifeforce pillars are: Improve and sustain quality of life; Reduce personal risk of dying early from the top five killers; and Slow speed of cellular aging.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “Most clinical studies are conducted on men and largely white men. So you're talking about protocols that are often developed and applied to women based on data from men.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “100% of women will experience menopause. Less than 7% receive any sort of clinical support for menopausal symptoms. And if a woman is experiencing significant menopausal symptoms, she's 15 times more likely to either need significant time off work or have to quit a job entirely.
  • “We try to be very disciplined on what's our clinical scope.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “We thought about a single metric that could become a credit score for your health.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “Some folks are very excited by very bleeding edge experimental things, but the basics aren't taken care of. It's a little bit like putting new rims on your car when the radiator is smoking.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
  • “I've got to work on something that I would feel proud of.” – Dugal Bain-Kim
