Are wellness retreats just luxury getaways, or can they transform your health? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I speak with Dr. Vishal Patel, who explains how most wellness gadgets might be causing more stress than health benefits. We explore the science behind Sensei's approach, including how thermal imaging can detect muscular imbalances before they cause pain, and why most saunas aren't hot enough to deliver benefits. Dr. Patel debunks popular wellness myths, shares why foot strength is the foundation of longevity, and explains why tracking obsession can be counterproductive. Dr. Vishal Patel is the Chief Scientific Officer at Sensei, a wellness retreat company co-founded by Larry Ellison and Dr. David Agus. With a background as a physician with a PhD in genetics, Dr. Patel combines Western medicine with Eastern practices like Ayurveda to create evidence-based wellness approaches that focus on personalization rather than rigid rules.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "Why am I so tired, even after a full night's sleep?" "Am I really present for my kids, or just physically there?" "Could my low energy be impacting my marriage and family life?" If these questions hit home, get ready for a raw and real conversation that unpacks the silent battles many dads face. What happens when you get three dads, 12 kids, mountains of laundry, and enough Costco bills to bankrupt a small nation... all together on one podcast? Chaos? Yep. Laughter? Absolutely. But beneath the wild potty-training stories and "Dad, look at my squat!" moments, today's conversation hits something way deeper with Matt Salazar, father of five boys, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Gent Health, and his partner, Sonny Howard, a dad of three. A quick note for listeners: Gent Health is currently available to patients only in Texas, but they will be expanding to other states very soon. Matt Salazar opens up about the silent battles of brain fog, low motivation, and the gut-wrenching feeling of being "present, but not really there" for his family. Sonny Howard shares his own wake-up call, discovering dangerously low hormone levels that could have impacted his future and his ability to truly show up at home. These guys aren't just talking about testosterone and peptides; they're talking about fatherhood, fighting through the fog, and why optimizing your health isn't just about you—it's about your family and your legacy. In this powerful episode, we dig into: The Hidden Epidemic of Brain Fog & Low Motivation: Understanding why so many modern dads feel wiped out and disconnected. The Gut-Wrenching Reality of Being "Present, But Not There": How physical and mental fatigue can silently erode your family connections. The Personal Health Wake-Up Call: Matt Salazar and Sonny Howard's journeys to uncover underlying issues like hormonal imbalances and their impact on daily life. Beyond Muscles and Materialism: Why prioritizing your health is a crucial act of fatherhood and legacy-building. Optimizing Health for Family Impact: How taking control of your physical and mental well-being allows you to show up stronger for your kids and spouse. Whether you're crushing it in the gym or staring at your kids wondering why you're so wiped out, this episode will hit home. Here's what research and observation highlight about men's health and its impact on family: Studies indicate that men experiencing low testosterone often report a 30% decrease in energy levels and a 25% increase in symptoms of brain fog. Fathers struggling with chronic fatigue are up to 40% less likely to engage in active play and meaningful conversations with their children. Optimizing male hormonal health has been linked to a 35% improvement in motivation and overall well-being, positively impacting family presence. www.thedadedge.com/529 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.gent.health www.instagram.com/genthealth

Aaron has worked with elite athletes, high-level entrepreneurs, and celebrity performers to transform the way they move, breathe, and live in their bodies. He merges structural alignment, functional medicine, emotional awareness, and deep nervous system science to help people get unstuck, physically and emotionally.

You'll learn how to regulate your state in 10 seconds or less, how to shift from sympathetic overdrive to parasympathetic calm, and how to use tools like humming, OMing, and deep exhales to control your biology in real time.

While mammograms are often pushed at age 40 as the gold standard for breast health screening, many women are questioning the risk-reward ratio and seeking safer, more holistic alternatives. Could thermography be a more proactive, less harmful approach to identifying early dysfunction in the body? This episode explores the topic of thermography as a non-invasive, radiation-free tool for wellness assessment. In this episode, we are joined by special guest Amanda Allen, owner of Austin Thermography, to break down the science, safety, and practical application of thermal imaging. We discuss how thermography differs from conventional screenings, what types of patterns it can detect—ranging from inflammation to hormonal imbalances—and how it may serve as an early warning system long before a disease manifests structurally. Whether you're looking to support breast health, monitor chronic conditions, or simply stay in tune with your body's signals, this episode will help you consider if thermography has a place in your wellness toolbox. More about Amanda Allen of Austin Thermography: Amanda is trained and certified by the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology as a Thermographic Technician.
