Chris Boettcher: Health Without Hacks - [Making Markets, EP.69]
Description
My guest today is Chris Boettcher, co-founder of Boettcher Health. Chris has a rule: if a health plan isn’t sustainable, it’s not worth doing. Today, he breaks down how to build a health system that actually lasts. We talk about the myth of willpower, how modern food and medicine created dependency, and how to design a life that actually supports your body. Please enjoy this conversation with Chris Boettcher.
