QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:

Career driven high performers greatest liability is their health

The pace maintained in your 20's and 30's can cause health issue in your 40's and 50's

In the effort to take advantage of your most productive years, health is sacrificed on the altar of success

As the symptoms of metabolic disease increase you risk cutting short your productive years

Some high performers maintain both a demanding job and compete in a recreational sport increasing physical stress with little recovery

The desire to win and be successful drives you to ignore pain and fatigue and feel guilty about rest

Its time to change your strategy voluntarily before you are forced to by an unforeseen health event

Change how you motivate yourself away from fear of failure

Delegate more work related tasks, plan healthy meals, make time for rest, adequate sleep and time with loved ones

Time is short Eliminate decision fatigue by planning ahead and using wearable tech to help manage your lifestyle choices

Get regular blood tests and track progress

Focus on lifestyle changes as accomplishments rather than an immediate result that may not be sustainable
