Watch on YouTube →Todd Vande Hei is the CEO and founder of Stark Health. After a cluster of grand mal seizures on a golf course in Texas — and an AFib diagnosis in his early 30s — followed later by a stroke, he spent 15 years figuring out what optimal health actually required. Stark is the answer he built.
The podcast is an extension of that mission. Todd brings on practitioners, researchers, and fellow high performers to have the real conversations about health that most people never get to hear. No fluff, no supplements-of-the-week. Just what the data says and what actually works.
Todd has run Stark since 2011 — over 15 years building what he believes is the most effective health optimization model available to high performers in Southern California.
