Wealthy People Upgrade Everything… Except This w/ Ted Ryce
Money School Podcast
VO2 max: an overlooked longevity metric
Ted introduces VO2 max, why cardio matters with age, and simple tests to track it.
As people make more money, they tend to get sharper about almost everything. They think long term, manage risk better, hire experts, invest wisely and optimize their businesses and portfolios.
But when it comes to health, a lot of people are still running the same basic playbook everyone else is. Standard labs, five-minute appointments, and just waiting until something breaks.
When you want to level up in every area of your life, the conversation shouldn't be, "Am I sick right now?" It should be, "Where am I headed, and how early can I catch it?"
The people who are strong, active, and dangerous well into their later decades aren't winging it. They're tracking smarter markers, finding issues years before they become diagnoses.
They understand a principle that lines up perfectly with money:
The fundamentals compound. Biohacks may be exciting, peptides are trendy, and GLP-1s are everywhere. But if your cardiovascular system is weak, your metabolic health is sliding, and you're losing muscle, then you're not really upgrading your future. You're selling it off.
In this episode, I'm joined by Ted Ryce, a performance coach who has worked with high-level entrepreneurs and starts like Richard Branson and Robert Downey Jnr.
He talks about how serious operators should think about their bodies, what advanced clients test for that most physicians never bring up, and why mastering the basics still wins in wealth and health.
Things You'll Learn In This Episode
Looking fit isn't the same as being healthy You can lift, diet, and still be metabolically heading toward disaster, so what numbers actually predict trouble years before a diagnosis?
The uncomfortable truth about weight-loss drugs If appetite goes down but muscle disappears with it, are you really improving your future, or borrowing against it?
The health metric we shouldn't ignore What does your VO₂ max say about how long and how well you'll live, and why are so few people training it intentionally?
Biohacks can't outrun broken fundamentals Before you experiment with peptides, hormones, and supplements, how do you actually master sleep, movement, and recovery?
