Grow Your Video Business with Ryan Koral 297. How to Optimize Your Health to Maximize Your Impact with Dr. Samuel Shay
Looking after your health is an integral part of being an entrepreneur because if you're not healthy enough to operate the business, especially in the early days, then who will? Dr. Samuel Shay's mission is to give busy entrepreneurs health freedom so they can get back more time, more money, and more years of life.
Using genetic testing, Dr. Shay can help you find that unique diet that's suited specifically for your particular genetic composition, meaning you'll know exactly what diet is the best for keeping you healthy and making the most of living the entrepreneur lifestyle.
Key Takeaways- A resilience budget is just as important as a marketing budget
- There is a cost to poor health
- You need to know your genetic predisposition toward certain diets
Dr. Samuel Shay, DC, IFMCP helps busy, health-conscious entrepreneurs, moms, and mom-preneurs add an extra 5 healthy years of life, liberate $50,000, and add 50 extra quality minutes a day so that they create more freedom for themselves and others.
Dr. Shay walked his own health journey from being chronically unwell from age 6-18, including severe fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, severe insomnia, and poor nutrition. He dedicated his life to natural medicine to get himself and others well, which led him to genetics testing.
Dr. Shay has recently authored a new free eGuide that explains the 5 layers to determine your optimal diet, including the foundational genetic layer which determines if you are keto, paleo, mediterranean, or high-carb, as well as your genetic reactivity to gluten, lactose, caffeine, alcohol, histamine, and other food allergens.

"You are an integral part of the entire business. Therefore, your resilience determines a huge part of the success of the business. And why entrepreneurs do not budget for– Just like to have a marketing budget, they don't have a resilience budget. That's craziness to me." [10:41]
