Most leaders would never run a business using outdated, unaudited accounts. Yet many run their health using little more than how they feel.
In this insightful conversation, leadership expert Jonathan Bowman-Perks MBE speaks with Rick Miller, Clinical Director of Miller Health, about the hidden health challenges facing today's CEOs, founders, directors and senior executives.
Rick explains why high-performing leaders often ignore warning signs that their health is deteriorating, including declining energy, poor recovery, disrupted sleep, reduced mental sharpness and increasing reliance on caffeine, alcohol or other coping mechanisms.
Together they discuss:
- Why successful people often overlook their own health
- The relationship between sleep, stress and executive decision-making
- Men's health and the challenge of asking for help
- Burnout, resilience and sustainable high performance
- The five critical health metrics every leader should understand
- Cardiovascular risk and hidden markers often missed in standard health checks
- DEXA scanning, visceral fat and muscle mass
- The realities of ageing well and extending healthspan
- Why the basics consistently outperform the latest health fads
Drawing on experience across the NHS, professional sport, expert witness work, and supporting senior business leaders from Harley Street, Rick makes a compelling case for replacing guesswork with measurement and data-driven health decisions.
His message is simple but powerful:
"Measure it once, properly, before you change a single thing."
If you're interested in executive health, leadership performance, healthy ageing, men's wellbeing, nutrition, sleep optimisation or longevity, this episode is essential listening.
