Most people know how to operate their iPhone better than they know how to operate their own body.

That is about to change.

I sat down with , the CEO of Applications at OpenAI, to talk about the launch of ChatGPT Health, and why this could be a turning point for how we prevent disease, navigate chronic illness, and actually understand what our symptoms are trying to tell us.

Fidji has lived the reality of “mystery symptoms” firsthand, POTS, chronic fatigue, the endless specialist carousel, and the frustration of being treated like a collection of parts instead of one connected system.

Now she is helping build the tool millions are already turning to for health answers, and doing it with one goal, empowerment.

Ozempic and other GLP1 drugs have been helpful for a lot of people. But when you start prescribing them to nearly 40 million Americans, you have to expect complications and side effects, like with any medication.

About 4% of people experience serious gastrointestinal complications, and nearly 75% have symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. When you do the math, that adds up to over a million people dealing with serious GI issues alone.

And for some, the complications are severe… bowel obstruction that can require emergency surgery, pancreatitis, sepsis, even life-threatening outcomes.

So while these drugs can be effective, they are not risk-free.

Without addressing food quality, protein intake, strength training, and lifestyle, the weight comes back and the risks remain.

Thanks for having me back on to continue this important conversation.

We treat our health like it’s infinite, until it’s not.

We push through exhaustion, fuel ourselves with processed food, and tell ourselves we’ll “get healthy later” once work slows down, once the kids are older, once we have more time.

But your health isn’t waiting for you to be ready. Every choice you make TODAY is either building vitality, or stealing it from your future.

Every bite of ultra-processed food. Every workout you skip. Every night you sacrifice sleep for screen time. Every stress response you ignore. These are withdrawals from your health account. And unlike your bank account, you can’t just make a bigger deposit later to fix the damage.

Your health is everything.

Your body was designed to heal, but you have to give it what it needs. Start today. Not next month, today. Because the best time to invest in your health was 10 years ago. The second best time is right now.

As my patients get older, the question shifts from “How long will I live?” to “How well will I live?”

Longevity is about mastering the fundamentals that shape your metabolism, muscle, and hormones over decades.

These three habits work together. Stable blood sugar, adequate protein, and strength training reprogram your biology to age more slowly.

Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and even many cancers don’t appear out of nowhere—they’re the result of years of biological dysfunction driven by everyday choices.

What you eat, how you sleep, the way you move, and even the strength of your social connections can influence your gene expression, gut microbiome, immune function, and hormone balance. These are the root drivers of either health or disease.

Waiting for symptoms to strike is reactive. True healthcare is proactive—starting in your kitchen, your relationships, and the choices you make every single day.

Sometimes the simplest practices can have the biggest impact.

Placing your hand on your heart while taking slow, deep breaths can calm your nervous system, release oxytocin (the love hormone), and signal to your brain that you are safe and supported.

Try this the next time you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed — it only takes a minute, but the effects can be profound.

Earlier this week, I made a post that said 88 percent of nutrition studies are funded by Big Food.

That was a mistake and shouldn’t have happened.

As has been rightly pointed out, the best peer-reviewed estimate shows that about 13% of studies reported food industry involvement.[1]

What went wrong: My team and I relied on a secondary summary instead of verifying the original study. That’s on me, and I apologize for the error.

From here on out, any stats we share will include a citation to the primary source.

Note: We archived the original post because the statistic was on a slide that couldn’t be edited. Rather than leave up information that was wrong, we removed it from our feed.
