Co-Host Dr. Rick Kirschner (https:/mountaintoppodcast.com/rick) Everyone is talking about how to be healthier. The elusive quest for happiness is also a hot topic. But what if health and happiness are actually related? And which comes first? This is a conversation every man who expects to lead and succeed must have. And obviously, it's hard to be attractive to women if you're sickly and cranky. My guest Dr. Rick Kirschner famously wrote a book on how to deal with people we can't stand. How does THAT idea fit in to all of this? Next, Rick talks about how the 'sick care system' here in the United States is robbing so many of us of our happiness as well as our health, even from a shockingly early age. And what is the link between your blood sugar, your testosterone and your weight relative to your psychological and even spiritual well-being? I mean, is happiness itself a function of health? What is the 'triangle of health'? What is Rick's theory regarding what state brings about the best combination of health and happiness? How has the last decade or so in particular dramatically affected both our health and our happiness for the worse? Although it seems obvious that fear would destroy both health and happiness, it seems there's more fearmongering in the media and in society at large than ever before. What's up with that, and how do you stand up to it? And what about our lifestyle choices? Can some of those have a tangible impact on our happiness we might not even see coming? Why do so many dudes die right after they retire? Obviously, being unhealthy and cranky is a bad looks, so what are Rick's steps to keep us out of falling into that trap, or getting us unstuck if we're already in a rut?
