You might think it’s strange that a financial advisor is talking about steak, sleep, and sunlight.

But here’s the thing: if you don’t feel good, think clearly, or have energy—your money doesn’t matter. You won’t enjoy it, manage it well, or make good decisions with it.

At Compound Advisory, we believe in building wealth that’s usable. Wealth that supports a life well lived. And that starts with your health.

Why We Talk About This

I’m not a doctor. But I’ve worked with enough clients to know:

• The ones who feel their best, think their best.

• The ones who are energized and mentally sharp, invest better.

• The ones who take care of their body, often take better care of their finances.

That’s why we encourage clients to invest in more than just stocks.

Invest in quality food. Good sleep. Movement. Strong routines. Real sunlight.

It’s not about six-pack abs or anti-aging hacks—it’s about creating a life where you wake up feeling good and can enjoy what you’ve built.

The Better You Feel, The Better You Decide

You’ve probably heard the phrase: “Time in the market beats timing the market.”
Same goes for your body. Small habits, compounded over time, lead to big outcomes.

• Better sleep = better judgment during volatile markets

• Better food = more clarity to lead, think, and solve problems

• More movement = fewer distractions, less burnout, better focus

• More sunlight = stronger circadian rhythm and immune system

These things directly influence how you show up in your business, your investments, your relationships—and yes, your financial plan.

My Own Routine (No Fluff, Just What Works)

Here’s what I personally do to stay sharp. Not because it’s trendy, but because it works:

• Raw dairy and grass-fed beef for nutrient density

• No seed oils—just butter, ghee, or tallow

• Cold plunges 3x per week (between 37–42°F) for recovery and stress regulation

• Red light exposure in the morning

• Mobility & strength training every week—because I want to move like I’m 30 when I’m 60

• Minimal sugar, except for raw honey, dates, and fruit—especially pineapple

• Foot strength matters: I wear minimalist shoes with a wide toe box (Flux Trainers)

• I drink a gallon of water a day with good salt

Am I perfect? No. I still enjoy the occasional drink when celebrating with friends. But I follow an 80/20 rule that keeps me in control, not reactive.

And I’ve seen the results in how I think, work, and lead. So yes—I take it seriously.

Health Is the Retirement Plan No One Talks About

We talk about risk tolerance, cash flow planning, and tax strategies… but not about the risk of losing your health too early.

Because let’s be honest:

You’ll never get to fully enjoy a $5 million portfolio if you’re on five prescriptions just to stay alive.

Why save for 30 years only to be too tired, too overweight, or too foggy to enjoy it?

Why ignore the cost of future healthcare until it’s unavoidable?

Good health gives you freedom.
It gives you energy.
It gives you options.

And those three things are the exact reasons most people come to us for financial advice.
