Keys to a Healthy Life: A Q&A with Dr. Byron Jasper

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Byron Jasper joins us to address a common mistake in modern wellness: trying to supplement our way out of bad habits. We discuss why sleep remains the most powerful—and most overlooked—health tool, and why no supplement stack can compensate for poor fundamentals.
We break down where marketing fuels unnecessary complexity in supplementation, and why consistent, simple habits matter more than chasing the “perfect” protocol. We also touch on the role of preventative care and appropriate screening—how early awareness and basic health metrics can guide smarter decisions long before symptoms appear.
Dr. Jasper shares practical life advice on building routines that fit real life, not ideal circumstances. This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by wellness noise and looking for a sustainable, long-term approach to health—whether you’re a patient, athlete, or healthcare provider.
