Most of us would agree that the way to get motivated to make small changes is to have a big vision... but is that big goal always worth the time and effort it'll take to get there? Whether it's running a race or learning a foreign language or a musical instrument, does the end goal itself have to be worth it, or is the process itself — the discipline, the progress, and what it all makes of you — worth it on its own? In this episode, Matt Frazier, Isabelle Caputo, and Doug Hay draw on their personal experiences to explore these questions and more.

It's easy to take for granted just how much we've allowed digital media to creep into our lives over the past two decades — to the point that we've lost much of what it used to mean to be human. Add to the constant dopamine hits we get from our screens the ones we get from our food and our drugs (even just caffeine), and soon enough, our entire days are frittered away in search of the next fix, be it a bite of junk food or a few minutes doom-scrolling through Instagram. But within reach there's a way to take back your life, at least when it comes to digital distraction. It's the 30-day digital declutter described by Cal Newport in his book Digital Minimalism, and in this episode of the Outlier Health Podcast, Matt Frazier and Matt Tullman break down the steps and the rules of implementing this life-changing process in your own life.

In this episode the four of us discuss ways to eat healthy (and not just sort of healthy, but really healthy) when life gets so busy that just getting a meal on the table feels like a win.  We also followup on Matt and Matt's previous episode's alcohol conversation, with Isabelle and Doug weighing in with two new takes on whether or not a small amount of alcohol has a place in a healthy lifestyle.

In this episode of the Outlier Health Podcast, Matt Frazier and Matt Tullman dig into the controversial topic of alcohol. During the 1990's, red wine (consumed in moderate amounts) gained the reputation of being beneficial for heart health. But that research has largely been debunked, and in 2024, it's accepted by most people that alcohol of any kind isn't good for us. And yet when we look at the longest-lived, happiest cultures in the world (like the Blue Zones cultures), we see that moderate alcohol use is a part of many of their lives. So what's the deal? Is it just correlation? Or is responsible alcohol consumption actually beneficial — or at least, not harmful — in the quest for a long, happy life?

For the first time, in this episode all four of the Outlier Health Podcast team get together to discuss that most minutiae-laden of topics... the morning routine! We talk about what exactly each of us does every morning to best prepare for a productive, fulfilling day... and then discuss whether morning routines actually help at all. Are they truly the key to success influencers make them out to be? Or would we be better off just doing something that makes us happy in the mornings? 

Optimize your nutrition, optimize your fitness, optimize your sleep. Optimizing is the new hacking, but somehow more sophisticated. But lost in the world of high-tech solutions for squeezing the most out of your time and your life is the very human need to actually live. When you're busy counting macros, it's easy to forget that meals are meant to be enjoyed, and when you're hooked up to a heart monitor and a Strava account, you're definitely not doing the same kind of running our ancestors did.  In this episode of the Outlier Health Podcast, Matt and Matt explore optimization culture and ask the questions: Is all this optimization worth the enjoyment it costs us? And does it really help with health at all?
