If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you thrive on growth—scaling your business, expanding your impact, and continually leveling up. But when was the last time you applied that same growth mindset to your health?
Here’s some tough love: If you’re blaming age, genetics, or bad luck for feeling stuck in your health journey, you’re living in a fixed mindset—and it’s holding you back.
In this blog, we’ll explore how adopting a growth mindset can revolutionize your healthspan, optimize your performance, and even reverse aging. It’s a game-changer for entrepreneurs who want to stay sharp, energized, and unstoppable.
And if this resonates with you, check out Podcast Episode 121: Can Changing How You Think Really Increase Healthspan? for a deeper dive into this transformational topic. Listen here.
What’s Holding You Back: Fixed vs. Growth Mindset
The concept of fixed versus growth mindset, popularized by Dr. Carol Dweck in her book Mindset (a must-read I highly recommend), explains why some people thrive while others stay stuck.
Fixed mindset: Believes abilities and outcomes are static—“I can’t change my genetics,” or “Aging is inevitable.”
Growth mindset: Believes that effort, strategy, and learning can create change—“What can I do today to improve my future health?”
As entrepreneurs, you probably embrace a growth mindset in your business. But are you applying that same mindset to your health?
How Your Mindset Impacts Longevity
Science shows that your mindset doesn’t just influence your motivation—it affects your biology. Studies reveal that:
A positive view of aging is linked to a 7.5-year increase in lifespan.
People who believe they can influence their health are more likely to adopt healthier behaviors and experience better outcomes.
By shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset, you open the door to possibilities like reducing your biological age, boosting energy, and extending your healthspan.
Why Genetic Markers Matter: APOE and MTHFR
One of the most powerful tools to support a growth mindset is functional health testing, which turns the unknown into actionable insights. Two key markers for longevity are:
APOE (Apolipoprotein E):
This gene impacts your risk for heart disease and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Knowing your APOE status helps you proactively protect your heart and brain health through tailored nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase):
This gene affects how your body processes B vitamins, critical for detoxification, cellular repair, Energy and healthy aging.
If you have an MTHFR variant, personalized nutrition and supplementation can dramatically enhance your body’s ability to thrive.
By understanding these markers, you can take targeted steps to optimize your health and longevity. It’s not guesswork—it’s science-driven action.
