8 Steps to Being Healthier than 90% of People | E89 Dr. Judson Brandeis

We all dread it but that day eventually comes. It might be a cough that won’t go away, a potential sprained ankle, or you’re questioning a weird bump on your arm. We have no other option. We have to go see a doctor.

How do I book an appointment again? Where’s my insurance card? How much is this going to cost me?


Healthcare is confusing, frustrating, and overly complex. I do my best to avoid having to see a doctor but sometimes it is just unavoidable. I have to put on my big boy pants and figure it all out.


This is the unglamorous part of being an adult. But with a little help, we can do this.


And our help today is Dr. Judson Brandeis who is here to give us some insight on how the healthcare industry works.


My favorite takeaway was how to better prepare for your next doctor’s visit. Apparently the average doctor’s visit is 16 minutes 14 seconds so if you come prepared with the right notes and documentation, not only will you be able to make the most of your time but these busy professionals will take you seriously too.


Dr. Brandeis has an extensive list of credentials including being named Top Urologist in San Francisco, a national leader in technology and innovations in sexual medicine, the author of The 21st Century Man. Aside from some healthcare 101, we spend the second half of this conversation discussing how to be healthier than 90% of people and what your 20-something self can do to help out future you.


Key Takeaways:

  • How to better prepare for your doctor's visit 
  • How to find a primary care physician
  • How to be healthier than 90% of people
  • Using the ABC method to build your body for life
  • Why you should consider limiting your alcohol intake
  • How drinking leads to being overweight
  • The single most important factor to your longevity
  • What you can do in your 20s to prevent erectile dysfunction 
  • Performance enhancing drugs and penis health
