Your Health Net Worth: How Daily Habits Shape How You Feel (Ep 56)
Episode 56
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026
Most people know their bank balance — but have no idea what their health net worth looks like. In this episode, we break down how everyday habits either deposit into or withdraw from your long-term health. In today's episode, we introduce the concept of health net worth — a simple but powerful way to understand why you may not feel your best, even if nothing feels "that bad" on its own. Using financial analogies, we explain how sleep, nutrition, stress, movement, and lifestyle habits compound over time, just like money. Rather than chasing symptoms or quick fixes, this conversation encourages you to zoom out and look at the full picture of your health. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to "do everything right," this episode brings clarity, perspective, and a much calmer way forward. What You'll Learn In this episode, we discuss: What "health net worth" actually means Why small habits matter more than extreme overhauls.
