427 — Emma Tekstra: The Actuary’s Data-Driven Blueprint for Well-Being

Episode 427 Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description

Risk analysis rarely shows up in wellness conversations—but it should. Emma Tekstra brings an actuary’s eye to health, questioning why modern medicine excels at intervention yet struggles with prevention. From pharmaceutical incentives to lifestyle tradeoffs we’d rather ignore, this conversation strips wellness down to first principles: data over dogma, accountability over convenience, and long-term human flourishing over short-term fixes. A pragmatic, sometimes uncomfortable rethink of what it actually means to be healthy.
