He signed 50 pages of waivers to be a "Human Test Dummy" for the Department of Defense. They drained the blood from his legs to simulate dying on a battlefield. Then, he treated his business the exact same way.

In this raw episode of Performance Driven Living, Mark sits down with David Ocon (Author of Why We Ran & Real Estate Developer) to discuss the fine line between "High Performance" and "Self-Destruction."

David reveals how carrying $8,000,000 a month in mortgages and refusing to "stop at the water station" landed him in the hospital twice. This is a masterclass on why the "Hustle Until You Die" mentality is actually bad for business—and how to shift into a season of "Strategic Contentment."

In this episode, you will learn:

• The "Hemorrhagic Shock" Experiment: What David learned about human limits from a DOD casualty simulation.
• The Running Metaphor: Why sprinting is natural, but "jogging" through life destroys your soul.
• The "Distressed Asset" Trap: How David fixed broken buildings while letting his own health fall into disrepair.
• Finding Your Pace: How to transition from an "Aggressive Investor" to a "Generational Builder" after having a family.
• Introvert Networking: The genius strategy David used to get meetings with real estate titans (hint: it involves canvas prints).

Your blood work came back "Normal." Great news, right? Wrong. In a world where 90% of the population is metabolically unhealthy, being "Normal" just means you are average in a sick society.

Mark Young sits down with Steve Giddens (President of Terrain Health, formerly MtOmics) live from Metabolic Health Day in Tucson. They discuss the launch of Terrain Health, a revolutionary platform that rejects "Population Norms" in favor of "Individual Optimization."

Steve explains why the future of medicine isn't about sage-on-the-stage doctors dictating orders—it's about using AI as a "Kaleidoscope" to analyze your genetics, blood work, and lifestyle to find the root cause. They also dive into the controversial reality that AI is currently diagnosing patients with 80% accuracy, while human doctors are lagging behind at 20%.

If you want to know how to use data to become the CEO of your own health, this episode is your blueprint.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Kaleidoscope Effect: How Terrain Health uses AI to see facets of your health that human doctors miss.
• The "Normal" Trap: Why a 68-year-old's "normal" labs would be considered "critical" for a 30-year-old.
• Terrain vs. The Rest: How this platform differs from others (like Mark Hyman's Function Health).
• The AI Divide: Why the gap between the "Smart" and the "Un-adapting" is about to become a civil war.
• "Invite The Team": Mark’s strategy for using AI to simulate advice from experts like Dave Asprey and Dr. Nasha Winters.
• Compliance is King: Why the "perfect" diet fails if it doesn't fit your lifestyle (Vegan vs. Carnivore).

What if the most important “treatment” decision you make this year is simply learning how to advocate for yourself?

In this episode, Mark Young sits down with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj for a direct conversation about patient empowerment: how to ask better questions, spot gaps in communication, and stop outsourcing your health to a system that often rewards speed over clarity.

In this episode: • Why “standard of care” can still miss the individual • The questions that change the entire appointment • How to avoid passive decision-making • Shared decision-making, second opinions, and informed consent • Building a health strategy you actually understand
