156. Thomas Aksnes | From Illness to Innovation: Revolutionizing Global Healthcare

Thomas Aksnes' journey from overcoming debilitating childhood illnesses to leading global healthcare innovation is a testament to resilience and determination. Following years of ineffective treatments, a life-changing prognosis at 19 propelled him to take charge of his health. Through self-healing, he developed the HEALTH framework—Hippocrates, Education, Assessment, Locating, Targeting, Homeostasis—and founded Health Optimizing clinics. These clinics tackle health challenges at their root by piecing together the intricate "jigsaw puzzle" of the human body. By integrating cutting-edge medical advancements far ahead of conventional timelines, Health Optimizing delivers truly holistic solutions that surpass traditional methods.

Om Podcasten

We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.
