Your health isn’t just personal—it’s your leadership edge.
In this episode of The Purpose Matrix, Phil sits down with Dr. Adrian Accay, founder of Apex Functional Health, for an eye-opening conversation on preventative medicine, parenting, and why your purpose might be impossible to live out without prioritizing your health.
After building a successful pharmacy business, Dr. Accay found himself facing a mysterious illness and a potential cancer diagnosis. That pain sent him down a new path—one that transformed not only his health, but his entire philosophy on life, purpose, and parenting.
He now helps high performers apply the same leadership principles they use in business to their own health, building sustainable habits that align their energy with their purpose.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to:
Prioritize their health before crisis forces it
Parent with purpose by modeling healthy living
Understand the 5 areas of foundational health
Break generational cycles of poor nutrition
Reframe health not as a goal, but as a means to live your purpose
Dr. Accay shares the real reason sugar is so dangerous (and so hard to quit), why most adults are walking around in a pre-disease state, and the biggest health shift that changed everything for his family.
Whether you’re a leader, a parent, or just someone who wants to have more energy and presence—this episode will show you how.
