Taking a Deep Dive Into My Long-Term Health [Joe Stephan]

<p dir="ltr">Welcome to <strong>Episode 81</strong> of It's Never About Money.<br /> <br /></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> To conclude this health-focused season, I'm doing something a little different – and frankly, it's pretty confronting.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> Because of my family history of stroke, cancer and high blood pressure, I've long carried a belief that I wouldn't live a long life. That mindset has shaped the way I live, work, manage money and plan for the future – but it's always been driven by fear rather than fact.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> So I decided to change that.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">I recently undertook the <strong>HealthScreen Platinum Program</strong> with Dr David Badov – a full-day, hospital-grade diagnostic deep dive that examines everything from heart health, cancer risk and genetic markers to biological age, gut health and over 100 blood biomarkers. </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Rather than guessing about my future, I wanted to understand – in clear, data-backed terms – where I actually stand, and whether, despite my genetics, there's a way I can influence my environment to live not just a long life, but a healthy one.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, I share the entire experience, including:<br /> <br /></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">My mindset before completing the HealthScreen<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The preparation process<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">What the assessment involved, from MRIs and ultrasounds to blood tests and body composition scans<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The cost and my honest reflections on the experience<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">My cardiac, cholesterol, blood and hormonal results – and my doctor's recommendations<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How my environment and lifestyle choices have influenced my health<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">My family's reaction<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How this knowledge will change the way I live and plan for the future<br /> <br /> <br /></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">We often say we want to invest in our health. Yet when it comes to proactive testing, many of us avoid it – much like estate planning or writing a Will – because it forces us to confront uncomfortable possibilities.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">Wherever you are on your own health journey, I hope this episode provides clarity, perspective and the impetus to prioritise your own wellbeing and longevity. Because money means very little if you're not here to enjoy it.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Disclosure</strong>: I received a 20% discount on my HealthScreen and donated this amount to Cufa – an independent Australian not-for-profit development agency focused on alleviating poverty in the Asia-Pacific region.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">HealthScreen is offering It's Never About Money listeners a 10% discount.

Decoding the formula for being healthy, happy and present dad [James Stephan]

<p dir="ltr">This episode is a little different. When we decided to focus this season of It's Never About Money on health, I knew there was one conversation I needed to have. My brother James has always been someone I admire, but his approach to exercise and self-improvement continues to surprise me in its intensity and consistency.<br /> <br /> <br /> In this conversation I try to understand the why behind the way he lives. We could not be more different in how we think, plan and move through the world, yet we share the same history, the same family story and the same hopes for the future. Exploring where we overlap and where we diverge has always been meaningful and, at times, complicated.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> FIND OUT MORE:</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> 🔗 SIA Website: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGJnNWo5WHh2VXkyWkxfaFYzcTVwZnJWaHQxZ3xBQ3Jtc0trc2xTd3FiRDhpMzlSa05IaWQ3ZFlqUTBwTVZkRmlHY2phSVh0aktMMzZhcG5YQWFNUVRLa1hyaEdRZm5vcEtKeDQxS1hjNlRrbEhjOWFLWjRkYy13N1hQUGV5a0FYNmlRNkxtWE81cUR5bW9udTJXSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmindpilot.com%2F&v=BQDodso8Z9E"> </a><a href= "https://siadvisory.com.au/about-meet-the-team/">https://siadvisory.com.au/about-meet-the-team/</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> 🔗 James on LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWEtZHN6YklHMFl5NGVUN1lDZ05yemdUZDg1QXxBQ3Jtc0tuUXRIWjE0S1VycEJoa2pEbTdwM2pBYnRpWHc2NUhyODhqZDdjbDN4VTFwc2lOdEE0UGR4bmt6Q09jdHVDVDJ1bmNWemtNYmNQNTN5R0JTcWN6bWhOR2RIWmpfMGVMdm4wcGhPb2kzcjRvOTJHMUpwOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fhannah-conkey-mind-pilot%2F&v=BQDodso8Z9E"> </a><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-stephan-49903115/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-stephan-49903115/</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> ABOUT IT'S NEVER ABOUT MONEY:</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> Joe Stephan is a Financial Planner with Stephan Independent Advisory, based in Melbourne, Australia: <a href= "https://siadvisory.com.au/">https://siadvisory.com.au/</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> It's Never About Money is powered by Stephan Independent Advisory: <a href= "https://itsneveraboutmoney.com.au">https://itsneveraboutmoney.com.au</a> </p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> It's Never About Money is a proud supporter of Cufa: <a href= "https://www.cufa.org.au/">https://www.cufa.org.au/</a> </p> <p> </p>

The Business Case for Wellbeing [Dr. Patrick Aouad]

<p dir="ltr">Imagine if your employer supported you to be your healthiest, sharpest, most energised self – not just in the office, but at home as well.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> Not simply a fruit bowl in the kitchen or the occasional wellbeing webinar, but meaningful, integrated support: access to doctors, psychologists, dietitians and performance coaches, alongside practical tools to help you manage stress, improve sleep and reduce your risk of chronic disease.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> In this episode of It's Never About Money, I'm joined by <strong>Dr Patrick Aouad</strong>, specialist neurologist and Founder and CEO of CU Health, Australia's leading health and wellbeing platform for employees.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> Patrick began his career in clinical neurology, working with complex brain conditions and seeing firsthand how profoundly health shapes a person's capacity to live and work well. Over time, he became increasingly drawn to prevention, and found himself asking the question: if most people spend the majority of their waking lives at work, why aren't workplaces central to how we deliver proactive healthcare?</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> That led him to build CU Health, a connected digital platform that brings together general practice, psychology, dietetics, health coaching and executive performance coaching in one place, designed specifically for the workplace. The mission is far-reaching – to improve employee mental and physical health in a way that creates real value for both individuals and organisations.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> In our conversation, we unpack the economic impact of poor health – from burnout and disengagement to the hidden cost of people operating below their potential. Patrick explains why mental wellbeing is the primary workplace health risk, and why he believes that investing in employee health is more important than AI when it comes to the future of work.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> We also talk about individual responsibility – prioritising sleep, movement and diet as non-negotiable foundations – and the reality that guided support is often the bridge between knowing what to do and actually following through.</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> This episode takes a look at the real return that can come from your employer investing in your health, and why wellbeing might just be the most undervalued asset in modern life.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong><br /> <br /> FIND OUT MORE:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> > <a href= "https://www.cuhealth.com.au">www.cuhealth.com.au</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> <strong>ABOUT IT'S NEVER ABOUT MONEY:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> Joe Stephan is a Financial Planner with Stephan Independent Advisory, based in Melbourne, Australia: <a href= "https://siadvisory.com.au/">https://siadvisory.com.au/</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> <br /> It's Never About Money is powered by Stephan Independent Advisory: <a href= "https://itsneveraboutmoney.com.au/">https://itsneveraboutmoney.com.au</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-e6170eb7-7fff-3d57-cff1-d9b44481abcd"><br /> <br /></strong>It's Never About Money is a proud supporter of Cufa<strong id= "docs-internal-guid-e6170eb7-7fff-3d57-cff1-d9b44481abcd">: <a href="https://www.cufa.org.au/">https://www.cufa.org.au/</a></strong></p>
