Physical health is the highest-leverage foundation for business success

I've come back to this principle again and again: physical health is the highest-leverage activity available to you. Not because it feels virtuous, but because of the causal chain. Physical health enables emotional health. Emotional health enables mental clarity. Mental clarity enables better relationships and better business decisions. When you short the foundation, everything above it weakens. Start your day with movement, water, and real food before you touch business work. That sequence is not soft productivity advice — it's structural. If you try to run a high-performance business on a low-performance body, you're working against yourself from the first moment of the day.
