This episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice for entrepreneurs ready to invest in their well-being and become the best version of themselves.

Welcome to another episode of the Empowering Entrepreneurs podcast! In this edition, hosts Glenn Harper and Julie Smith sit down with Dr. Will Haas, the founder and CEO of VIVE Wellness. Dr. Haas is no ordinary physician—he brings a unique blend of expertise with both an MD and an MBA, combining deep medical knowledge with sharp business acumen.

With a dynamic background as a competitive athlete and a relentless curiosity for optimizing human health, Dr. Haas has dedicated his career to treating the root causes of illness rather than just addressing symptoms. Growing up watching Olympic heroes and learning the value of hard work from his academic parents, he forged his own path—one that challenges the norms of traditional Western medicine.

In this conversation, Dr. Haas shares his entrepreneurial journey, from personal training and athletic coaching in college to pivoting away from conventional medicine’s “treat the symptom” approach. He explains his bio regenesis method and how he tailors cutting-edge wellness strategies for high-performing entrepreneurs whose drive and energy often come at the expense of their health.

Here are 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS for anyone looking to drive both their business and personal wellness:

• Treat the Cause, Not the Symptom: Dr. Haas explains how most issues stem from underlying cellular dysfunctions, emphasizing the importance of advanced testing and a personalized approach.
• Don’t Ignore the Foundation: Entrepreneurs often chase flashy wellness trends (like peptides or high-tech therapies) but overlook basic detox and repair systems. According to Dr. Haas, true health optimization starts here.
• Success Requires Self-Maintenance: One of the biggest traps for high achievers? Sacrificing healthy habits as things grow. Maintaining structure with nutrition, recovery, and mindset is crucial not just for business, but for lifelong energy and fulfillment.
