Unlocking Peak Performance – A Dentist’s Guide to Health, Productivity, and the Entrepreneurial Mindset – Dr. Peter Dinh
If you want to optimize performance, you can’t neglect your health. In this episode, I interview Dr. Peter Dinh, dentist, performance coach, and co-founder of the Gut Hormone Clinic, about his journey from unexplained burnout to optimized living. Peter shares how years of trying to better his performance failed until he addressed deeper health issues like low serotonin and sleep apnea and how he tackled these root causes through functional medicine to regain energy, clarity, and motivation.
Peter shares his application of the Flow State Psychology to create less friction in getting tasks done and how self-awareness and customized communication foster better relationships and results. Prioritizing health early is critical as a foundation for freedom, productivity, and peak performance.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
In this episode, we finish up the second part of my interview with Rob Swanson and his eight rules of investing. (If you haven’t listened to part 1, be sure to go back and give that a listen before jumping into this one.) Today, we pick up where we left off, covering rules four through eight and talking about everything from decision-making to cash flow and risk reduction.
Listen in as Rob shares his incredible insight and experience in real estate and investing to give us a few rules that help make our decisions and investments more solid. You will hear about the importance of looking at margins before buying and what boxes need to be checked when it comes to predicting a solid income stream. Rob also discusses how to define and mitigate the different risks involved so that you can come out on top.
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
