Health isn't the absence of disease. It's the presence of vitality, of energy, of feeling good.

And there's a big difference between healing and curing.

Welcome to Made to Thrive. I'm your host, New York Times best-selling author Chris Carr,

and it's my mission to help you feel better, live bolder,

and create a more meaningful life. Let's get started, my friend. It's finally here. For so long,

people have been asking me why I don't have my own podcast. Well, I may be late to the party, but my dress

is pressed and I am here now, my friends. Cheers! So let me tell you what Made to Thrive is all about.

Each week, we're going to dive deep into the practices, philosophies, and research on how to squeeze

every drop out of our magnificent lives

and feel good while we're doing it. So I want you to get ready for my hard-won wisdom bombs,

practical, tactical wellness advice, as well as interviews with top health experts in the world, all of which is designed to help you thrive.

Now, if you know what makes me tick, then you know that I have been on a quest to feel my best

and live like I mean it for over two decades now. I'm obsessed with educating myself and testing my findings, and I'm passionate about learning

how other people thrive to. Because here's the sitch. Success leaves clues. So with that in mind,

I'll be picking the bright brains of some of the most talented and resilient people alive today. Folks who've achieved the

unimaginable, who beat the odds when they were stacked against them. Innovators who became

wildly successful based on their own damn tenacity and so on. Each week, I'm going to be

coaching you and I'm going to be learning with you.

So tune in every Wednesday for your weekly dose of wellness. Now, let's pause for a minute.

I want you to take a deep breath with me now because I'm about to drop a wisdom bomb and I want you to be really ready for it.

Okay?

Take a deep breath in.
