In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Dr. Daniel Yadegar, triple board certified physician, Harvard and Weill Cornell trained cardiologist, longevity expert, biotech leader, and one of the most trusted medical minds shaping the future of human performance. With decades of experience treating high profile patients, building integrative medical practices, and advising in the longevity and biotech space, Dr. Yadegar brings a rare blend of advanced science, holistic philosophy, and real world practicality. Together, Gary and Daniel dive into one of the biggest challenges facing creators today: the hidden health costs of constant output. Daniel breaks down why creators crash, the biological signs your body gives before burnout hits, and the overlooked inputs that determine your energy, creativity, and longevity. He explains the dangers of dysregulation, the critical role of sleep, why mindfulness is non-negotiable for high performers, and how stress physically ages your body and your appearance faster than you think. Dr. Yadegar also shares the personal story behind his passion for medicine, from fleeing Iran as a child refugee, to growing up in the Dominican Republic, to becoming one of the most respected clinicians in the longevity world. He opens up about being a single father through IVF and surrogacy, balancing an intense career with raising two young kids, and the mindset shifts that guide the way he lives, works, and builds community. This conversation goes deep into creator burnout, self worth, the science of sustainable creativity, the psychology behind imposter syndrome, and how to build a long, healthy, fulfilling career without sacrificing your mental or physical wellbeing. If you are a creator, founder, or high performer of any kind, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about your health, your habits, and your future.
