Why It's Really Hard To Incentivize Employees To Stay Fit (with Chris Hamilton)

"Your fitness affects if you, even if you have a desk job. Your fitness is going to affect your performance over the long run, because it's your energy level."  - Chris Hamilton

Chris Hamilton (Hotchkiss) needs no introduction on the show at this point; this is his fifth appearance! 

This time, Chris introduced me to the world of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) by putting a CGM in my arm at the very start of the show (be sure to listen to the whole episode to hear what my glucose level was!).

We talked about why Chris tracks his health so intensely, what he does on a daily basis to stay fit and healthy, and why he believes fitness is extremely important, even if you work at an office job. 

Chris and I also discussed how we can incentivize employee’s to care about their health, and why that’s such a struggle for employers.
