Stevyn Guinnip is a Financial Advisor's daughter who became an exercise physiologist and a certified wellness coach. She’s worked with hundreds of clients to get their health back on track and as the founder & CEO of Grow Wellthy, has helped money-minded professionals turn their health into their greatest asset. On this episode of CFO at Home, Stevyn and Vince discuss treating your health like a bank account, the importance of stress management and low-impact movement, the impact of your health on your retirement, and more.

  • Key Takeaways

 

  • Treat Your Health Like a Bank Account

 

    • Stack deposits into your “health bank account”. Example:
      • Taking a 15 minute walk
      • Walk right after lunch
      • Walk with a friend
      • Walk outside
    • Create a Health Balance Sheet (Assets/Liabilities)
      • See your health as an asset to protect and grow
      • See your health as a valuable tool in reaching your financial goals 
  • Do what’s in your control to avoid “Lifestyle Diseases”
  • Health issues can rapidly deplete financial wealth that you’ve spent a lifetime building
  • The average lifespan of retirement is 8000 days (22 years). To have a “quality” retirement, we need to maximize our healthy number of years in retirement (Healthspan). Live Long, Die Short. 
    • Stages of Retirement (Tom Hegna, “Don’t Worry, Retire Happy”)
      • Go-Go - Active stage of retirement  
      • Slow-Go - Things slow down, less travel and activities
      • No-Go - You no longer have the strength or ability to do things
