In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, host Jim Oliver sits down with Dr. John Oberg, founder of Priscina Health, a behavior expert, and a healthcare innovator, to explore the direct link between health and wealth. Dr. Oberg’s mission is to help people take back control — of their bodies, their decisions, and their outcomes — through a philosophy he calls “radical incrementalism.”

Together, they unpack how small, sustainable habits compound into life-changing results — in fitness, finances, and freedom. From reversing Type 2 diabetes to understanding your “why,” Dr. Oberg’s approach blends data, behavior science, and compassion to help people get healthy for good.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why “radical incrementalism” works: how small, consistent changes beat massive, unsustainable overhauls.

  • The health-wealth parallel: why both require discipline, patience, and a personal “why.”

  • How to find your right mountain: stop climbing the wrong goals — in business, health, and life.

  • The hidden cost of being unhealthy: why illness drains both your bank account and your purpose.

  • Building trust through small wins: how one patient lowered blood sugar 100 points by just changing ice cream.

Power Moves:

1. Start smaller than you think.
Change one thing — one habit, one food, one thought — and let momentum build.
2. Find your “why.”
Your reason must be bigger than your resistance. Write it down. Revisit it weekly.
3. Move more, move right.
Wherever you are, do a little more. Choose real food over processed. Repeat.

Dr. Oberg’s Final Word

“You can’t fix the system overnight — but you can fix your habits today. Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Take one radically small step toward the life you actually want.”
