Ep 400 Creating Personalized Health Plan for You with Marc Isaacson

Creating Personalized Health Plan for You

 

Take away:

The importance of personalized, root-cause approaches to health and wellness. Each person's biochemistry is unique, and therefore, health solutions should be tailored accordingly. By understanding one's specific nutritional needs and addressing them through customized supplements and lifestyle changes, many chronic conditions can be significantly improved or even resolved, potentially offering a more effective alternative to conventional medication-based treatments.

 

Money Learnings:

Marc grew up in a family with a "country club lifestyle" and didn't lack for needs. His father ran a business, which embedded an entrepreneurial mindset in Marc. He sold snacks at little league games and later had a bagel delivery route on Sundays. As a teenager, he and his brother bought and sold baseball cards at shows.

His family faced significant financial difficulties when Marc was in his late teens due to his father's business sale and subsequent health issues. He witnessed a dramatic shift from a high-spending lifestyle to financial struggles over 4-5 years. This experience taught Marc important lessons about living within one's means, saving, investing, and managing a budget.

Unlike his parents, who didn't share much about investments or financial planning, Marc later adopted an open approach with his own children about money matters.

 

Bio:

Marc has led successful entrepreneurial ventures for over 25 years, highlighted by his acquisition and expansion of Village Green Apothecary, an industry-leading integrative and custom compounding pharmacy in Bethesda, MD. Since 2002, under Marc's leadership, Village Green has grown to offer an expansive suite of personalized health offerings, including a vast selection of high-quality nutritional supplements, tailored lab testing with a focus on customized precision nutrient formulations, and nutritional consultations. Marc’s passion for functional nutrition and wellness, coupled with Village Green’s focus on personalized health, has led to the launch of Humanized Health, an educational resource aimed at helping people get to the root causes of their health conditions.

Earlier in his career, Marc founded Glacier Ridge, an all-natural beverage company that was ahead of its time in recognizing the trends toward natural and organic products. After successfully growing and selling the venture, he spearheaded the U.S. expansion of Melitta Coffee.

Marc earned a BS in Business Management from Ithaca College and completed a three-year Executive Education Program at MIT. He has been an active member of the Entrepreneurs Organization for 30 years.
