I am a spine surgeon with over 20 years of experience treating thousands of patients, and I've seen firsthand the profound impact of health—or the lack thereof—on people's lives. From operating rooms to founding Hypercharge Health and Wellness clinics, one truth stands out: without our health, we truly have nothing. I've watched patients from all walks of life—whether they're executives with substantial wealth, middle-class families budgeting carefully, or upper-middle-class professionals balancing careers and home—prioritize material possessions or entertainment, only to regret it when illness makes those things irrelevant. Before you dismiss this as just another health lecture, think about the moments that matter most: being fully present with your family, having the energy to excel at work, or simply enjoying daily life without nagging fatigue or pain. What if redirecting your focus now could set the stage for those experiences to thrive? In this blog, I'll share why it's time to become the CEO of your health, investing time and money wisely for returns that far exceed any stock portfolio or material possession. I'll also dive into why our healthcare system often leaves us underinsured for what truly matters, the pitfalls of overreliance on prescriptions, how non-traditional modalities are affordable for many, and how proactive investments can transform your life, no matter your income level.
The Undeniable Value of Health: Your Ultimate Wealth
Imagine working hard to build a comfortable life—saving for a family vacation, upgrading your car, or enjoying weekend outings—only to have it derailed by preventable illness. This isn't hypothetical; chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity affect 60% of Americans, costing $4.9 trillion annually—or about 17.6% of GDP in 2023 [1][2]. Yet, I'm shocked at how rarely people, especially those in the middle class juggling mortgages and kids' activities, prioritize health investments. We chase everyday comforts and entertainment, but ignore the foundation: feeling well enough to enjoy them fully.
Health isn't just the absence of disease; it's the vitality to be present with loved ones, pursue passions, and thrive at work. In my practice, patients often arrive frustrated, saying, "I don't feel well," yet they've delayed action, perhaps choosing a new gadget over a wellness check. Traditional medicine excels at acute care—like the surgeries I've performed—but falters in chronic management, where preventive investments shine.
Picture this: In our daily grind, we pour hard-earned money into fleeting pleasures—think that daily $5 Starbucks Frappuccino adding up to over $1,800 a year, or the impulse buy of an 8th pair of shoes we barely need, while entertainment claims 4.7% of our budgets compared to health's 8% [3][4]. For a middle-class family on $75,000, it's tempting to drop $800 on concert tickets for a night out, chasing momentary thrills, only to overlook integrative services that could banish chronic pain, restore energy, and transform everyday life into something vibrant and unlocked. But consider those pharmaceutical commercials bombarding us during the ball game or favorite show: they paint pictures of people dancing, flying kites, or boating with clear skin—living their best lives—only to rattle off a laundry list of side effects that could derail everything. They're tapping into our desire for vitality, but pushing drugs with risks, when true wellness often lies in non-traditional paths. It's time for a profound mindset shift: see health not as an expense, but the ultimate investment—the protector of cherished moments like family laughter or career triumphs. By prioritizing it, you're safeguarding a future free from pain's theft, empowering yourself to embrace life's joys fully.
But here's a critical point: even if you have insurance, you're likely underinsured. Our system is fundamentally a "sick care" model, where approximately 90% of the annual $4.1 trillion in healthcare expenditures goes toward managing and treating chronic diseases and mental health conditions, leaving little for prevention and wellness [2][5]. Many valuable interventions—like biohacking for optimizing energy and longevity (including photobiomodulation for whole-body and transcranial applications), regenerative medicine for repairing tissues, or peptide therapies for metabolic support—are deemed "experimental" or non-essential and aren't covered [6][7]. Yes, prescriptions and procedures might be reimbursed, but that doesn't mean they're always in your best interest. I've counseled countless patients that while insurance covers a pill with potential side effects, it often ignores root-cause approaches that could prevent issues altogether. This leaves you responsible for bridging the gap—understanding that although these preventive tools should ideally be covered, they're not, and neglecting them can lead to worsening health and higher long-term costs.
This underinsurance hits middle-class families hardest, as they navigate rising premiums (averaging $26,993 for employer-sponsored family plans in 2025) while facing gaps in coverage for holistic care [8]. For instance, a family might pay thousands in deductibles for traditional treatments, yet out-of-pocket costs for affordable biohacking tools—like wearable trackers or basic photobiomodulation sessions—aren't reimbursed. The result? People feel "covered" but miss out on options that could prevent chronic fatigue or early disease progression. By directing attention to these gaps early, we recognize the direct link between small investments now and avoiding larger crises later, fostering a sense of urgency to act.
Why We Neglect Health: The Psychology of Spending and Systemic Flaws
From my consultations, patients from middle-class backgrounds—teachers, office workers, small business owners—readily spend on everyday material items like streaming subscriptions or dining out but balk at health costs. Why? It's not always finances; it's psychology. Preventive care feels non-urgent when we "feel fine," unlike visible luxuries signaling immediate gratification [9]. As one analysis explains, the brain perceives luxuries as rewarding, while health spending seems abstract until crisis hits [10].
Education plays a role too. Schools teach math and history, but not practical health management [11]. Mental accounting—separating "fun" money from "needs"—exacerbates this; people save for family outings but not wellness. In the U.S., where healthcare is viewed as a right, there's hesitation for out-of-pocket spends, even if beneficial. For middle-class households, this means tough choices: Do you cut back on entertainment to afford a DPC membership, or stick with insurance that covers emergencies but not prevention?
Even more puzzling, many patients I see with significant chronic diseases or who generally feel very poorly are unwilling to invest in their own health, despite detailed scientific explanations and backing for the modalities offered. This is often a psychological decision—they struggle to come to grips with the fact that these effective treatments aren't covered or that they might need to cut back in other areas of life, like entertainment or non-essential purchases. Certainly, we don't want anyone to become destitute by spending on health, but way more often than not, if patients truly prioritize their health and wellness, they can find ways to afford these extremely valuable treatments, perhaps by reallocating from less critical expenses. I've had conversations where patients recognize the logic but hesitate due to ingrained habits or fear of change. Yet, this shortsightedness costs dearly. Chronic diseases drive 90% of health expenses, with obesity alone at $173 billion yearly [1][2]. I've seen patients worsen despite insurance-covered care, prompting my shift to integrative models at Hypercharge Health. We must reframe: investing now prevents future burdens. The ramifications of not taking charge are severe—escalating symptoms, reduced quality of life, and financial strain from unmanaged conditions. By associating health investments with the limited time we have with family or at work, we create a compelling reason to prioritize them, turning potential regret into proactive empowerment.
The American public is increasingly sniffing out what's wrong with the current medical system, with discussions on social media and unfiltered sites highlighting how traditional models are failing us. Posts on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) frequently point out issues such as overprescription, lack of root-cause focus, and poor outcomes for chronic conditions, with users sharing stories of turning to alternatives when Western medicine falls short [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. This awareness is driving a rise in expenditures on cash-pay integrative health modalities and clinics, projected to grow dramatically. The U.S. complementary and alternative medicine market was valued at $34.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 23.9% from 2025 onward, reaching over $200 billion by 2030, fueled by demand for holistic approaches [42][43]. Out-of-pocket spending on practitioners like acupuncturists and massage therapists already totals $14.7 billion annually [44]. As a physician dedicated to integrative health and wellness, it's one of my top priorities and missions to help people understand how valuable these tools are and how critical it is to invest in themselves. Not only do I talk the talk, but I walk the walk—many of these modalities offered at our clinics, from photobiomodulation to peptides, are things I've used routinely myself, making a massive impact on my personal life, energy, and longevity.
Moreover, traditional medicine's focus on prescriptions contributes to this problem. While these drugs have saved millions of lives, they're extremely overused today, often with a litany of side effects. Those pharmaceutical commercials we see constantly—showing people living their best lives, dancing or boating happily—promise vitality but then list endless risks, underscoring how traditional routes with meds and procedures may not serve patients' best interests. For physical ailments, studies highlight overprescription in classes like opioids for chronic pain (long-term use increased to 79% by 2013-2014, linked to 17,087 deaths in 2016), proton pump inhibitors for indigestion (60% used over a year, risking fractures and infections), levothyroxine for subclinical hypothyroidism (prevalence 5%, but 58-62% cases resolve naturally), and antidepressants for subsyndromal depression (27% used 10+ years, with risks like weight gain and diabetes) [12]. Overall, polypharmacy affects 15% of adults, rising to 41% in those 65+, increasing adverse reactions fivefold for 10+ drugs [12].
In mental health, overprescription is equally concerning. Antipsychotic use in youth has surged 50-200% over two decades, often for non-psychotic conditions like ADHD or depression, with polypharmacy common in vulnerable groups like foster care youth [13]. Another analysis argues that overuse creates neurobiological changes, worsening long-term outcomes—antidepressants may exacerbate depression over time, and antipsychotics cause brain damage and early death [14]. These meds suppress symptoms but hinder recovery, turning transient issues into chronic ones. In my experience, patients on multiple psychotropics often face withdrawal misdiagnosed as relapse, perpetuating the cycle. For middle-class families, this means relying on covered meds that might not address root causes, while affordable alternatives like mindfulness programs or photobiomodulation go unexplored.
Table 1: U.S. Consumer Spending Comparison (2023 Averages):
Health Care
Share of Expenditures (%): 8.0
Average Annual Amount (Household): ~$5,000 (varies by age)
Entertainment
Share of Expenditures (%): 4.7
Average Annual Amount (Household): ~$3,000
Personal Insurance/Pensions
Share of Expenditures (%): 9.0
Average Annual Amount (Household): ~$6,000
Food
Share of Expenditures (%): 12.0
Average Annual Amount (Household): ~$8,000
(Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditures 2023 [4].)
This imbalance highlights priorities; reallocating even 1-2% to health could yield massive gains, especially since insurance gaps leave preventive care uncovered. By building trust through real stories of transformation, we see how these choices lead directly to better outcomes for ourselves and our loved ones.
The Insurance Gap: Beyond Traditional Coverage—Why You're Likely Underinsured
U.S. health insurance premiums for families average $26,993 in 2025, yet coverage often excludes holistic options [8]. As I've discussed with patients from middle-class backgrounds, unsubsidized ACA plans can hit $50,000 with deductibles, leaving many underinsured [15]. Beneficial therapies like biohacking (wearables, genetic testing, photobiomodulation for whole-body inflammation reduction and transcranial for cognitive enhancement), regenerative medicine (stem cells for tissue repair), and peptide therapy (for metabolism, immunity) are rarely covered, deemed "experimental" [6][7].
Biohacking enhances longevity by reducing oxidative stress and preventing diseases, with photobiomodulation using light to stimulate cellular repair and boost brain function [16]. Regenerative medicine repairs chronic issues like osteoarthritis, improving mobility without surgery [17]. Peptides support regeneration and anti-aging, but insurance focuses on acute care [18]. Importantly, these aren't just for the wealthy; at Hypercharge, basic biohacking consultations are complementary—free 30-45 minute sessions where we discuss options, scientific backing, and how they fit your life. Peptide management and targeted regenerative options like PRP injections are accessible if prioritized over non-essentials. We also incorporate innovative tools like the Neuro 20 suit in protocols, which uses electrical stimulation to enhance neuroplasticity, muscle recovery, and overall wellness, making it a game-changer for chronic conditions.
This gap fuels alternatives: Direct primary care (DPC) for personalized care, integrative clinics growing to $200 billion by 2030 [19][20]. Employers drop coverage due to costs (56% of small firms offer it), pushing self-investment [8]. You're underinsured if your plan covers a risky prescription but not preventive tools that could avoid it. It's your responsibility to invest, as the system prioritizes sick care over wellness. However, if your employer offers Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), contribute to them—these can be used tax-free for health and wellness modalities like biohacking, regenerative medicine, and peptides, making them even more accessible for middle-class families.
To illustrate affordability, consider that many Americans have access to HSAs/FSAs, allowing pre-tax savings for qualified expenses [21]. Even without, middle-class patients at my clinics often find entry-level options—like photobiomodulation sessions or Neuro 20 protocols—transformative. The key is deciding to redirect funds; sharing stories of patients who did creates a sense of community, showing it's possible and worthwhile.
Calculating the ROI: Health Investments Pay Dividends in Spades
Think like a CEO: What’s the return? Preventive programs yield $5.60 per $1 invested, saving billions [22]. Workplace interventions show positive ROI in 56.5% of cases, reducing absenteeism and costs [23]. Diabetes prevention saves $2,650 per enrollee; tobacco programs up to 1900% ROI [22][24].
Personally, middle-class patients investing in integrative care report better productivity—potentially earning promotions worth thousands more annually. For someone earning $60,000, improving chronic fatigue could mean a 10% productivity boost, equating to $6,000 in value [25]. Emotionally, feeling well means being present for family, worth more than any luxury. If you improve chronic fatigue or disease, the value extends to monetary gains like job advancements or increased output, far outweighing costs. As Forbes advises, use diagnostics for early detection, shifting to proactive health [26]. These investments pay off in spades—better quality of life, prevented illnesses, and economic productivity, especially for middle-class families where every dollar counts.
Table 2: Examples of Preventive Health ROI:
Diabetes Prevention
ROI/Benefit: $2,650 saved/enrollee

Workplace Psychosocial
ROI/Benefit: Positive in 56% studies
Source Example: Systematic Review [23]
Syringe Access
ROI/Benefit: $6.38–$7.58 per $1
Source Example: HIV Prevention [22]
Expanding on this, consider a middle-class scenario: Investing in biohacking tools like photobiomodulation tracks inflammation and cognitive health, leading to lifestyle tweaks that prevent burnout. Studies show such tools reduce healthcare visits by 20–30%, saving significantly yearly [27]. Peptides boost energy for better work performance—potentially a raise. Regenerative options like PRP for joint pain avoid costly surgeries [28]. The Neuro 20 suit, integrated in our protocols, enhances recovery, yielding long-term savings. By linking these to the scarcity of good health days, the ROI feels immediate and vital.
For upper-middle-class or wealthier patients, higher-end services amplify this, but the principle holds: affordability scales. Entry-level regenerative is feasible if reallocated from entertainment budgets averaging $3,000/year [4].
Real-Life Stories: From Neglect to Empowerment
One middle-class patient, a teacher earning $55,000, spent on family outings but ignored persistent fatigue until it affected her job. Investing a few thousand dollars in biohacking and peptides at Hypercharge, she regained energy, securing a promotion worth $5,000 more annually. Another, an office worker in the upper-middle class, chose regenerative therapy over a luxury vacation—now pain-free, more present with his kids.
These stories create a sense of shared journey, showing how patients from diverse backgrounds—middle-class to wealthy—experience similar transformations. In mental health, overprescription leads to risks like metabolic changes [13]. By investing in alternatives like photobiomodulation or Neuro 20 protocols, we avoid these traps, with middle-class patients often finding them more effective than covered meds—far better than the "best life" promised in pharma ads, without the side effect roulette.
Practical Steps to Become Your Health CEO
Becoming the CEO of your health means taking executive control: assessing needs, building a team, allocating resources, and monitoring progress. This isn't about overwhelming changes but strategic decisions that align with your life, whether you're middle-class managing a tight budget or upper-middle-class with more flexibility. Here's a robust guide to get started:
Assess Your Portfolio: Start by evaluating your current health status like a business audit. Track key metrics—weight, energy levels, sleep quality, stress, and any persistent symptoms. Use simple tools like journals, free apps, or at-home tests to gather data. Schedule a complementary discovery consult at Hypercharge Health—a free 30-45 minute session where we discuss your concerns, explore options like biohacking or regenerative medicine, and review the scientific evidence behind them. This primes you to see gaps early, setting the stage for informed decisions. Recognize if you're underinsured and identify areas where preventive care could prevent escalation.
Build Your Team: As CEO, you don't do everything alone—you hire specialists to manage departments. Think of your health as a company with buckets like reproductive health, nutrition, mental wellness, and musculoskeletal care. For example, as a woman, employ an OBGYN to oversee that area; hire a nutritionist for dietary guidance; or bring on a functional medicine expert for integrative approaches. At Hypercharge, we act as a key advisor, incorporating tools like the Neuro 20 suit for neuro-muscular optimization or photobiomodulation for brain health. Feel free to hire and fire based on value—who provides the best options for true healing and wellness? Build trust with providers who listen and empower you, creating a unified team focused on your goals. If your employer offers HSAs or FSAs, contribute to them—these allow tax-free spending on modalities like peptides or regenerative therapies, making team-building more accessible.
Allocate Resources: Direct your time and money strategically. Prioritize high-impact areas: Dedicate time to consistent habits like balanced eating or movement, and invest in uncovered modalities that address root causes. For biohacking, incorporate photobiomodulation to enhance cellular function; for recovery, explore the Neuro 20 suit in tailored protocols. Reallocate from non-essentials—perhaps fewer outings—to fund what truly matters. HSAs/FSAs make this easier, covering wellness expenses tax-free.
Commit Time: Consistency is key. Dedicate daily slots for self-care—walks, meditation, or sleep routines. Avoid overreliance on quick fixes like prescriptions; instead, integrate sustainable practices. Discuss deprescribing with your team to minimize side effects from overmedication.
Advocate: Be proactive in your care. Question treatments, seek second opinions, and push for wellness-focused options. Understand the sick care bias and advocate for preventive tools, building a narrative where your health decisions lead directly to better family and work life.
Monitor Progress: Review like quarterly reports. Track improvements in energy, pain, or productivity with journals or apps. Adjust your team or strategies as needed—fire underperformers, hire specialists for emerging needs. Regular check-ins, like follow-ups at Hypercharge, ensure alignment.
This framework empowers you, regardless of income. Middle-class patients often start with complementary consults, building from there; wealthier ones scale up, but the core is the same: strategic investment yields unity in your life.
Invest Now for a Richer Life
As someone who's seen suffering up close across income levels, I urge: Become your health CEO. Despite insurance, you're often underinsured for prevention—the key to avoiding the sick care trap and overmedication's downsides. Non-traditional modalities are affordable for many middle-class families if prioritized. The returns—in vitality, relationships, productivity—are immeasurable and pay off in spades. Don't wait for crisis; invest today. Your future self—and family—will thank you. By focusing on these shared priorities, you're set for a healthier, more fulfilling path.
