    Revolutionizing Health & Performance: AI, Data Ownership, and Wealthcare with Brigitte Piniewski, MD

    2026/2/11 | 58 mins.
    I believe AI is going to radically change healthcare. It already is doing so, with patients challenging their family doctor with ChatGPT analysis of their blood work and scans. Or as I experienced  myself recently, working with AI to discover an obscure allergy in a patient that has kept him unwell for years! But Dr. Brigitte Piniewski is outlining an even more radical change to healthcare - decentralizing health data, owning your health data and benefiting from that data both collectively in our billions as well as individually.

    Brigitte Piniewski is a physician, author, and former healthcare executive at the forefront of AI, Web3, and the transformation of health intelligence. With a career spanning medicine, research, and emerging technologies, she is a leading voice on how AI can move multiple industries forward—provided we overcome the critical limitations of current approaches. As an expert in decentralized AI and trust-based data ecosystems, Dr. Piniewski advocates for aligning AI with humanity by securing access to trusted ground truths—the key to ensuring AI model accuracy and sustainability over time. With a unique blend of clinical expertise, executive leadership, and deep-tech fluency, Dr. Piniewski is shaping the future of AI-driven health intelligence—one where technology serves not just efficiency, but accuracy, equity, and our next wealth inflection. Her seminal book, “Wealthcare: Demystifying Web3 and the Rise of Personal Data Economies”, also available as an NFT, is an essential guide for anyone aiming to spearhead innovations in healthcare.

    Pillar by Pillar Masterclass Series: Hack Your Habitat for Superhuman Wins – Why Environment is the Hidden Foundation for Bulletproof Health, Ultimate Balance, and Explosive Performance

    2026/1/21 | 35 mins.
    Closing in on 300 episodes of The Made To Thrive Show, it’s been an enriching and empowering  journey for me speaking to global experts and health heroes about their fields of expertise. So in honor of the 300 mark, I have put together a masterclass composed of the best insights for each of Made To Thrive’s 7 Pillars To Thriving: purpose, community, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-quantification, and environment. 

    Thriving - Pillar by Pillar distills the best of those conversations into one powerful series. Each episode is curated to help you not just understand a specific pillar — but how to take action to live it.

    This is Medicine 4.0 in action: preventative, proactive, personalized through data, and performance-enhancing. We believe sustainable health begins with awareness, and education is the foundation that transforms how we become aware of ourselves and the actions and habits that create our life. Only when we understand, can we identify both what’s holding us back as well as the thriving that's possible. 

    At the root of the word doctor is Latin for teacher. Through the Pillar by Pillar series, I hope each episode becomes a lesson about how to see health and wellness differently, and to empower you to take action, one intentional, educated step at a time.
    Environment 
    The spaces we inhabit—from home to workplace—affect our health more than most people realize. Clean air, natural light, and reduced toxic exposures directly influence sleep, stress, and hormonal balance. Optimizing your environment creates a foundation that supports all other pillars, turning your surroundings into allies for thriving.

    Pillar by Pillar Masterclass Series: Master Your Metrics for Superhuman Mastery – How Self-Quantification Unlocks Precision Health, Data-Driven Performance, and Ultimate Vitality

    Self-Quantification 
    Tracking your body and health metrics transforms abstract goals into actionable insights. Data from heart rate, HRV, fasting insulin, or sleep patterns helps you see what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus your energy. Awareness through measurement empowers better decision-making, moving from reactive to proactive health management.
