1443. How to Live Healthier Without Obsessing Over Health
Host Dave Asprey sits down with Miranda Kerr, founder of KORA Organics, to explore clean living, stress, sleep, skincare, meditation, parenting, and why her approach to health has become simpler over time. Miranda shares how her mother’s cancer diagnosis when she was 16 changed the way her family thought about everyday ingredients and helped spark her lifelong interest in organic living, holistic health, and reducing unnecessary exposures. She explains why, after years of experimenting with different wellness practices, she has come back to the fundamentals: morning sunlight, quality food, meditation, sleep, breathwork, meaningful relationships, and time with family. Dave and Miranda also discuss raising healthy kids without creating fear around food, navigating different health priorities within a relationship, and why acceptance matters when you cannot control another person’s choices. The conversation also covers certified organic skincare, plant-based retinol alternatives, non-nano zinc sunscreen, essential oils, rose quartz, intention, stress management, circadian health, and why constantly chasing the newest wellness tool can become counterproductive. Essential listening for anyone interested in clean living, stress reduction, sleep, meditation, healthy parenting, skincare, organic beauty, biohacking, and building a wellness routine that supports your life instead of taking it over.
