Health is full of strong claims, conflicting voices, and bold promises. Most people end up overwhelmed and unsure who to trust. Return on Health aims to bring clarity by listening to every side, asking hard questions, and keeping science and common sense at the center. Hosted by Niko Hems and Miguel Medina Stanivukovic, the podcast takes a clear look at longevity, prevention, performance, and the future of health. We invite researchers, founders, clinicians, skeptics, and innovators, then pressure-test their ideas. Some viewpoints will align. Others will clash. That is the point.

    Stanford-Trained MD: Do This to Prevent Chronic Disease

    This episode digs into why midlife health quietly shapes your future more than most people realize - and why the healthcare system is structurally bad at dealing with that phase of life. Together with Stanford-trained MD Ali Zaidi, we talk about what actually changes in your body during midlife, which signals people tend to miss, and where medicine often reacts too late instead of setting the right defaults early on. A grounded conversation about biology, behavior, and why “doing nothing until something breaks” is still the dominant strategy in most health systems.

    What is Return on Health?

    In our first episode, we explain why this podcast exists. We talk about how Miguel and Niko met during their Master’s at NOVA SBE, how endless late-night debates about health, medicine, and broken incentives slowly turned into a shared frustration with the system - and why starting this podcast became the only logical step. We break down what “Return on Health” actually means: why most health decisions optimize for short-term comfort, not long-term outcomes;why good intentions fail when incentives are misaligned;and why prevention, incentives, and system design matter more than hacks and biohacking trends.You’ll get a clear sense of: what we will challenge on this podcastwho this is for (founders, operators, builders, and anyone tired of health content that oversimplifies reality)how we’ll approach topics: data-driven, critical, open to uncertaintywhy we will talk to people we disagree withand why some “promising” health ideas never get good evidence — and what to do with that reality More about Return on Health: https://returnonhealth.de/ Niko: https://www.linkedin.com/in/niko-hems/ https://www.instagram.com/niko_hems https://nikohems.de/ Miguel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miguel-medina-stanivukovic-857b9720b/ https://www.instagram.com/miguelmedinastanivukovic/?hl=en
