This week’s Millennial Master is Dr Anmol Kapoor, cardiologist, founder, and the man on a mission to help you become the CEO of your own health.
Anmol started as a heart doctor in Canada and quickly realised the system is built to manage disease late, not protect people early. His patients were doing “everything right” and still ending up with heart failure, repeat heart attacks, and no real answers.
That frustration pushed him out of the clinic and into building: genomics companies, AI diagnostics, triage tools, longevity products, and even military-grade performance testing for “superhuman” endurance.
In this episode, we get into what most people get wrong about prevention, why owning your genetic data could become a real financial asset, how AI is already transforming diagnostics behind the scenes, and the uncomfortable reality that modern healthcare is still mostly “disease care”.
If you’re a founder who wants to perform at a high level for decades, not just through the next funding round, this one will probably change how you think about your body, your data, and your future.

Takeaways from Anmol’s episode
1️⃣ You have more control over your health than you think
Most people enter the healthcare system too late. Anmol’s core message is simple: prevention only works if you take ownership early. Data puts you in the driving seat before symptoms show up.
2️⃣ Your DNA is an asset, not a file
Genetic data holds financial, medical and generational value. Anmol explains why individuals should hold their own genome, decide how it’s used and control who profits from it.
3️⃣ Early sequencing changes entire lifetimes
Whole-genome sequencing at birth can detect risks, guide treatment and avoid years of trial-and-error medicine. The earlier you test, the more leverage you have over future decisions.
4️⃣ AI is fixing the blind spots in healthcare
Doctors are drowning in data. AI cuts through noise, surfaces what matters and reduces time-to-diagnosis from months to minutes. It won’t replace clinicians but it upgrades their judgment.
5️⃣ Founders need to treat health like runway
Seven hours of sleep, circadian rhythm, diet, biomarkers. High performers burn out because they optimise work, not their biology. Anmol’s blunt advice: longevity is a strategy, not a luxury.
