Michael Robertson is helping to lead one of the most forward-thinking wellness projects in the country. Based in Los Angeles, Love.Life is a 45,000 square foot facility that combines modern medicine, ancient healing traditions, and cutting-edge recovery tools into a single, cohesive experience. At its core, Love.Life isn’t just about individual modalities—it’s about creating a lifestyle built around health and longevity. From functional medicine doctors to saunas, cryotherapy, infrared, and even pickleball, the space encourages people to build consistency in their self-care—while being surrounded by a supportive community.

In this episode, Christian and Michael unpack the cultural mindset shift required to prioritize health before something goes wrong. Most people, as Michael shares, don’t begin investing in their well-being until something breaks. That reactive model is what Love.Life is trying to change—by giving people access to deep diagnostics, personalized care plans, and tools that help maintain health, performance, and vitality for decades to come. Michael emphasizes that true wellness isn’t about a one-time fix; it’s about sustainable practices supported by measurable outcomes.

What makes Love.Life particularly unique is the integration of everything in one location. Instead of traveling all over Los Angeles to visit separate facilities for fitness, recovery, diagnostics, and therapy, members at Love.Life can do it all in one visit. That level of accessibility helps remove friction and increases consistency—two key ingredients to success when it comes to health. More than just a wellness club, Love.Life serves as a hub for connection, education, and accountability, which Michael describes as essential for creating lasting habits.

For those interested in exploring their own health on a deeper level—and unlocking the potential of their body’s innate repair system—Michael encourages people to come experience it firsthand. With short-term and day-pass options available, it's easy to get a taste of what the Love.Life experience truly feels like. Whether you're biohacking, recovering, optimizing, or simply curious, Love.Life is building the kind of space where proactive wellness becomes a natural, daily part of life.
