Mag Sorc Build

LBW

Newish player trying to figure out my build playing Dark Elf Mag Sorc CP293, having lots of problems.
My main question atm is regarding Health. I know my gear is not great as so far I've only been leveling. I look at what seems a good site alcasthq.com/eso-race-guide-elder-scrolls-online/#content2, on there I see a shot of his stats with a max Health of 20642, I look at my health and it's 12629 which is useless, I even have 5 Attribute points put into health whereas Alcast has none. Looking at his gear options I see none that contributes health, no health enchants mentioned, so where is all that health coming from? Or perhaps, what am I doing wrong for mine to be so low?

He has a food buff depending on build a max health/mag food

Like @RebornV3x said, he is getting almost 6K health from food. But you can play around with it depending on gear you run. I've run a petsorc based off of Alcast's build and I've put 10 points into my health with that one as I get a TON of magicka from everything else in the build. Just wanted to get my health to 22K with food for more survivability against some one-shots.

It's your CP!
You get a boost in stats by x% with the help of CP.

My magsorc also has around 12k health naked with all 64 attributes in magicka. That gets buffed up into my comfort zone (18-20k) or so from the following:

810CP.
Wearing 5 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy piece of armor for the Undaunted Mettle passive.
Blue health + mag food (savory).
Health boost from having a summoned pet (Daedric Summoning passive).
Perhaps 1 boost to health from a set bonus or possibly enchanting one large piece of armor with health.
