Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast: Recent Episodes
Leon The Alchemist: Biohacking, Longevity, Ancestral Health, and Herbal Medicine Geek
Biohacking, ancestral health, herbal medicine, spirituality, longevity, and more. The daily biohacking podcast for biohackers, featuring cutting-edge scientific information related to the mind, body, and soul. Interviews featuring simple and effective biohacks, health science, and knowledge for those wanting to biohack their biology.
This is a rebroadcast of an important episode of Bio Alchemy: The Daily Biohacking Podcast from earlier this year that I wanted to re-share with you all. An all-new episode is coming tomorrow.
Taking a vow of silence: biohacking the mind and relationships by shutting my mouth.
Taking a vow of silence is something that monks and religious figures usually are seen doing, though I decided to take on the challenge by not speaking for 7 days.
I was first introduced to the concept of not speaking for long periods of time via my partner Sorelle, who has to date completed two Vipassana silent 10-day meditations. I haven't as yet taken the plunge, though the idea of not speaking for a prolonged period of time had always interested me.
Recently in Los Angeles, my friend Sunny gave me some insight into his own Vipassana experience, and I was inspired by him to see what would come out of my own journey of not speaking for a while. So within days, I'd shut my mouth, and decided to keep it closed for an entire week.
Although I can't scientifically quantify any data points or quantifiable benefits, I am sharing in this episode some insights into what I learned during my interactions with humans as I took this biohacker's vow of silence, how it's changed me since, and lessons I've taken into my own life.
Do I recommend you take your own vow of silence? Well, not necessarily, as you'll learn in this episode.

A while ago, I heard a quick online soundbite about how different the food we eat today is nutritionally, when compared to the food our grandparents ate. Although there were no sources, the soundbite suggested that if you ate an orange today, you’d need to eat eight of them to get the same nutrition as an orange your grandmother or grandfather ate.
I figured there would be a lot of truth in this. Due to the fact that food today is grown so much faster, and generally picked when not completely ripe, as well as in many cases eaten several weeks after picking, it makes sense that we’re probably not getting as much nutrient value as the food we ate a few generations ago.
However, I wanted to know for sure exactly how much less vitamins, minerals, and nutrient value I’m getting today, when compared to a carrot or lettuce that my Oma may have eaten when she was a girl. And so, for my benefit and that of your ears as well, I decided to dig up some stats.
In this episode of Bio Alchemy: The Daily Biohacking Podcast, I go into some statistics of how deficient our modern food supply is when compared to a generation or two ago. And trust me, the data ain’t good.
You don’t have to be a biohacker to care about the nutrient content in your food. After all, we all eat food, and so we should all care about how nourishing it is to the human body.
Despite all the doom-and-gloom you may hear about in this episode, it’s not all bad news. Fortunately, I’m also sharing three simple tactics on how we can all boost the nutrient content of our food for better overall health.
I hope you enjoyed this episode. Even if it was only to hear how many times I blabbed about the fact that I live in Iceland.

We’ve all heard about juicing for health. But let’s face it, most of the time the health claims around juicing are more often than not seriously inflated.
But not in the case of the biohacking juice that I’m talking about in today’s episode. The topic of which, is beetroot juice.
I’ve been taking a shot or two of beet juice almost every day for a while now, and sometimes as a pre-workout. It’s all down to the way that beet juice has been shown to scientifically boost our body’s production of nitric oxide, which can massively help our brain, muscles, and lungs perform.
For me, it’s usually taken in the morning. The biggest parts of my routine in a day as a biohacker are the things I do in the morning, and beet juice fits in here as a way of getting my brain firing as best it can.
But, on today’s episode of Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast, I’m also covering how it may help with our sexual performance. And although boners are one thing it can help guys with, the ladies among us aren’t being left out either.
I will admit that some of the information discussed in this episode is purely anecdotal, but at this point there’s so much evidence around beet juice as a biohacking tool, that it’s hard to ignore. But in saying that, there’s also a lot in the way of beet juice that’s backed by science, which I’ll talk about also.

Have you ever heard about how you shouldn’t eat raw eggs as they may contain salmonella? Well, that whole health myth may not be as scary as you might think.
As a biohacker, I’m always critical when I hear old wive’s tales, or seemingly hearsay about health. I mean, questioning this stuff is one of the fundamental basics of what I do here when creating episodes for Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast.
Recently, I posted on Instagram a recipe for a protein smoothie, that I drink most days. Although some of the particulars of the biohack ingredients I put in it change, one thing is almost constant: that I put a raw egg in my smoothie.
This prompted a response from one of my followers as to whether I was scared of contracting or dying of salmonella, because of the risk of the bacteria in a raw egg. And although I knew the risk was extremely low, I decided to track down exactly how low, by digging up the statistics of exactly how risky it was.
This episode will show you how risky (or not risky) it actually is to eat a raw egg when it comes to salmonella. And the hint is, you’d have to eat raw eggs for a VERY long time, in order to guarantee your death from one.
But more importantly, this is another episode that focuses on the fact that you shouldn’t always believe what you hear. Or in fact, you shouldn’t be scared of what you hear, just because you’ve heard it a ton of times.
So raw eggs: will I continue to put them in my smoothies as a way to biohack my health? Yeah, probably.

And here we are: after 1.5 years of publishing episodes of Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast, we’ve reached 100 episodes!
This is a pretty big milestone for me. Although we would have reached the centenary of episodes much sooner id I’d continued to publish at the original pace I wanted to, unfortunately that’s not always the way it happens. But as with all things, everything happens as it should.
In this very special episode, I want to share with you all a very special story. And that is, the story of how I biohacked my consciousness with the most profound spiritual experience of my life. And that experience was my first ever meeting with DMT.
DMT is something that’s been used by our human ancestral cultures as a spiritual tool for millennia. In fact, although we know it has been used via many plants such as ayahuasca, we don’t know how far back this stretches into human history.
The earliest record of human psychedelic use dates back to 12,000 years ago, via rock paintings in my home country of Australia. And my own personal psychedelic use stretches back over 20 years, which definitely isn’t as long.
Although I’ve had some transformative experiences in my life as a spiritual biohacker with psilocybin, LSD, and other compounds, nothing could have prepared me with what DMT would show me. Mind blowing is an understatement, and one I’ve tried to express the best I can in this episode.
This episode was written as a story. So I could best describe the experience, and how much DMT impacted me the first time it came into my life, I wrote this episode down, and recited it so it would sound the way I needed it to. Although with many of my episodes I’m reciting from memory to sound more organic, I thought this episode needed something more. It needed the accuracy and poetry I feel when I recall this experience in my mind.
Biohacking is my passion, but uncovering human spirituality is even moreso. And for that reason, I hope you enjoy this very special episode 100.
Much love to you.

And we’re back!
Yeah, yeah, I know my biohacking podcast has been away for a while, though I always knew it’d come back at the right time. Not to sound too much like a hippie, though the Universe always guides us towards the things that we should be doing, and after a bit of a long hiatus, I knew it was time to return.
Today, I’m dropping two episodes of Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking podcast. Today’s episode is episode 99, where I’m going to be talking about how you can biohack your body’s natural innate immune system using the phenomenal Reishi mushroom - sometimes called, the “Mushroom Of Immortality”.
And later today, around an hour after this episode drops, I’ll be sharing with you my 100th episode of the daily biohacking podcast, which is a very special one indeed.
Anyway, as I mentioned, today’s episode is all about the reishi mushroom, which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and is a tool that modern medical science is starting to back up for its hepatoprotective, immune-modulating, and potentially even cancer-fighting properties. Many of which, I’m going to discuss in this episode.
I’ve been taking reishi myself as a biohacker for the best part fo four years (I usually buy my extract from RealMushrooms.com), however recently I started to cultivate my own reishi, and harvested my very first batch only a few days ago. Biohackers and other people alike were so intrigued by the information I put up on my Instagram story, that I figured it definitely warranted a full episode on the topic.
Anyway, I’m stoked to be back. I hope you enjoy this episode of Bio Alchemy, and check out the other episode I’m about to post for the special 100 celebration.
Much love to all of you. Always. And thanks always for supporting me through this journey.

Let's face it; there's a ton of junk science and plain nonsense being peddled on the internet when it comes to health advice. Biohackers like myself are guilty of it, the medical establishment is guilty of it, and normal people getting caught up in health fads are guilty of it.
In my opinion, one of the most vile and BS-filled fads going around today is the celery juice diet/fast, created by a guy named Anthony William. And I'm going to get straight to the point: according to Mr. William, he receives most of his health information by talking to spirits.
I'm not about telling anyone what to do. If you want to talk to spirits, or take information from someone who purports to do that themselves, that's your business. However, it's also my business to uncover the falsehoods and dangerous information being spruiked by people like the "Medical Medium", that are likely going to do nothing when it comes to fixing your health. And in many case, may actually cause you harm.
Although the celery juice diet is one of the focal points of this episode, that's not really what this episode is all about. In reality, it's me using it as an example of how people get easily suckered in to diet trends and fad health information, and how easily it is to uncover the deceit, lies, and misinformation around them.
It's also about critical thinking, and how you can better prepare yourself to take in information in the current world scene. Whether it's from the media, from podcasts like mine, or from people who get their information from the "Spirit Of Compassion", we all need to learn to think better, do our own research, and know when to call total BS on certain health advice.
In this episode, I did mention that I was going to link to a page on Anthony Williams' Medical Medium website, though before publishing I decided against it. I don't want to send link juice and boost the SEO of someone shilling deceit and misinformation on the internet, though I'm sure you'll be able to find it yourself if you really want to.

Your body is a miraculous machine, capable of self-healing, removing toxicity, and taking care of itself to a level we all have trouble comprehending at times. And when it comes to detoxification, and removing damaged material from our bodies, there's likely no process more important than autophagy.
Taken from the Ancient Greek word "autóphagos" which means self-devouring, autophagy is your body's means of removing the junk we all carry around that leads to disease, illness, and a shortening of our lifespan.
Despite what some health gurus and detox-tea-peddling companies would have you believe, your body is always detoxifying itself. Autophagy is always happening. However, unfortunately due to our modern habits of carbohydrate-rich diets and eating to excess, we aren't letting it take place as often as we need it to. And unfortunately, as we live in a world that's becoming more toxic through radiation, polluted air, water, and food, we need autophagy more than ever.
The good news is that autophagy is free, and it's something you can increase as a process your body undertakes more frequently, and at a deeper level. And fortunately for you, I'm going to touch on it in this episode.
As one of the most common questions I get from people on social media is about fasting and why it's good for us, I wanted to create this introduction into autophagy, and why it's the main reason we should be fasting more. However, for you die-hard biohacking aficionados, this episode likely won't be anything new to you - this is very introductory information.
In any case, resources and information can be found below.

Right now, most of are struggling with something we've all come into contact with before, that seems to be on a new level: boredom.
Due to the global lockdowns that are currently in place, many of us are quarantined at home, not going to our jobs, not hanging out with friends, going out in public, or even seeing family. And that's given us a seriously increased awareness of how bored it's possible to be, when we're not able to do the things that normally fill up our time.
However, could being bored be a good thing? Well according to modern research, it's a definite plus for the health of our mind.
Being bored is something that we humans always allowed ourselves to do, though due to modern society stimulating our senses almost without end, many of us have little idea what it's like to be truly bored. But when we're able to harness this state, it's clear that our mind receives an almost automatic biohacking boost.
The two main areas it seems where we see benefit from being bored are in terms of creativity, as well as mental health, both of which I'll go into in this episode.
Unfortunately though, being bored isn't as easy as you may have thought. According to Sandi Mann, the researcher whose research I'll be referring to in this episode, there is a right way and a wrong way to be bored, if you really want to biohack your headspace with this tactic.
I hope you enjoy this mental biohacking episode, and if you haven't yet checked out my brand new YouTube channel, please do that below.

Our comfort zone is the thing that stops us doing hard things, and being happy sitting around and doing nothing, when we know we have tasks that need conquering. But do you have any idea how to expand your comfort zone, to make hard things seem easier?
I've spent the best part of a decade and a half on my human optimisation practice, trying to upgrade and enhance myself as a human being. It hasn't always been easy, though one thing I can count on, is that real improvement comes from doing those things that aren't easy.
Your comfort zone is like a muscle. The more you work that muscle, the stronger it gets, and the more that tasks that once seemed difficult, stressful, or anxiety-inducing, seem much easier than they once did.
In this episode, I discuss some of my personal stories and challenges when it has come to overcoming things I'd once put in the "too hard" basket, that became easier with time and practice. And also, a small daily habit that's become a part of my morning routine, that forces me to confront my comfort zone each and every day.
I also have a personal challenge for you that you can start now, that will assist you in overcoming small fears, and expanding upon what is currently outside your comfort zone, that you can bring within it. Listen to the end of the episode for this simple challenge, that I promise will be more effective than it seems at first listen.
And if you missed the news yesterday, please subscribe to my new YouTube channel. Link can be found below.
I hope you enjoy this episode on how to biohack your comfort zone.

I finally did it. After five or six years of wanting to take this leap, I've started a YouTube channel.
FIND IT HERE: http://bit.ly/lta-youtube
Today's episode is a short announcement, though one that's super important. Well, at least to me and my own ego.
If you love what I create on this podcast, I hope you'll love the continuation fo my spirituality, human optimisation, biohacking, and similar content on the new channel I've just created. The minimalist in me is taking over and thinks that's about all that needs to be said on the matter, so I'll leave it at that.
Oh yeah, please subscribe!

Although this isn't a typical biohacking episode, in the grand scheme of things, it's one of the most important things we could do as a species to biohack our health and wellness: get back to living in harmony with nature.
Last year, I was lucky enough to spend three weeks on the trip of a lifetime with my good friend (and phenomenal photographer) Max Muench, and his company Follow The Tracks. Mongolia had always been high on my list of places to see since I was a teenager, and this was truly the fulfilment of a bucket list item.
I had no idea how transformative the trip would be. Not only because the nature and landscape of Mongolia is fascinating and stunning, but because I was able to spend weeks witnessing the human race truly living in harmony with nature, or at least the closest example I've ever seen of that in my own personal life.
I think now is the perfect time to talk about my experiences in Mongolia, as they reflect the current global situation. Whereas many of us are struggling with food, travel, social, and shopping restrictions, the nomads of Mongolia likely have felt very little impact, because they're not reliant on the same systems that we are.
I this episode, I talk about some of the most eye-opening things I learned during my time in Mongolia, and share with you some insights on how we could possibly use that information to better restructure our society.
If you ever desire to see Mongolia for yourself, I highly recommend you go with Max and his company Follow The Tracks. Links to where you can find all the relevant information can be found below.

I've never been a big fan of the news. For the past decade and a half of my life, I've had a practice in place where I don't watch, consume, to take part in the general world news conversation, which has always allowed me to achieve a certain level of additional positive headspace, creativity, and peace.
However, since the whole coronavirus pandemic has started, I haven't been able to escape the news as much as I have previously. And a big part of this came to me as a realisation that despite the fact my news detox worked very effectively in my early 20's, the way we distribute and consume the news now has changed radically in this time. And as my media detox haven't evolved with it, my practice isn't really as effective as it used to me.
As I publish this episode, I'm at the end of a seven day news detox, that I started during this time of global panic (or awakening) to get me kickstarted back into removing more and more news from my life.
The experiment has so far been profound. I'll let you dive into this episode for all the details, but suffice it to say, I didn't think I could clear up so much mental energy and attain such an increased level of mental freedom, just by detoxing myself from the news for a week.
If you're the kind of person who is serious about levelling-up your mental and emotional space through biohacking, this is definitely an episode for you.

This is not a standard episode of the podcast.
I'm going back to regular publishing, though I didn't want my first episode back to be just more of the same, considering what the world is going through right now with all this Coronavirus stuff.
Over the last few weeks, I've been trying my best not to let it all get to me, rule my life, or throw me down a pit of despair, which I know many people have been struggling with. Because of that, I wanted to share some of my honest insights (with some big disclaimers) as to what I'm learning, how I'm personally dealing with all of this, and some of my thoughts on what you may or may not learn from me.
But as I say in this episode, this is all coming from my perception, my point of view, and through my lens of looking at the world based on how I've personally been programmed.
I hope you learn something from this episode, or some of it resonates with you. As of tomorrow, back to your regularly scheduled biohacking and spirituality programming.

I don't always attain glimpses of profound universal wisdom in my morning meditation. In fact, I don't most of the time. However, this morning I received what I would consider a transmission from the gods and goddesses that I wanted to share in the hope it made sense to some of you.
I've been meditating for almost 15 years now, and it's not always smooth sailing. As a biohacker with a very analytical mind, when I was younger I always thought that once you'd been meditating for a few year, you'd become a master at it. For some reason, I pictured people levitating above pillows, though that might have just been the Star Wars nerd in me that was always wishing "The Force" was real.
Anyway, from time to time I receive downloads from the cosmos, or whatever you want to call them. Sometimes they're pictures, sometimes they're messages, sometimes feelings. And whenever I notice them (which I don't always do), I'm usually able to see some inspiration in them, or a lesson I need to learn.
You'll hear more in this episode, though today's story is in part about the darkness creeping in, and my choice to counteract that with my warrior's golden light that's always with me.
And in case you haven't yet figured it out, this is not a traditional biohacking episode. As promised since the return of the podcast, this is one of many episodes that will be focusing on esoteric wisdom, and my own awakening.

This is a rebroadcast of my most downloaded episode of the Bio Alchemy podcast to date, as well as one of my favourite podcast conversations of all time. And that counts other podcasts besides my own. I hope you enjoy this conversation with a good friend, Chris Storey.
Chris Storey is the founder of Primal Alchemy (http://primalalchemy.co.uk), amongst other titles including biohacker, philosopher, podcaster, ancient wisdom practitioner, and entrepreneur. And although his brand shares a similar name to mine, our organisations aren't officially linked, save for many similar interests and existing in the same industry. We were connected a few months ago by one of my previous podcast guests Blake Bowman, and have since recorded not only this episode, but one for the Red Pill Initiation Hour as well.
Although this episode does fall into the usual field of biohacking, it's something that's a little different than standard episodes, as it centres more on the mind and spirit of humanity, rather than the physical. And although there may be people listening that don't necessarily gravitate towards some of the esoteric concepts discussed in this episode, I know there will be many of you that this information resonates with very specifically. If you're the kind of person who normally discounts the spiritual side of the human experience, I hope this episode changes your mind, as to deny the spirit, is in my opinion denying the most special parts of yourself.
In today's episode, Chris and I discuss a range of topics from internal parasites, detoxification and why most detoxes are in no way effective at all, some fundamental principles of human spirituality, how some people seem to be on a concrete "path" while others aren't, simulation theory and whether or not we may all be living inside a computer, ancient civilisations and how they may connect all of us more than we think, and so much more.
This is a slightly longer episode than normal, though one I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed recording it. There's also a little more swearing in this episode than normal, so be aware if that's something that you're not a huge fan of.

Gwyneth Paltrow is arguably one of the most famous movie stars on the planet, however, she's not really seen on the screen much these days. Instead, a lot of energy is focused on her company Goop, which has turned into a $250 million information distribution and sales powerhouse.
Recently it came to my attention that Paltrow and Goop have just received their own Netflix show, which inspired me to create this episode. I've been critical of what Goop does in the world of health for quite a long time, though for the most part, those views have been kept to myself. In any case, I think I need to share my opinions on the matter, to showcase why I think Goop as a company is dangerous for people's health.
Most of Goop's audience seem to be women, and because of this, women have been the target of a lot of the pseudoscientific nonsense that the company peddles, as I'll share with you in this episode. And it does get scary, with women experiencing serious damage to their bodies for following practices endorsed by Goop. The good news is that the company has been fined almost $150,000 USD for their misleading practices, though I'm sure that's not much of a saving grace to the woman who experienced second-degree burns on her vagina by taking part in a practice that has been endorsed by the company.
Mostly in this episode, I'm using Gwyneth Paltrow as an example of why you should take the health advice you get seriously, and not just believe everything you hear, read, or consume online. And yes, I mean the information you get from this podcast as well. Yes, I'm a biohacker, and yes, I care about the state of my health, but that doesn't mean I always get everything right, or that I'm creating information dedicated to your unique body and biology.
We all need to do better when vetting the information we use to make decisions about our health. But in my opinion, Goop isn't a resource anyone should be using when it comes to accurate health information based on what they've disseminated in the past.

There's no doubt that bluetooth earbuds (especially the white ones made by a very popular computer company) are very desirable right now. You only have to go into any gym or walk down any major suburban street to see someone with a set in their ears. But are they at all damaging to our health?
There's been a lot of debate over the last few years about whether non-ionising radiation like that which is prevalent in bluetooth and WiFi devices is good for us or not. And with bluetooth earbuds becoming so popular and widely distributed, I thought it was time to tackle this topic again on the podcast.
I have spoken about the potential dangers of bluetooth before in a previous episode (linked below), though I was inspired to create another after watching a recent video on YouTube where the VTudio channel compared the radiation being emitted from a microwave oven, and compared it to the latest "Pro" model of white bluetooth earbuds. And although this wasn't a very scientific test, the results were no less scary. They showed that a set of bluetooth earbuds may be frying your brain from the inside, with more than double the non-ionising radiation emitted when compared to putting your head right next to a microwave when cooking something on high.
There's evidence on both sides of the table when it comes to stating whether bluetooth is safe or not, which for me shows that we should be making even more of an effort to discuss this health-related grey area.
In this episode, I cover the video posted on VTudio's channel, what my thoughts on it are, who you should believe when it comes to the topic of damaging non-native EMF (nnEMF), some of the leaders who are saying where the debate lies, and who are the scientists lobbying to have all of us pay more attention to this issue.

Have you ever wanted to work less, but still earn the same amount of money? If you’re a human being, chances are you’ve thought that — we all have. Well the good news is, companies and governments are starting to agree.
Recently, the world media exploded with the news that Finland’s new 34 year-old prime minister Sanna Marin spoke about transitioning the country to a 4 day, 6 hour work week. This ruffled more than a few feathers as it kinds goes against what the common collective wisdom says about how much we need to work in order to be productive members of society and earn a fulltime income, though as you'll hear in this episode, there's a lot of evidence that points to a shorter workweek that'll make us happier, healthier, and more productive human beings.
In this episode, I go into some detail about Marin's plans for Finland's economy and workforce, as well as jumping to the other side of the planet to delve a little into another polarising work culture in Japan, and what that nation has done in terms of testing a shorter workweek for its citizens. You'll also hear about Japan's culture of "karoshi", which is the phenomenon where thousands of people are literally dropping dead at their jobs each year, and why Japanese people are pushed so hard to the point of exhaustion.
I love the content in this episode, as it shows just how far humanity is progressing to understand that us beautiful humans are not designed to live most of our lives in a state of stress and work, and that we're fast transitioning to a new way of living, working, and creating.

Taking a vow of silence is something that monks and religious figures usually are seen doing, though I decided to take on the challenge by not speaking for 7 days. This isn't something I've ever seen a biohacker do or speak about, which made me all the more excited to take up the challenge, and share it with all of you.
I was first introduced to the concept of not speaking for long periods of time via my partner Sorelle, who has to date completed two Vipassana silent 10-day meditations. I haven't as yet taken the plunge, though the idea of not speaking for a prolonged period of time had always interested me. Doing Vipassana is definitely in my future, and hopefully something I put into my calendar for the year 2020.
Recently in Los Angeles, my friend Sunny gave me some insight into his own Vipassana experience, and I was inspired by him to see what would come out of my own journey of not speaking for a while. So within days, I'd shut my mouth, and decided to keep it closed for an entire week.
Although I can't scientifically quantify any data points or quantifiable benefits, I am sharing in this episode some insights into what I learned during my interactions with humans as I took this biohacker's vow of silence, how it's changed me since, and lessons I've taken into my own life.
Do I recommend you take your own vow of silence? Well, not necessarily, as you'll learn in this episode.

I said I'd be gone for a week, though I obviously have a terrible view on keeping time. Here we are six months later, and the podcast is only just coming back. And with that, hurrah!
With all things biohacking, health, spirituality, ancient wisdom, personal challenges, and more, the Bio Alchemy podcast is returning bigger, better, and bolder with new episodes dropping this week.
But why the hell did it take me so long? And what changes are taking place with the return of the podcast? All of that is contained in this very episode, so you'll just have to listen and see!

Skye Chilton is the founder of Real Mushrooms (https://realmushrooms.com/), and a true master of the medicinal side of these incredible organisms.
Skye's father Jeff was the very first guest of the Bio Alchemy podcast way back in February of this year — which isn't that far back when you consider we're now almost 100 episodes in — and Skye expands upon a lot of what Jeff spoke about in that episode, as well as going into detail on new mushroom-related topics.
In this episode, we talk about what percentage of medicinal mushroom products in the West are low quality myceliated grain, why Made In China is a symbol of quality when it comes to most medicinal mushrooms, how mushroom extracts differ in strength and potency, general advice on medicinal mushroom dosage, some of the benefits of Lion's Mane on cognition, why cordyceps is so important to get into your body, using medicinal mushrooms in cooking, and much more.
I've spoken about Real Mushrooms products on the podcast before multiple times, as in my opinion they're the most trusted source in the world for the highest quality medicinal mushroom products, and I highly recommend you check some out for yourself. As always, links to their website where you can get some will be in the shownotes -- and if you only try one type I recommend Lion's Mane, which is something I put in my morning coffee (approximately 1 gram) before blending it, for an incredible nootropic and focus effect on the brain. Definitely something for all of you who find it a struggle to keep your mind on single tasks.
I hope you enjoy this mushroom-fuelled discussion with Skye Chilton of Real Mushrooms, and learn how to use fungi in your daily biohacking practice.

Dr Que Collins is the principal scientist for deuterium depletion therapies at the centre for deuterium depletion, and someone I've been very keen on chatting to for a long time. Today we're chatting about the topic of deuterium -- which is something that's in your body, in the food you're eating, the water you're drinking, and in fact, all around us in the environment. And what's scary as you'll learn in this podcast, deuterium is likely responsible for almost every disease you can imagine that's plaguing today's society.
You've probably never heard about deuterium, though as you'll learn in today's episode, it's likely the root cause of why you don't have enough energy, why you're aging faster than you should, and why you may be at a much higher risk of getting disease than ever before. And you'll also learn how to mitigate it, via the power of biohacking.
In this episode, you'll be enlightened about what deuterium is exactly, the negative effects it can have on the human body, how excess deuterium causes your body to produce less energy through mitrochondrial disfunction, why it leads to early ageing, how to avoid excess deuterium in your food and water, the best ways to rid your body of deuterium, and much more.
Dr Collins has also invited listeners of the Bio Alchemy podcast to take part in a deuterium study, which you can do via the link below.

Another rebroadcast episode, though programming will continue as normal tomorrow! Thanks for all your patience and support.
A legend in the world of superfoods, Darin Olien is known by the moniker "The Superfood Hunter" due to his extensive, phenomenal, and world-changing work in the world of superfoods, and powerful plant compounds. One of the interviews I've been most excited about since starting my journey talking about biohacking on this podcast, Darin's interview is essential for anyone wanting to learn more about superfoods, and cut through the crap when it comes to what is and isn't legit in this extremely hyped up world of healing plants and nutrient-rich foods.
The author of Superlife (https://amzn.to/2F2qA6c), Darin is no stranger to knowing all about what makes the human body tick, and how to effectively change your dietary environment to perform at a level you never thought possible. But it's not all about technological devices and space-age biohacks for Darin, he's all about taking things back to nature, and giving out bodies what they need to survive in a way that mimics our ancestral health.
We talk about superfoods in detail in this episode, including some of the plants Darin has helped bring to the West, though you should pay special attention to when Darin talks about salt — specifically Himalayan pink mineral salt — and how you should be getting more of this into your system, and why it's so important.
I highly recommend you learn more about Darin as he's an interesting character to say the least, and you can connect with him via the links below, and digest more of what he's all about.

Due to a lot of people messaging about this subject, this episode is a rebroadcast of one of the first episodes of the Bio Alchemy podcast. Many of you won't have heard it as yet, so I hope it brings value.
Essential oils are a controversial topic in some circles, due to the fact that they're sometimes peddled by stay-at-home MLM moms, who claim they can heal just about every condition on the planet, or be used as a remedy for absolutely everything. While many of the claims people like this looking to make a quick buck are incorrect, the simple fact is that essential oils can benefit us in many ways, and in some cases, their use is backed by real science.
One such essential oil that I'm going to speak about in this episode is lavender, which has clinical backing showing its effectiveness as an anti-anxiety tool, relaxant, and compound that can not only be used as a sleep aid, but even assist with insomnia, showing the potential power of this natural wellness compound.
To those who are still doubters, and still may be unsure about the effectiveness of lavender oils, or essential oils in general as an effective biohacking tool, I recommend you don't take my word for it and consume some of the published data on the matter, including the studies I've linked below. Though I don't blame you if you still have some reservations when some MLM mom is telling you on Facebook her oils can make you fly.
If you're interested in learning more about essential oils, or want to secure some of your own lavender oil for use as a sleep aid, I always recommend Essential Oil Wizardry (https://bit.ly/2TeXLg7) as a trusted source I back due to their extremely high-quality products, and that the founder Dr. Nick Berry is simply an incredible dude who cares about the products he shares with the world.
Some of the studies I mention in this podcast episode can be found below:
STUDY — "Lavender and the nervous system": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612440/
STUDY — "An olfactory stimulus modifies nighttime sleep...": https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16298774

Bryan Gohl is a biohacker, avid self-experimenter, wellness expert, yoga teacher, and health coach, as well as someone I've been keen to chat to for some time on the Bio Alchemy podcast, simply due to how many aspects of health and human optimisation he has knowledge in.
Also the founder of Red Light Rising (https://redlightrising.co.uk/), Bryan is one of the world's leading experts on infrared and near-infrared therapy, and how it can be integrated into a wellness practice to boost the function of the human body and mind, as well as massively aid in recovery and athletic performance. Almost completely a carnivore in his dietary observations, Bryan discusses how this lifestyle changed his gut health, fixed his joint pain, and changed his overall energy levels. As you all know, the carnivore diet is something I've chatted about in previous episodes of the podcast and something I don't necessarily completely agree with, though Bryan will enlighten you on how it's personally aided him in many aspects of his life.
In this episode, we discuss why natural light is so important for overall human health, how our ancestors used natural light and built their day around it, how over 1,000 genes are governed by light and vitamin d production, how red light therapy can be beneficial to health, what it can do for your mitochondria, Bryan's experiences on the carnivore diet, some of his daily biohacking practices, and much more.

Roy Krebs is the co-founder of Natural Stacks (https://www.naturalstacks.com/), a producer of what are in my opinion, some of the worlds most effective nootropic products. And in case you aren't aware, or haven't listened to previous episodes of the podcast, nootropics is just a fancy term for compounds that can help you perform better cognitively, that some people more commonly refer to as smart drugs. I don't care what you call them, they just help give your brain more thinking juice.
Now despite the fact I do interview people on this podcast in relation to companies or products they're associated with, I always try my best to ensure episodes don't sound like infomercials. For me, the knowledge people like Roy have to offer to you — my listeners — is vastly more important than just someone pitching a product. However in this case, I did fanboy a little on the combination of a couple of products of Natural Stacks I've used in the past in this episode, but I want you to all know that this is just my honest opinion. And again, not to sound like a dickhead in an infomercial, but I really do believe in what Natural Stacks does, as well as the effectiveness of the products they produce.
In this episode, we discuss some of the shadier practices of some companies in the supplement industry, including how some supplement companies are literally putting peanuts in their products, how Natural Stacks tests all their products for quality, how smart drugs induce the novelty effect to help you focus, what Natural Stacks product combination I'm totally fanboying on at the moment, how neurotransmitters control how you feel, upcoming research on brain performance, and much more.
If you'd also like to try any of Natural Stacks products, there is a discount link below to claim 20% off your first purchase. I especially recommend you check out the combination of CILTEP and dopamine brain food, which is the tasty brain boosting combo I've been using of late.

Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of Blublox (https://blublox.com/), a company that creates the world's most effective blue and green light blocking eyewear. Originally from the UK, Andy made the move to my sun-soaked home country of Australia around eight years ago, and it was here that he founded Blublox, after testing a ton of blue light blocking glasses that were already on the market, that he found just weren't effective.
Andy is one of the most knowledgeable dudes I've ever spoken to when it comes to the topic of healthy light exposure and how that relates to our circadian health, and if light is still something you don't prioritise when it comes to your own personal daily routine, this episode is likely to get you to change that. And if not, at least it'll hopefully scare you into using your smartphone a little less in the late hours of the day.
In this episode, Andy and I will talk about how light controls your circadian rhythm, why your phone and other devices are screwing with your body clock, the links between blue light exposure and cancer, some info on your sleep hormone melatonin and why it's more than you may have been lead to believe, why athletes are more susceptible to damage from blue light exposure, what phase shifting is and how it effects your energy levels, how to use Blublox in conjunction with beating jetlag, and much more.

James Brown is a proponent of vedic meditation, and the founder of Vedic Path Meditation (https://vedicpathmeditation.com), who teaches people from all walks of life the art of this ancient practice. Over the last ten years, James has taught thousands of people how to meditate more effectively around his home city of San Francisco, at conferences around the world, and to employees of some of the world's biggest companies including Salesforce, BitTorrent, and many others.
A student of vedic master Maharishi Vyasananda, James studied this form of medidation for years before sharing it with the world, including an intensive practice in India, high in the Himalayan mountains. And if you've ever been the kind of person to this that meditation is lumped into the "too hard" basket, or that it's always been a chore for you, chances are that James is the man who can turn that viewpoint around.
In this episode, James enlightens us about what vedic meditation is and the how its process works, what a mantra is and how it applies to vedic meditation, how meditation can install the state of flow into your life, how most of us are human doings, when we should be human beings, some tactics that may help you stick to a meditation practice, why binaural beats can be an effective meditation for some, though why they're not the only answer, how to combine certain other practices with meditation, and so much more.

Dr Daniel Chao is a neurotechonology entrepreneur, specialising in wearable devices that can improve the performance of the human brain. Most notable known for founding the company Halo Neuroscience (https://www.haloneuro.com/), a company that produces the Halo Sport, a biohacking device that works by applying a small electric current to the area of he brain that controls movement–putting it into a state of hyperlearning.
The neurostimulation that Halo employs leads the brain to become plastic, which makes it much easier for us to learn how to do new things. This state of neuroplasticity is something I spoke about in a previous episode in depth during my interview with Victor Mifsud the Blind Biohacker, and something Dr Chao will shed much more light on in this episode. But in short, this technology has some incredibly promising applications not just for human performance, but also for healing and rewiring the brain, as well as other parts of the body and nervous system.
In this episode, we talk about what neuroplasticity is and how it can be beneficial for the brain, what the Halo device is and how it can supercharge learning, how your brain actually learns a new skill and why you should learn in the morning, how Halo helps you learn skills up to 50% faster, why it's being used by the military, surgeons, and pilots to improve work performance, how safe getting electrical stimulation of the brain using Halo us, how you can protect your brain from ageing and disease, and much more.
If you like what you hear in this episode and want to get your own Halo to upgrade your learning abilities, Dr Chao has provided a discount code for listeners of this podcast to get the best price possible on the device. When you use the code "BIOALCHEMY" at checkout on the Halo Neuro website, you'll save yourself some money on this epic brain-hacking device.

Tim Gray is a biohacker, avid self-experimenter, and founder of the Health Optimisation Summit, as well as one of the most well-known biohackers that inhabits this ball of rock hurtling through the cosmos we all call home. Tim has spent years testing, evaluating, and measuring thousands of biohacking techniques to improve health, cognition, and overall wellness, and now spends a great deal of his life sharing that information with the world.
Tim's journey into biohacking started from a range of health problems that he decided to take into his own hands and overcome, when a lot of traditional healing avenues seemed to not offer him much help. Many of these issues Tim believes stemmed from mercury poisoning, which is something he will go into some detail into this episode. And after having also discovered the powerful benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Tim opened up his own clinic in London where people can bring the benefits of this technology into their own lives. And if you've never heard of how this technology can aid in overall health and recovery, prepare to have your eyes opened.
In this episode, we talk about how Tim defines biohacking, how mercury poisoning lead him to take control of his own health, how you may be contaminated by mercury and other heavy metals from things like fillings in your teeth as well as fish, why farmed fish is so damaging to human health, how you could potentially have mercury poisoning even if your parents had fillings that contained this metal, what hyperbaric oxygen therapy is and the results Tim has had with it over the years, the most important metrics Tim tracks about his biology and why he no longer tracks as much as he did, some of the weirdest biohacks Tim has subjected himself to, the most important biohacks Tim recommends everyone should focus on, and much more.
As I mentioned, Tim is the founder of the Health Optimisation Summit that's coming up in London this September, so if you can make it or are in the area, I suggest you check it out. There will be some of the biggest biohackers in the world speaking including the father of biohacking Dave Asprey, as well as many others including a personal favourite of mine and previous podcast guest Bob Troia (otherwise known as Quantified Bob), so you should come along if you're able. I'm almost also certain to make it as long as my schedule permits, and I'd love to see some of your faces there if you can make it as well. Full details and tickets can be found at summit.healthoptimisation.com, I hope to see you there.

Dr Aubrey De Grey is one of the world's leading experts in solving the problem of human ageing. A biomedical gerontologist, as well as Chief Science Officer and co-founder of the SENS Research Foundation (https://sens.org/), Dr DeGrey is at the forefront of research in solving diseases and disabilities related to human ageing, that will likely lead to us living much longer and healthier lives in the very near future.
A few years ago, Dr De Grey put forward that the first person to live to be 1,000 years old has already likely been born, and if you're under 40 years of age now and in reasonably good health, you have a good chance of staying young and healthy forever. And while that may sound like science fiction to some, and was controversial in some fields, the fact is that as Dr De Grey will explain in this episode, we don't need to solve ageing tomorrow for this to happen — we only need to extend life by a decade or so with new advances in technology, and keep succeeding in that respect to make this a reality.
In this episode, we discuss what it may take for humanity to live to be 1,000 years old, the kinds of problems we need to solve to achieve this, some of the breakthroughs SENS has been responsible for so far, why we may be only a few years away from some serious breakthroughs in solving the problem of ageing, why extending life won't only be something for the super-rich, some of the consequences of having a population living to be much longer, the things you can do now to extend your life — which may surprise you — and so much more.
I urge all of you to check out the phenomenal work SENS is doing, which you can learn more about via the links below.

Feeling salty? Well unfortunately, it looks like most of us aren't salty enough when it comes to our intake of sodium, despite governments and certain organisations saying we should be eating less of it. But how correct are the current dietary guidelines when it comes to salt? And what are the dangers of not enough of it in the diet? Well, all that and more is coming up in today's episode.
In case you weren’t aware, salt – or sodium – is an extremely important element when it comes to human biology, and without it, you’d be dead. Despite all this, sodium is something that’s received a bad rap over the last few decades, due mostly to how much salt is in the standard diet of those in many developed countries, especially in the United States. But you may be surprised to know that although America is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to recommending to its people to lower salt intake, it's by far not the biggest consumer of sodium. And the countries that are, are much healthier than America is.
In this episode, I talk about the major myths of salt and where they came from, how inaccurate a lot of the current salt dogma is when it comes to its relation to stroke and heart disease, why sodium is so essential for our health, some of the processes salt is responsible for in the human body, why much of our salt contains harmful microplastics, the sources of salt I personally use that are not contaminated, how much salt I generally use on a daily basis, and much more.

Dr Shawn Baker is a medical doctor, orthopaedic surgeon, former soldier, athlete, and world-record holder, Dr Baker is known to many online as the carnivore king, as he's one of the world's leading proponents of the carnivore diet. In case you weren't aware, the carnivore diet is exactly as it sounds, where people who hold this dietary observation eat almost exclusively meat, and basically nothing else.
The carnivore diet is gaining a lot of popularity of late, with a ton of people turning to it for a variety of reasons, though where it's seemed to have the most success is as a potential treatment for a host of autoimmune conditions. But it's also generating a lot of discussion online, as well as criticism, from those who don't believe it can be a completely healthy choice.
In this episode, we discuss why Dr Baker turned to the carnivore diet and what were the major benefits he saw from it, what the current research is saying about being 100% carnivore and why many other people are turning to it, some information that suggests red meat can potentially prevent ageing, what some of the potential adverse side-effects could be, the ethics of being a carnivore and what kinds of meats would be preferable, the potential hazards of low-quality commercial-grade meat, the potential dangers of amyloids in industrially-raised meat, why high cholesterol can actually be beneficial in older people, some of Dr Baker's own health and performance routines that have helped him break world records after the age of 50, and much more.
As I mentioned in yesterday's solo episode, I don't necessarily agree with the carnivore diet in many ways for my own health, though that doesn't mean there aren't people like Dr Baker in this episode who are much more informed than I am on the topic, and who have research to back up why it can be effective in many cases, or why it seems to work extremely well for many people. I do personally eat meat, though meat and other intake of animal products for me is only around 20%-30% of my diet, so I'm a far cry from being a total carnivore, but I'm also a far cry from being a vegan.
But again, I will say that to many people listening, this episode will be somewhat controversial. However, regardless of whether you agree with Dr Baker or not, I'd only ask you to treat his knowledge and experience with as much respect as you'd treat that of any other human. If you disagree, like I do with certain parts of the carnivore diet, that's fine. As I've said many times on this podcast, not every lifestyle choice is for everyone, and everyone is free to do their own research, and make up their own mind. I also recommend you seek out Dr Baker's recent interview on the Joe Rogan podcast, as he shares much more there that I couldn't in this 30 minute episode.

Meat: should we eat it? I do eat meat. And while I'm lucky enough to be in the position to afford the absolute best quality animal products from creatures that have lived natural, healthy, stress-free lives, that doesn't mean I haven't questioned my desires to take myself out of the chain of death, regardless of how long killing animals has been a part of human existence. I've been asked the question many times about my consumption of meat for both ethical and health reasons, but it's the ethics part that's playing the biggest role in this episode.
In advance, this episode of the podcast isn't like any other that's come before, as it's not necessarily only about biohacking your health when it comes to food. And while diet obviously plays a big part in human health, the simple fact is that this is also getting muddied by the fact that there are now ethical concerns when it comes to the consumption of eating animals. And not only just killing animals for food that have lived natural lives, but the fact that many people believe killing in any regard is unethical, and shouldn't be a part of humanity's food system at all.
Regardless of what dietary observation you hold, chances are you're likely not going to agree with something I say in this episode. A part of that may be because I think we're all guilty of death and destruction to a certain degree (and yes, that means you too vegans), but also maybe because I raise some points in this episode that may be confronting to you. Or maybe, it's just because you think I have my facts wrong. All of these reasons are fine, and we don't have to agree. I may very well be wrong, as I don't profess to have all the answers.
But in saying that, I thought it was time for me to bring this issue up, based on my current beliefs, understanding, as well as my desire to let it be known that whatever you observe when it comes to the way you eat, in the end it's your choice. However, it's also important to let it be known that ethics also don't always coincide with what's best for your health, which isn't always the easiest pill to swallow.

Dr Olli Sovijärvi is a medical doctor, biohacker, and leading light in the biohacking community. Olli ditched his career in the standard medical system in Finland after coming to the realisation that the "sick care" system didn't work in many ways, and turned to holistic health and biohacking, in order to learn about and share with the world what people could do to prevent sickness and disease, instead of just treating those conditions once people had them.
Alongside Jaakko Halmetoja and Teemu Arina, Olli is one of the authors of the Biohacker's Handbook (https://biohackingbook.com/), a fantastic manual for those who want to take control of all aspects of their health, and learn what it takes to get the most out of each day by optimising every aspect of their lives imaginable. And when he's not creating kickass manuals for human optimisation, he's also working on projects like the Biohacker Summit, which will be celebrating its 5th anniversary this November in Helsinki, Finland.
In this episode, we talk about why Olli turned his back on the standard healthcare system in Finland, what anti-nutrients are and why they're so important to remove from your foods, how powerful nature can be as a healing tool, how you can start to see healing benefits from being in nature for as little as 10 minutes, what the research is saying about EMF and why Olli believes they're so dangerous, what some of the reasons are as to why the Finnish people are some of the longest-lived and healthiest on the planet, why fats are not bad, some of his daily biohacking practices, and so much more. We also discuss the Finnish concept of sisu, which is a concept I was familiar with, though many of you may not be. And in my error, I forgot to ask Olli to elaborate on it for all of you. In short though, sisu is what the Finns consider their determined spirit and persistence, which he believes is a part of what leads to Finland's healthy population.

Learning is awesome, but learning fast is better. And let's face it, if we can all take shortcuts to allowing our brain to take in more information, and retain that information better, I'm sure we'll all say yes to that. And that's exactly what I'm going to cover in this episode, with a ton of biohacks to better learn languages, that I'm you can implement for almost any skill.
This year, I've challenged myself to learn Czech, which is notorious for being one of the most difficult languages in the world, especially when it comes to European languages. And due to some recently-uncovered family history, I'm likely eligible for citizenship, which means that it's definitely in my interest to not necessarily master the language, but at least become proficient in it. And for that reason, I've created a morning routine protocol that I'll be using to learn Czech, that's designed to spike my brain's learning capacity, and make language learning easier.
In this episode, you'll learn how to set yourself up for optimal learning through sleep, how to increase memory with dream recall, how to use pen and paper to better remember your dreams, how you can learn new skills while you're asleep, a simple biohack to increase your neuroplasticity that involves brushing your teeth, how to block out distractions to increase focus, what the research is saying about binaural beats and learning, using exercise to improve memory, boosting your acetylcholine levels, and much more.

Dr Kristin Comella is the chief science officer for the US Stem Cell clinic, and someone who as you'll hear in this episode, is about to take on the United States government in fighting for the rights of people to use their own stem cells in treatment. And in case you haven't yet heard about the incredible natural healing power your body's stem cells can have on healing almost everything that ails you, prepare to have your mind well-and-truly blown.
Dr. Comella is a world-renowned expert on regenerative medicine with a focus on fat derived stem cells. She was named number 24 on Terrapin’s list of the Top 50 Global Stem Cell Influencers and number 1 on the Academy of Regenerative Practices list of Top 10 Stem Cell Innovators. Most recently, Dr. Comella made the list of Top 50 Functional and Integrative Medical Doctors/Scientists in the country by DrAxe.com, one of the most visited natural health websites in the world. She has more than a dozen peer reviewed publications indexed on Pubmed in the field of regenerative medicine.
In this episode, we discuss how important stem cells are to human health, how quickly you'd be dead without any stem cells (and trust me -- its fast), why stem cells may be the most effective health treatment known to man, why the American government is saying stem cells should be classified as a drug, even though they occur naturally in your body, how stem cells fight against inflammation and aging, where the future lies in this groundbreaking treatment, what common foods and drink should be avoided at all costs if you want to be taking care of your own stem cells, and so much more.
And while I will admit that not everyone listening to this episode will be in a position to afford stem cell therapy at its current costs, you still should listen as Dr Comella discusses how soon it's going to be affordable to everyone, as well as how you can maintain your stem cell health today.

Magnesium is probably not something you think about as a biohacking tool. And you may just see it as a boring mineral, not like some of the super cutting-edge biohacking stuff I've talked about previously on this podcast, or ancient herbal compounds that have scientifically-backed benefits to biohack your biology. Well, prepare to have your mind changed. At least, I hope.
This stuff is incredibly important, however most of us don't have enough. More than half of all people in the USA are deficient, around 50% of Europeans don’t get enough, and around 40% of people in my home country of Australia don’t have adequate amounts coming in to their bodies from diet either. Basically, if you’re a human who lives in the West, there’s about a 50/50 chance that you are not getting enough of this essential mineral for human health – and it’s likely not better anywhere else in the world. And as magnesium is essential for several hundred processes in the human body, there's no doubt you should be getting enough.
In this episode, I talk about the different types of magnesium supplements, some of their effects on the human body, why magnesium is essential for mood and general wellbeing, how to avoid a disaster in your pants when you start taking magnesium, some of the most essential sources of natural magnesium in foods, why it's one of the only actual supplements I take on a daily basis, how magnesium is essential for good sleep, and much more.
As mentioned in the episode, some more information on good sources of magnesium in food, as well as products I use, can be found below.

David Krantz is returning for his second interview on the Bio Alchemy podcast, less than a week after his first appearance to talk about epigenetics, EMF, and more. Though in this episode, our focus is the body's endocannabinoid system, sound healing, and more on genetic variances that make us humans special.
David Krantz is an epigenetics coach, and someone who specialises in boosting cognitive function and helping clients harness their creative and personal power. As a lifelong musician, David sees the various systems of the body as parts of a complex symphony. And, as a coach, he excels at fine-tuning those parts to create resonant harmonious health. David also serves as Director of Psychoacoustics at Apeiron Center in Asheville, NC where he develops sound-based tools for better mood, energy, and focus. Additionally, he’s an expert in the pharmacogenetics of the endocannabinoid system and has developed a proprietary genetic test for looking at individual response to cannabinoids. A biohacker by training and artist by nature, David enjoys working with others who have a deep passion for enjoying life.
In this episode, we discuss what the endocannabinoid system in the human body is, why this newly-discovered system is so incredibly important for our wellbeing and general function, what cannabinoids are and how they may cause you to change, what cannabinoid is extremely important for your mood, how it's not just cannabis that contain these compounds, and that they're also found in extremely common foods like black pepper, what cannabinoid is responsible for your happiness and pain tolerance, how David sees each person's health as an artform, what sound healing is and how you can bring it into your own life, and much more.
You can find out more about David and his work on genes and epigenetics via his website (https://david-krantz.com/), and he also offers a free 30 minute consultation there for those who want to leann more about how epigenetic coaching can help you meet your optimal health goals. And be sure to check out last Wednesday's episode for David's first interview on the podcast.

Mason Taylor is a health educator, tonic herb expert, and the founder of Superfeast.com.au, which is one of the world's most prominent purveyors of potent, wild-crafted medicinal mushrooms & adaptogen herbs, designed to upgrade your body naturally in almost evcery way possible.
An Australian like myself, Mason's extreme love of natural healing products and foraging for his own mushrooms, lead him to create Superfeast in order to share this ancient plant knowledge, and help others living in today's modern world support their immune system, kidney function, sex hormones, and many other aspects of their life using these compounds -- many that have been used traditionally for thousands of years, but now have advanced scientific backing showing their power on the human body.
In this episode we discuss some of the potent ranges of herbal medicine, how tonic herbs can detoxify the body, the healing and immune-supporting properties of several kinds of medicinal mushrooms, details on several unique herbs including He Shou Wu, eucommia bark, and pearl powder, how herbal medicine may aid in extending the lifespan of humans, some natural biohacks for skin health, and right at the end of the episode, what the most potent antioxidant rich plant compound on earth is, and how it can help with wound healing, and to bring out more radiant skin.
We also talk about deer antler, which is a compound taken from the antler of a deer, why it's so powerful, and what it's used for. And as there have been some ethical concerns for the sourcing of deer antler, Mason has asked that I share a video of his visit to the farm where Superfeast source this part of their product link, which I have linked to below.

The brain is arguably the most important organ we have. And like the complex organ it is, there are a ton of neurotransmitters and chemicals in the brain that are required to keep it functioning optimally, and one of those is the focus of today's biohacking episode on keeping your thinking meat running the best it can.
BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is a chemical that’s present in some of the most important areas of your brain, that are responsible for learning, advanced thinking, as well as memory. So based on that alone, you should begin to see its importance. One of the best ways I’ve heard BDNF described is to think of it like a fertilizer for brain cells, that assists them in growing and functioning better. This process of brain or nerve cell growth is called neurogenesis, and it’s something you want happening at optimal levels, if you want to maintain a healthy brain – both now, and more importantly, as you age.
In this episode, I discuss what brain-derived neurotrophic factor (or BDNF) is, the most common maladies that may result from a lack of BDNF in the brain, how BDNF is liked to overall happiness, why less BDNF may likely lead to anxiety and depression, how BDNF can fight off certain brain-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, how to increase your learning capacity via increasing your brain's BDNF, 10 simpe and effective biohacks to boost your BDNF, and much more.
If you care at all about the health of your brain now, in the near future, or later on in life, learning how to biohack your BDNF stores and production is essential. And for that reason, I hope you take the info in this episode to heart.

In this episode, David and I discuss why the genes you were born with don't necessarily control your destiny, how several hundred thousand genes rule what foods are likely beneficial or harmful to you, the diminishing mineral content in most farmed agriculture that people are eating these days, how ancestral emotional trauma can be passed down via epigenetics and be affecting the way you live your life today, why stress and your emotional condition is likely the most important thing you need to fix in your life before having children, the damage of EMF and wireless technology on your body, and much more.
This will be the first in two interviews with David, with a second on the cannabinoid system coming next week, so make sure you stay tuned for that. You can find out more about David and his work on genes and epigenetics via his website (https://david-krantz.com/), and he also offers a free 30 minute consultation there for those who want to leann more about how epigenetic coaching can help you meet your optimal health goals.

Lion's mane is a phenomenal compound that's been used for thousands of years as a tonic herb, especially in China. Though like a lot of other herbal medicines and natural compounds I've discussed on this podcast before, there's now an incredible amount of science pointing to the benefits of lion's mane on human health, which I've decided to dedicate an entire podcast episode to.
While lion's mane has a ton of scientifically-backed effects, from fighting off cancer and disease, to regenerating neural activity, assisting in the growth of the myelin sheath around nerves, and so much more, many biohackers are turning to it for its effects as a nootropic compound, and something to help them perform better cognitively on a daily basis. And it's mostly for this reason — as well as for its brain-defending effects — that I integrate it into my daily practice almost every single day.
In this episode, I talk about the historic use of lion's mane mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine, some of the important compounds within the mushroom that have a benefit to the human body, what some of the neuroregenerative properties of lion's mane and how it affects our brain, how it may assist with the human immune system, its cancer-fighting abilities, what other diseases it may aid in preventing in the human body, the kinds of things you need to look for when it comes to getting a quality lion's mane product, and so much more.
Lion's mane is one of this natural biohacking tools that I wouldn't ever want to be out of my biohacker's toolkit, and one that many others in this industry back as well.

David Tomen is the founder of Nootropics Expert (http://nootropicsexpert.com/) and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to smart drugs, neurotransmitters, and brain health. David's journey into the world of nootropics started when he was diagnosed with adult ADD. After years of buying self-help books, and even suffering depression over his inability to focus, ritalin helped turn his life and career around. But a few short years later, a trip to the ER saw David being tested by neurologists for early-onset Alzheimer's (which fortunately came back negative), though he went on to suffer from chronic fatigue, memory loss, and his business and personal life began to suffer severely. This caused David to dive deep into the world of nootropics, and with a methodically-researched regime of regimen of supplements and lifestyle changes, he had his brain working better than ever before.
David went on to found NootropicsExpert.com, and wrote two books on the subject — Secrets Of The Optimised Brain, and Head First — all with the intent on helping other people transform their lives via understanding their brain better. Through his YouTube channel, website, and books, David presents this cutting-edge research in an easy to digest way, without all the technical jargon that can sometimes get in the way of a broader level of understanding.
In this episode, we discuss how nootropics can be used in your daily life, what neurotransmitters are and how they could be resulting in you not feeling yourself, some of the most powerful herbal compounds for improving your brain and mood, how to protect yourself from cognitive decline later in life, lithium and its effects on mood, and whether ADHD is a bullshit diagnosis that can be more easily treated by taking better care of the brain.
Just in advance of this episode, we do talk about some compounds that may assist in taking the place of things like ADHD medication, as well as anti-depressants, however it's important to note that you should always talk to your doctor before replacing any prescription medication with a supplement or natural product. These should not take the place of anything that you're prescribed, unless your doctor recommends you do so.

Dr Kári Stefánsson is one of the world's most famous and outspoken geneticists. A native of Iceland — a country I call home most of the year — Dr Stefánsson is the founder and CEO of Iceland's deCODE Genetics (https://www.decode.com/), a company that's conducted some of the world's most groundbreaking research into the topic of human genetics, and what makes us tick on the DNA level.
Although you may not have heard of him, Dr Stefánsson is something of a celebrity in Iceland, due to the extensive research he's done on studying the genetics of the Icelandic population, as well as recording and collating genealogical data of Icelandic people and their descendents. It's not well known, but Iceland has some of the best recorded written ancestry data in the world, with many Icelandic citizens able to trace their ancestors all the way back to the settling of the island in the 9th century — over 1,000 years ago.
In this episode, we talk about the field of genetics, how genetic mutations impact our species as a whole, how learning about genetics is advancing modern health science and uncovering potential cures to disease, how your external circumstances can literally change your genes over time, how where in the world you live can have an impact on your genes, and even have consequences on certain genetic mutations you might carry, how the human race may possibly manipulate genes for future generations, and so much more.
Just a warning in advance, this episode is not the typical episode where you're going to learn how to biohack certain aspects of your body or mind. Although there is a lot in this episode to better help you understand your genetics, and how your situation, and external circumstances may impact your health, this is more of an informative episode where you'll hopefully get to understand more about human genetics, and what we're learning about the subject.
Also, I have to tell you all that although this episode is being released as episode number 62 of the Bio Alchemy podcast, this was actually the very first interview I ever recorded, almost six months ago now before I even launched my first episode. And you can tell — my interview style and confidence of speech has definitely improved since then, so you may notice that I'm not as sharp with my words as I am today. So please, be gentle everyone.

Travel is becoming one of those parts of modern life that many people can't escape. And whether it's something you do for pleasure, or something for fun, many people still aren't aware of how much potential damage that could be happening to their biology when they're floating at 35,000ft above the surface of the planet, and what leads to this.
I've been travelling professionally for over a decade, for about the same amount of time as I've been delving deep into biohacking. However, even so, it's only over the last couple of years that more information about how damaging air travel can be to the human body is beginning to surface, and in my opinion, not nearly fast enough. And whether it's increased radiation, additional EMF, or the increased possibility of catching a virus, there's a lot to to be worried about, but also a lot that you can do to protect yourself.
In this episode, I go over the basics of the three main environmental sources of damage to biology during air travel, the kinds of radiation levels you can expect on a modern airliner, how EMF levels on a plane compared to those suggested by government bodies, what molecular hydrogen is and how it can benefit you when it comes to air travel, how activated charcoal can protect you from illness in the air, why creatine is great for helping your body fight against additional stress in the air, what to stack creatine with to get an additional effect, and much more.

Victor Mifsud calls himself the Blind Biohacker, and is my guest on today's episode of the Bio Alchemy podcast. Victor is legally blind, and at one point in his life was told that he was going to lose his sight completely by the age of 30. However, he didn't accept that diagnosis, and through the power of citizen science and his own research, he sought out non-mainstream alternative therapies to heal his eyesight. Not only did his vision not degenerate further, but now at the age of 40, he's regained over 30% of his vision, by learning how to biohack his biology.
Victor also suffered from learning issues from a young age, which he learned to conquer through the emerging science of neuroplasticity — basically, learning how to remap and change the brain, to make it work better than it ever has before. Neuroplasticity is also the focus of Victor's documentary "My Neuroplastic Adventure", where he records his journey of improving his learning skills, as well as bringing himself back from the brink of total blindness, through the power of biohacking and alternative healing practices.
In this episode, we talk about Victor's story and his condition of retinitis pigmentosa, which he was told was going to strip his sight, we talk about neuroplasticity and why this is so powerful in changing the human brain for the better, we also discuss his learning difficulties and how he's overcome them, how he improved his eyesight when doctors told him that was effectively impossible, how not using your eye muscles can lead to atrophy, how junk light and electronic devices are so damaging to our eyesight, how somatic therapy, sound healing, and psychedelics have impacted his life, how the human brain is programmed in early life, how unresolved trauma manifests into disease, how we are being controlled by our subconscious mind, and so much more.
I'm not understating it when I say that this may be the most important episode of my podcast to date, simply because it shows the power of biohacking and citizen science, and what's possible in the health and medical field when people don't accept a general medical diagnosis. Victor's story of being told that he was going to go blind, then defying the odds and improving his vision after being told it would get worse to the point of never seeing again, is the perfect example of why I do what I do and share this podcast with the world. It's to empower each and every one of you with the knowledge that your health is first and foremost in your own hands.
As mentioned in this episode, Victor's documentary "My Neuroplastic Adventure" is available in Canada via the AMI website, and will be showing at Flowfest in Germany on the 6th of July 2019.

We all want to look younger, feel healthier, and have radiant skin. Unfortunately though, in today's modern world, there are more toxins, and environmental factors working against us in terms of our skin health, and looking youthful. And don't even get me started on how food affects your skin health, with processed junk damaging all parts of the human body, leading to accelerated aging, and people looking older beyond their actual chronological age.
Skin is unbelievably important to the human body. It contains photoreceptors which help regulate our hormones depending on the time of day, it acts as a barrier to stop things like hedgehogs and tarantulas from getting inside us, helps regulate our internal temperature, and it protects us from things like dirt, dust, and radiation. You should love your skin – without it, you’d be toast.
But, there's a lot of good news when it comes to skin health. Like any part of your body or health routine, your skin health can be biohacked to keep it more healthy, looking younger, and doing a better job of protecting your body from all those things trying to get inside you and damage everything keeping you alive. And that's exactly what I'm covering in this solo skin biohacking episode of the Bio Alchemy podcast, where you'll learn what to put in, on, and around your body, to best maintain a youthful glow.
In this episode, I talk about the two major building blocks to good skin health, the kinds of things that degrade your body's stores of collagen and elastin, what chemicals are most commonly found in skincare products you need to avoid to take the best care of your skin, why taking oral collagen isn't as amazing as some people think for skin health, what astaxanthin is and how it can assist in rejuvenating your skin, the scientific benefits on shilajit to collagen production, why blackberry leaf extract is being looked at as a natural skin protecting herb, the oil I use on my skin daily to maintain soft skin, and much more.

Sebastian Mireau is the is a lifelong wellness enthusiast, as well as the co-founder and CEO of Clearlight Saunas (https://bit.ly/2VjBPNI), which are basically the biohacker's choice when it comes to infrared saunas due to their state-of-the-art tech, and ultra-lux designs.
Sauna therapy is something that's been popular in the health and wellness fields for a long time, and with good reason. With literally hundreds of studies now pointing to the fact that it can heal the body, as well as maintain overall wellness, it's no wonder that people like those in Finland have been using sauna therapy for literally several thousand years. I personally almost always try and get in at least one sauna per week, though ideally more. And if it's not something that you've ever considered as part of your overall wellness routine, this episode may have you stripping off and heading for the closest sauna near you.
In this episode, we talk about the benefits of infrared saunas on your skin health, recovery, and longevity, what scientific studies are saying about the benefits of sauna in terms of fighting disease as we age through the use of hormetic stress, how to get the best effect of saunas after exercise, how heat shock proteins are built in your body via sauna therapy, the parts of your body that are best exposed to sauna therapy, how Clearlight is changing the game in terms of creating ultra-low EMF and ELF saunas, how sauna therapy aids in weight loss, how to stack the effects of sauna with other beneficial biohacking practices, and so much more.
Just in advance as well, to give you an idea of how much Clearlight actually cares about the quality of saunas being produced worldwide for health reasons, they share their own patented technology with other sauna manufacturers for free, to ensure even their competition are producing the best quality products for you, and the rest of the world. And if that's not the mark of a company who gives a damn, I don't know what is.
And although you don't necessarily have to buy your own sauna to see the benefits, as you can always use on in your gym or local area elsewhere, Clearlight have offered a discount for all the listeners of the Bio Alchemy podcast if you decide that you wanna upgrade your biohacking practice at home with your own IR sauna, As with everything, the link will be below, along with a discount code to save on your purchase.

Joe Cohen is someone I've been following for years online, and is someone I'm thankful to have interviewed for the Bio Alchemy podcast. Joe is the founder and CEO of SelfHacked (https://selfhacked.com/), which in my opinion is one of the most important resources for biohackers online. A phenomenal resource for research materials, informative articles, and just about everything else in between, there's almost nothing you can think of that hasn't been covered in this web-based bible for biohackers.
Joe Cohen says that he won the genetic lottery of bad genes. As a kid, he suffered from inflammation, brain fog, fatigue, digestive problems, anxiety, depression, and other issues that were poorly understood in both conventional and alternative medicine. Frustrated by the lack of good information and tools, Joe decided to embark on a journey of self-experimentation and self-learning to improve his health — an approach that has since become known as “biohacking” as we now know it. With thousands of experiments and pubmed articles under his belt, Joe then founded SelfHacked, the resource that was missing when he needed it. SelfHacked now gets millions of monthly readers. Based on the success that Joe experienced by analyzing his own genetics and lab tests, he went on to develop digital tools such as SelfDecode and LabTestAnalyzer, which have helped over 30,000 people understand how to get healthier from their DNA and labs.
DNA testing is something Joe speaks about extensively in this episode. And what's interesting is that if you ever thought this kind of health tool was out of your reach, you'll likely be very pleasantly surprised -- it's considerably cheaper than you might expect. We also chat in detail about a range of topics, including how Joe healed a plethora of health problems in his own life through biohacking, his results when microdosing LSD and how it makes him 10% happier, one of the natural biohacks involving curcumin that's had a significant effect on his wellbeing, how to lower your risk of overall death, the importance of getting your lab results tested, and so much more.

What if I told you that you could implement a scientifically-backed biohacking ritual into your daily life that's proven to protect your DNA from damage, and that only contains two ingredients you may already have in your kitchen? If you think that definitely sounds too good to be true, you'd be wrong — as that's exactly what I'll be sharing with you in this episode.
You've likely heard that olive oil has some incredible health benefits (that is if it's of high quality), and a recent scientific study showed that by mixing it in a tonic with only one other herbal ingredient that I'll share with you in this episode, it has the effect of supercharging your body's DNA defence system, to protect you from serious oxidative stress, damage due to reactive oxygen species, and general disease.
In this episode, you'll learn why phenolic compounds are so important to get into your body, the effects they can have on fighting disease, what one study is saying about the effects of olive oil and enriched extra virgin olive oil on human biology, how the herb thyme reacts with extra virgin olive oil to hypercharge the effects phenols have on our body, how to choose a high phenol oil for yourself, some markers that may assist you in getting more quality phenols from oil into your system, ensuring the quality of herbs, how to prepare this biohacking tonic, and daily dose to achieve the scientifically-backed results mentioned in this study.
This episode should give you an idea of how simple biohacking can be, and how effective the results are that it can provide if you know some simple secrets to making them work for you. And it's a great example of just because something is simple, it doesn't mean it's not effective, or even powerful.

Chris Storey is my Yoda. Chris is the founder of Primal Alchemy (http://primalalchemy.co.uk), podcaster, philosopher, and all-round "Woke AF" dude, in the most positive sense of the term. Chris' first interview on the Bio Alchemy podcast (episode #38, listen here: https://bit.ly/2HasMJZ) is by far my most downloaded episode to date, and with good reason. His knowledge and wisdom on topics physical, wellbeing, spiritual and esoteric is vast, and Chris has a way of describing some of these complex concepts with such simplicity and grace that seems to make all of you want more. And it's for this reason that Chris is the first guest to return for a second interview on the Bio Alchemy podcast, which I'm very happy to share with you all today.
Be aware that for those of you who want straight biohacking information, this episode isn't one of those. And although Chris and I do touch on a few biohacking concepts in this episode like sun gazing, grounding, cellular energy, mitochondria, and a few others, this is definitely jammed to the brim with more spiritual, soul-nourishing juice, that your brain needs a healthy dose of from time to time.
In this episode, Chris and I discuss the slaying of dragons in life to level up, what the human biological and electrical temple is, how photons and light power the human battery and your mitochondria on a cellular level, harnessing your innate masculine and feminine power, and why men and women need both, ancient mystery religions, sacred geometry, why guys need to stop masturbating in order to conserve your powerful life-force energy, how men and women can cultivate more sexual energy, the frozen music of creation, and so much more.
I highly recommend checking out Chris' especially incredible organic Vitruvian Protein products which, you can check out via the Primal Alchemy website, all links below.

Pine pollen has been a part of my biohacker's toolkit for years, and is an extremely powerful compound when it comes to biohacking a ton of aspects of human biology. From longevity, to protecting cells, increasing mood, maintaining hormone balance, and even making your sex life better, there's almost nothing this herbal remedy seems to not be useful for. And although it's most commonly used by men, women can see some incredible benefits by integrating pine pollen into their routine as well.
Containing hundreds of micronutrients and minerals, a ton of amino acids, being almost a third by weight in protein, and being absolutely packed with androgens, pine pollen truly is a superfood in every sense of the word. And because of that, it counts as being one of my absolute must-have ingredients for helping with many aspects of my life, especially things like testosterone production, and whole-body performance. And while pine pollen has been used for over a thousand years as tonic herb, modern science has begun to unravel exactly what it's doing to our body, and the many ways it could be beneficial.
In this episode, I discuss some of what we know about pine pollen as an anti-aging compound, how it protects our cells from damage, how it extends the life of certain cells in the human body by delaying the onset of senescence, the kinds of testosterone-boosting effects it has on men, some myths about testosterone and why women need it as well, the recommended dosage of pine pollen in men and women, where to get it and why organic isn't necessary when purchasing pine pollen, things to look for when buying pine pollen including whether the product has cracked cell walls, and so much more.
As I mention in this episode I don't actually buy pine pollen from retail sources, as I prefer to import it myself direct from those that harvest it, I have listed some trusted sources of pine pollen below if you choose to buy it yourself. The only reason I don't recommend the direct importation route that I use myself is simply because of the extreme cost due to bulk buying, and the time investment needed to go through the process.

Connor Young is the founder and CEO of Ample Foods (https://amplemeal.com/). Ample Foods is a complete meal replacement product, that caters for those of normal, vegan, and ketogenic dietary observations, with an extremely high-quality product designed to either supplement your current calorie intake, or even replace certain meals altogether. Unlike many other similar products that have come before it, Ample is stands out due to their use of extremely high-quality, expensive, and nourishing ingredients. I'm normally not a fan of meal replacement products like Soylent or others due to the high levels of processed or low-quality ingredients, though Ample is definitely doing things differently in using naturally-sourced and organic ingredients.
This is an interesting episode for those interested in human nutrition, as due to Connor's journey in creating Ample Foods, the company has done extensive research on not only what the human body needs, but delivering it in a way that the absolute maximum amount of nutrient content can be used by your body.
In this episode, Connor and I discuss some of the most important nutritional myths that seem to still be a part of our collective consciousness in society, my fat-phobia in terms of thinking of eating fat as a bad thing needs to end, the role of our three main macronutrients as calories, the potential degradation of nutrients and minerals in the foods you're eating if they have a longer shelf life, and a ton of other juicy and very tasty stuff.Towards the end of the episode, Connor shares some of his most important mental and physical biohacks, including the power of meditation when you decide to learn it properly as a skill, the importance of play to increase endorphins and reduce stress, as well as the one book that changed his life above all in terms of controlling emotions in being able to let go, which I will link in the show notes, alongside all information mentioned in this episode, Ample Foods website, and so on.
Just in advance, you'll have to excuse me for the lower quality of the recording in today's episode -- I had a microphone problem for two episodes I recorded, this being one of them, though I can assure you that I'll be returning to all the usual high-quality stuff you know me for going forward.

Erick Godsey is one of my favourite conversations to date on the Bio Alchemy podcast. Erick has a truly interesting mind, and is unique in his ability to express the journey of psychedelics in a way few people are able to. He's a student of psychology and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and the world. He has a BS in Cognitive psychology and is currently reading Carl Jung's Collected Works.
This episode comes to you courtesy of the fact that one of the most requested topics that I delve deeper into is that of psychedelics, their effects on the brain, and how they can be used to experience heightened or enhanced states of human consciousness. Although it's something I've spoken about in previous episodes with guests like Cami Petyn (Supreme Banana) and Kyle Maynard, it seemed that a lot of you in my listening audience wanted more, hadn't yet delved into this world, or wanted an episode dedicated to a general overview of psychedelics. And I'm very happy that it's Erick that will be taking you on this journey, and expanding your mind on the intrinsic wisdom psychedelics can share with us when we open ourselves up to them in the right way.
In this episode, Erick and I discuss some of the science behind how psychedelics affect our brain, how psychedelics are being used in medicine to treat serious conditions, the death of the ego and how it can help us see the world in a new light, how old stereotypes around psychedelics are fast being destroyed due to the medicinal benefits of these compounds, some recommendations if you've never done a psychedelic, how to deal with a bad trip, and much more.
I highly recommend you check out Erick's podcast The Myths That Make Us which I will link to below, along with Erick's social media handles, and website.

Sean McCormick is one of the most knowledgeable humans I've ever met when it comes to the topic of nootropics, or smart drugs as they're sometimes more commonly known. And as the host of Natural Stacks' Optimal Performance Podcast, it's something you'd definitely expect, as it's Sean's job and passion to dive deep into these topics on a daily basis. The OPP is one of the longest-running biohacking podcasts on the internet, and is one of my go-to podcasts that I use to upgrade my own knowledge on the world of biohacking and beyond. And it's for this reason I'm incredibly thankful to have Sean on the podcast, sharing his wealth of experience on nootropics, and biohacking cognitive performance.
Sean is also a performance coach, who helps clients from around the world up-level in mind, body, spirit and purpose. He's founded floatation therapy centers, coached Hollywood actors, CEOs and professional athletes, but likes to be known for his work in bringing esoteric wisdom into the current day to deepen purpose and elevate consciousness. If Sean's coaching is something you're keen on trying for yourself, he offers a free intro performance-coaching session through his website, which you can find below.
In this episode, Sean and I discuss a multitude of epic topics, including what the Braverman test is and why you may consider it before going down the path of trying nootropics, some of Sean's examples of what nootropics could possibly do for you, some of the smart drugs Sean has liked as well as those that didn't seem to work for him, microdosing and the intelligence of magic mushrooms, why having complete transparency on the nootropics you're buying is critical to understand what's going into your body, and so much more.

When chatting to biohackers, top performers, or any kind of leader in the field of health, wellness, business, sports, or beyond, one thread that seems to link them all is that they almost without fail have a meditation practice. And while meditation has been touted for an incredibly long time for its benefits to the mind, body, and soul, there's one tactic that's fast replacing my meditation practice as the number one thing I absolutely must do each day if I want to be operating at my peak. And that's grounding, or earthing.
In this 50th episode of the Bio Alchemy podcast, I discuss this ridiculously simple biohack that's been a part of my daily practice, and why it's something you should be implementing into your life each and every day without fail, to maintain a level of homeostasis. As I talk about in this short solo episode as well, you'll learn why it's so essential, and why the human race is so strange in our ways of disconnecting ourselves from the planet, when no other species does this.
You'll learn the basic fundamentals of how your body operates as a cellular battery, how we build up a positive static charge throughout our daily life, why this charge needs to be released regularly, what your mitochondria are and why they're essential to your energy production, how simple and effective earthing can be for your health, some of the health issues that can arise from not earthing yourself enough, how earthing can assist with a reduction in cortisol, how to biohack your earthing practice to get more benefit from the time you're spending on it, and so much more.
Thank all of you also for your incredible support on the podcast so far over the last few months, and helping Bio Alchemy to get to 50 episodes. I wouldn't still be here doing this if you all weren't finding value in it, and I look forward to celebrating the next 50, 500, and beyond.

Matt Maruca is the king of light. Well-known in the biohacking world for his intense and deep knowledge on the topic of how natural light is necessary for optimal human life, and how junk light is a leading contributor to illness and disease, Matt has no shortage of chunks of tasty information that need to be implanted deep into your brain. He embodies this as part of his philosophy of sharing as much as he can about the fundamental reasons why the world at large is suffering from an epidemic of chronic disease, with people being at a higher risk than ever before in human history for developing conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, obesity, autoimmunity, and cancer.
Apart from his phenomenal insights on the topic of light Matt is also the founder of Ra Optics (https://raoptics.com/), a company that produces what are in my opinion are the gold standard for blue light blocking glasses. You may have heard me talk about Ra Optics in past episodes of the podcast, due to their function of blocking damaging wavelengths of blue and green light from your eyes, which is important for maintaining your circadian rhythm, and cellular health.
In this episode, Matt and I discuss the fundamental reasons why natural light is so important for your body to produce energy, what can happen if you're not getting enough of it in your life, the damaging effects of artificial blue light, the links between skin cancer and junk light, what sun gazing is and how to benefit from its effects on your overall health, some simple yet effective tactics to biohack your light intake, and so much more.
This could be one of the most important episodes I've shared on the podcast to date, due to how crucial it is for us modern humans to eliminate artificial junk light from our environment, and increase the amount of good, natural sunlight we're getting on our skin, and in our eyes. Also keep an eye out for Matt's upcoming book called The Light Diet, due out sometime later this year.

Vegans catch a lot of flak sometimes in the biohacking world, mostly from those who tend to observe an ancestral type diet, or followers of paleo, keto, or and especially those who abide by the carnivore diet. And while I personally don't believe a vegan diet is the healthiest option for optimal human performance, I also don't believe that a diet that includes standard industrially-farmed meat is either, due to it being filled with hormones, antibiotics, and a ton of other junk.
In saying all that, this episode is not an argument for or against a primarily vegan or vegetarian diet, as it's not my intention in this episode to tackle that. However, this episode has been designed to uncover what the science is saying about the compounds, elements, and minerals that someone observing these lifestyles is likely deficient in, as well as how to biohack these deficiencies to optimise your health to the best of your ability, while avoiding animal-based products as much as you can.
In this episode, I cover the most common things you're likely to be deficient in as a vegan or vegetarian, what some of these deficiencies can lead to in the short and long term, how to get more of compounds like creatine, selenium, and amino acids into your body, how to do this as naturally as possible, how to supplement if you can't find a natural source, some biohacking upgrades to make supplementing more powerful, some statistics on the average deficiencies of some of these compounds in those who observe a meatless diet, and much more.
Again, this episode isn't designed as a tool to try and change your mind or your lifestyle if you observe a plant-based diet, only as a tool to help you get more of the things you're likely missing out of into your life.

Kiki Bosch is one of the most interesting and inspiring humans I've interviewed on the podcast to date, and someone I've been seriously looking forward to interviewing for quite some time. And while we've been working on making this interview happen for around three months now, I'm bringing this episode to you only around 24 hours after it was recorded, due to how stoked I am to get it out to the world.
Kiki is a biohacker, and someone who believes in disturbing the comfort of our lives around us, to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually, which is something she's found that cold shock therapy is a perfect way to do this. One of the few certified Wim Hof Method instructors on the planet, Kiki has mastered the power of the mind and of breath to control her body's reaction to the environment, and brave levels of cold that would put many people in a state of shock, or even potentially kill those who are untrained, or uninitiated.
You may have seen Kiki on the internet before, as she starred in a viral video that showed her swimming in frozen glacial water in Iceland, without anything to keep her warm apart from a swimsuit you'd normally see someone wearing on tropical beached in the Bahamas. I will of course link to this video in the shownotes for you all to see, and it's a perfect example to show what's possible when you learn to control your body, using the power of breath, and your mind.
In this episode, we discuss a multitude of things, including how Kiki overcame emotional trauma using the cold, the science behind why cold therapy is beneficial to the human body, some simple tactics you can use to harness cold therapy in your own home, as well as some of Kiki's own personal biohacking routines. I hope you enjoy the lessons and insights in this episode, as much as I loved recording it.

Bacopa monnieri, otherwise known as brahmi, water hyssop, or just bacopa, is an ancient Ayurvedic herb that's been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, as a powerful cognitive performance enhancer. And while herbalists and healers from the Indian subcontinent have known about its power for almost countless generations, modern science is only now catching up and studying this plant for its phenomenal effects on helping us think better, react faster, and learn more.
As you'll learn in this episode, bacopa can be used for a range of things, from helping you biohack your memory recall, shorten your reaction time, assist in learning new skills, and so much more. And although it's definitely not magic as I've described in the title, there's probably not any herb that we know of that comes as close to having magic-like properties on the human mind as bacopa does. It's one of my go-to herbal supplements, and one I see myself using for a long time to come.
In this episode, I talk about some of bacopa's history, some scientific studies that uncover some of the cognitive performance benefits of the plant in placebo-controlled trials, the kinds of things you can expect when integrating it into your life, what kinds of enhancements of the mind are likely to be seen when taking a reasonable dose, the brain-protecting effects it may have on taking care of your mind now and into old age, how it may be used as a treatment for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and even epilepsy, and so much more.
The two main studies I referenced in this episode can be found below, as well as quality recommended sources of bacopa if you're aiming to seek it out for your own use.

Lopa Van Der Mersch is the founder of Rasa Koffee (https://rasakoffee.com/), the world's first coffee alternative to offer functional benefits through adaptogenic herbs. And while there are many in the biohacking world who are hardcore coffee junkies (myself included) for reasons beyond just the morning pick-me-up effects, there are some who just can't integrate it into their lives.
Not everyone is a fan of coffee. Whether for reasons of sensitivity to caffeine, allergy, an intolerance to coffee on some level, or just because it gives you a serious case of the jitters, there are many reasons you may not be a daily coffee drinker. And although there is always the possibility of turning to tea, for some, tea just doesn't cut it in giving the same nootropic, focus, and energy benefits that coffee provides. Luckily, Rasa Koffee is not only an alternative to standard coffee, but a powerful adaptogen blend that can aid your body in so many ways, beyond just stimulating effects.
In this episode, we discuss the herbal make up of Rasa Koffee, what makes the compounds in it so special, some of the health and healing benefits of these herbs, what adaptogens are and why they're so essential for humans living in a modern society, how adaptogens can extremely effectively beat stress, how they can help your body maintain homeostasis, what eustress is and why your body needs it, sustainability in business and what Rasa Koffee are doing to maintain this, how there are almost always two sides to a story when it comes to any supplement or compound, Lopa's morning tea ceremony practice, and so much more.
For anyone looking to try out Rasa Koffee, Lopa has also offered listeners of the Bio Alchemy podcast a 20% discount by using the code "BIOALCHEMY" when you check out. The link to Rasa Koffee's website

You probably have a cell phone. You likely have a laptop. And if you're like the average human being on the planet, you may end most days staring into a TV. And if you fit any of these criteria, there's a good chance you're doing damage to your physical health due to artificial blue light exposure, possibly increasing your chance of coming down with diseases like cancer, and diabetes.
Unfortunately, artificial blue light damage is everywhere. And in a modern society, it's fundamentally rewiring the way your body operates, and messing up the fundamental homeostasis that you should be operating in all the time. This is quite a new problem however, and something none of our ancestor cultures had to deal, as we've only been suffering because of it for not much over a century.
In this episode, I talk about the shocking statistics related to an increase in cancer in shift workers, some of the jobs that are at the highest risk of circadian disruption, what artificial blue light damage after dark is doing to your biology, how our bodies are designed to work in tune with the sun, what the sunrise and sunset are doing in terms of setting our circadian clock, how circadian disruption is linked to weight, why you may have trouble losing weight if you spend a lot of time in devices after dark, what green light damage is and how dangerous it possibly is, how to ensure your devices aren't damaging you as much with a few mitigating tips, how some simple red lenses could save you from circadian disruption, and much more.
This truly is an episode for everyone who lives in any modern environment, which I would say is every single person listening to this episode.

Cami Nicole Petyn — otherwise known as Supreme Banana — is a Youtuber, social media personality, and all-round entertaining human being who has been putting her life, messages, and content on the digital landscape for around four years now. Among also being a published author, vegan advocate, and seeker of philosophy, Cami has an interest in the biohacking mental and spiritual benefits of psychedelic compounds, which is one of the main topic we're discussing today.
Not long ago, Cami experienced ayahuasca for the first time, attending a 4-day retreat in Costa Rica to sit with this plant medicine teacher. Although I haven't personally yet experienced ayahuasca, I was drawn to interview Cami for three reasons: first, I've experienced DMT (similar to ayahuasca, but smoked), I've had a desire to experiment with ayahuasca for quite some time, and I'm always extremely interested in hearing stories of people's first time with these intense psychedelic compounds.
In this episode, we discuss how to escape the cycle of social media controlling your thoughts and emotions, what is life for an influencer and how unglamorous it can actually be sometimes, information on what ayahuasca is like for a first-time users, how Cami dealt with fours straight days of doing ayahuasca in Costa Rica, set and setting, the difference between a great ayahuasca experience and a not-so-great one, what ego death feels like, Cami's description of "Peach Air" and what that means in terms of an ayahuasca trip, how to know you're ready to experience a psychedelic experience like this, and so much more.
One thing that's extremely important to consider when seeking out ayahuasca, is finding a location, setting, and shaman that will correctly guide you through the experience. Cami and other people I know speak extremely highly of Rhythmia, who Cami also mentions in this episode, which I will link to below.

Sulforaphane (or sulphoraphane if you speak the more civilised British English) is a truly exciting compound that is being shown more and more to have almost miraculous properties in terms of healing, disease-fighting capabilities, and longevity. And if there wasn't so much published science behind it, some may think it's witchcraft. But as biohackers, we don't believe in witchcraft, only data, published scientific papers, and evidence, and sulforaphane has it in spades.
Found in the cruciferous vegetable family, sulforaphane is produced when these plants are crushed, chewed, damaged, or broken, as a defence mechanism to ward off insects. This is good news for us, as there's an extraordinary amount of emerging research on the compound, including its abilities to fight cancer, maintain mental homeostasis, and possibly even extend life by up to 30%.
In today's episode, I'm going to talk in detail about what sulforaphane exactly is, the pathways it acts on in the human body, what the published science is showing about the potential benefits of it, the kinds of foods it is contained in, how to get up to 200 times more sulforaphane into your diet, biohacking the bioavailability of this compound with ground mustard, how it's linked with myrosinase, the best ways to cook cruciferous vegetables to maximise their power, why stressed people may get more benefit from this compound, and so much more.
As promised in this episode, a list of ten of the highest sulforaphane-containing foods are listed below, so you can make it easier on yourself in getting more of it into you life.
TEN HIGHEST SULFORAPHANE FOODS

Broccoli sprouts

Todd White is a biohacker, forward thinker, and one of the owners of Dry Farm Wines (http://dryfarmwines.com), which is the ultimate biohacker's wine, because of it's completely natural composition, without the dozens of nasty additions that most commercially-available wine contains. Wine is full of antioxidants, polyphenols, and a ton of other beneficial compounds, and many say it should be enjoyed as part of a healthy life in moderation.
But how healthy is wine, really? For years we've been told that one glass of wine a day is healthy, and that it can lead to longer life, less disease, and many other factors. And even anecdotally, my 96 year-old grandmother is as healthy as can be, and swears by at least one glass of red wine every day. However, it's very possible that what we've been told since the beginning of food marketing is not just slightly inaccurate, but downright misleading, as in the modern world, most wine contains many things you don't want to be putting into your body.
In this episode, Todd discusses the toxicity of wine, how alcohol is considered a neurotoxin, the "Domino Effect" when it comes to drinking wine, his "Profits Will Follow Peace" motto that drives Dry Farm Wines, how genetically-modified products are making themselves into most commercial wines, what distinguishes a natural wine from one that's not, meditation, glyphosate, resveratrol, and how to integrate a successful morning practice not just into an individual routine, but one of an entire company.
If you're a wine drinker, regardless of how frequent or occasional, this is definitely the episode for you.

Chris Storey is the founder of Primal Alchemy (http://primalalchemy.co.uk), amongst other titles including biohacker, philosopher, podcaster, ancient wisdom practitioner, and entrepreneur. And although his brand shares a similar name to mine, our organisations aren't officially linked, save for many similar interests and existing in the same industry. We were connected a few months ago by one of my previous podcast guests Blake Bowman, and have since recorded not only this episode, but one for the Red Pill Initiation Hour as well.
Although this episode does fall into the usual field of biohacking, it's something that's a little different than standard episodes, as it centres more on the mind and spirit of humanity, rather than the physical. And although there may be people listening that don't necessarily gravitate towards some of the esoteric concepts discussed in this episode, I know there will be many of you that this information resonates with very specifically. If you're the kind of person who normally discounts the spiritual side of the human experience, I hope this episode changes your mind, as to deny the spirit, is in my opinion denying the most special parts of yourself.
In today's episode, Chris and I discuss a range of topics from internal parasites, detoxification and why most detoxes are in no way effective at all, some fundamental principles of human spirituality, how some people seem to be on a concrete "path" while others aren't, simulation theory and whether or not we may all be living inside a computer, ancient civilisations and how they may connect all of us more than we think, and so much more.
This is a slightly longer episode than normal, though one I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed recording it. There's also a little more swearing in this episode than normal, so be aware if that's something that you're not a huge fan of.

Chocolate, seriously? Yes, seriously. To many of you listening, this episode will be a dream come true, as I'm discussing the health benefits, chemistry, nootropic effects, and so much more related to that product almost all of us love, in the form of sweet, nourishing chocolate. But before you get too excited, I'm definitely not speaking about inhaling multiple blocks of sugary dairy-milk crap in a day, it's all about the cacao bean, cocoa, and stuff so dark that it would make the Galactic Empire from Star Wars blush.
Chocolate has been used for thousands of years by ancient cultures as a tool for healing, as well as something modern humans have eaten in large quantities when we've felt sad or bummed, though it hasn't been until recently that we've known scientifically why it's beneficial. And as you'll learn about in this episode, the benefits of chocolate are far from wishful thinking, as there's an incredible amount of science pointing to the fact that it can help us heal, boost brain health, assist our circulation, and so much more.
In today's solo episode, I'm going to talk about why chocolate may help ward off diabetes, how it can potentially stave off brain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, what anandamide is in chocolate and how it's been getting people "high" for millennia, why theobromine in chocolate is both good and bad, how to use chocolate as a nootropic, elevating your mood using chocolate, why you need the magnesium in cacao, how it may aid in sexual performance, and so much more.
There are a ton of resources for you to consume (pun intended) related to this episode which you'll find below, and I'm sure you'll want to digest them (again, pun completely intended) in much more detail. If you're a biohacker, or just a chocolate fiend, this is likely going to be the sweetest podcast episode you've ever heard.

Ariel Garten is the founder of Muse Meditation (http://choosemuse.com/), the brain sensing headband that allows you to practice meditation in a way you may never have before. And unlike software like binaural beats that force you into meditation, Muse is more of a training tool, to allow you to become more skilled at biohacking your meditation practice on your own.
Using an EEG monitor, the Muse device tracks your brainwaves as you meditate, giving you feedback on how well you’re doing by providing music in the background. This type of feedback enables you to not only assist you in becoming more zen-like each time you meditate, but also provides you with a ton of data after the fact, to help you understand what is actually happening when you do meditate.
This interview with Ariel is one of my favourite to date, and is one I’ve been excited to share with you since it was recorded around a month ago.

Creatine: it's not just for athletes, bodybuilders, or those who need to get more out of their workouts. For biohackers, and humans who want to get more out of their body, and feel like they have an abundance of energy, creatine is something that's been used for decades as an almost cure-all fix for fatigue, tiredness, or a lack of energy.
As you'll hear about in this episode, I've been taking creatine almost like clockwork every day for increased energy, and is one of the very few supplements I don't cycle off on the weekends. And that's because unlike almost anything else in my biohacker's toolkit, creatine is extremely effective, safe, and one of the most researched compounds to help our bodies undergo the physical processes we need to function, and to work optimally.
It's all because of adenosine triphosphate, that all-important molecule we more commonly refer to as ATP. Without ATP we'd all be dead, and without enough creatine you don't produce enough ATP, meaning your cells and muscles don't have the basic energy they need to do the thing they need to in order to function properly. And you don't need to be a high-performing athlete to feel the effects of a lacking in ATP, the simple fact is that the vast majority of average humans who don't think too much about their biology or taking care of it, likely don't function on a daily basis producing sufficient ATP.
As you'll hear about in this episode, creatine is something I recommend to just about everyone due to its effectiveness, extreme levels of safety, and the fact that it seems to work on almost everyone to get more results in terms of energy, basically across the board.

Dr William Pawluk is one of the world's foremost experts on Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy or PEMF, which is a modality of healing that despite using a machine to generate the magnetic field, is considered completely natural as it's using a force around us that we've been exposed to since birth. Our planet in itself is one huge magnetic field, and with PEMF technology we're learning to harness a more targeted and localised magnetic field to heal the body on a cellular level.
Dr Pawluk turned his attention to PEMF treatment many decades ago after becoming disillusioned with some of the widely accepted side effects of pain management in the general medical field, which was the mindset of most of this peers. With PEMF, he found something that provided phenomenal natural results with no visible side effects whatsoever in many fields of healing, and made it his mission to educate the planet about what this emerging technology could do for the human body.
In this episode, you'll learn how PEMF technology can be used to heal the human body, how to biohack your circulation using pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, the basics of ATP and why it's essential for human life, some of the conditions that PEMF can be used to treat including inflammation, boosting muscle recovery, warding off cancer using this therapy, slowing the growth of arthritis and arthritic pain using PEMF, how to make PEMF even more effective by combining it with other therapies, and so much more.
If you're interested in learning more, I sincerely recommend you dive deep into Dr Pawluk's website (https://www.drpawluk.com/), which is probably the greatest resource for learning material on the topic of PEMF on the internet.

Dr Nick Berry is the founder of Essential Oil Wizardry (https://bit.ly/2OTjMwb) and one of the most genuine, kind, and warm human beings I've had the pleasure of interviewing on the Bio Alchemy podcast to date. He's someone who truly cares not only about his products and methodologies, but the wellbeing of those he is assisting in improving their lives via the power of natural herbs and essential oils. As a Master Herbalist myself, Dr Nick is someone I've been looking forward to interviewing for quite some time, so this was a treat for me, and I'm sure it will be for you as well.
Dr Nick is a doctor of pharmacy, though someone who has transitioned from the world of pharmaceutical medication, into the world of herbs, powerful plant compounds, natural medicine, and supporting the body's own natural healing with what our planet produces for us in nature. Dr Nick is the perfect embodiment of someone who takes the best from the scientific and ancestral medicine worlds, and if you know anything about me, this is my preferred way of seeking those things that enable us to live longer, stronger, and healthier lives.
In this episode we discuss plant terpenes and why these compounds are so powerful, an incredible story of how Dr Nick fended off a respiratory infection by mega dosing a specific essential oil, the essential oils I tend to use most frequently in my own life, how you can open up your respiratory system by using herbal oils, the synergy of plant compounds and how they can be used to increase the power of others, how distillation can change how certain herbs work, and so much more.
All links to Dr Nick and Essential Oil Wizardry are below, and I especially encourage you to check out Dr Nick's oils, as they're seriously powerful compounds, and a far cry from the low-quality stuff you'll see peddled online by MLM companies.

Acetyl L-Carnitine is a supplement or amino acid that your body produces naturally, though has some phenomenal benefits to the human body. From assisting with focus, task management, cognition, memory retention, blood circulation, and production of the body's master antioxidant glutathione, it does an incredible range of things to keep our bodies and minds in check. And although te
Our bodies tend to use our own endogenous carnitine stores faster than we can produce it, and while you can get a boost of it from meat and dairy products, those foods don't tend to fit into everyone's daily diets, which means that's not always a great solution. And failing that, supplementation is key, which is why I've been supplementing with one gram of ALCAR (one of its many names) for a couple of years now as part of my biohacking routine, to keep my biology in check the best I can.
As I mention in this episode on the benefits, usage, and main reasons for using l-carnitine in your diet, ensure that as always you test the amino acid in terms of dosage, to find what works best for you. Although I personally take one gram a day as I've mentioned, you may find less is more, and need a smaller dose to see beneficial nootropic effects.
The exact product I use can be found below, as well as some interesting studies on carnitine, and some of the potentially incredible benefits of getting an additional boost of this amino acid into your mind and body.

Dr James Eyerman is a pharmacologist and psychotherapist who has decades of treating people's issues of the mind, though he's especially well known as one of the world's foremost experts on holotropic breathwork. A phenomenal modality of treatment that uses nothing more than the changing of the way we breathe to activate our body's own innate healing system, it's something I've been fascinated by for years, and have been very excited to finally share this episode with the world.
Just imagine if there was an all-natural, drug or medicine free, non-invasive, and virtually free method of healing your body and mind of trauma, mental, emotional, and other imbalances and illnesses, that worked in virtually every case to provide relief, and in some cases, a complete cure? That's just a taste of what holotropic breathwork can do, and is rightfully gaining steam in the health, wellness, and biohacking communities for the existing and potential healing benefits that it can offer our species.
Holotropic breathwork isn't some small-batch or experimental treatment that's only being practiced on the fringes, it's being practiced by hundreds of professionals around the world, and is seeing phenomenal results in hundreds of thousands of patients in a clinical setting — in Dr Eyerman's case, he's personally treated over 11,000 people with this modality alone.
For me, holotropic breathwork is an absolutely must-learn-about treatment, as it is completely natural, and doesn't rely on pumping your body and mind full of pharmaceutical drugs, and doesn't require long treatments. In fact, as Dr Eyerman will explain in this episode, he's treated people who have suffered with long-term conditions they've had for over twenty years, that they for the first time experienced relief on when they underwent a holotropic breathwork treatment.

Bulletproof-style coffee has long been seen by many in the biohacking community as the best way to start the day, and has been a staple of my morning routine for quite some time now. However, I wouldn't be staying true to my name of Leon The Alchemist if I didn't have the desire to tinker, or science the hell out of this tried-and-true biohacker's coffee, and over time I've improved it to become something that I think not only tastes better, but also works much better in my opinion.
Over the years I've refined my own recipe for biohacking coffee for additional mineral content, nootropic benefits, and taste, which I now call "The Alchemist's Brew". Not that you have to call it that, but my ego wouldn't let me pass up the chance to give it my own title. It's in this form that I've been taking my morning coffee for at least the last year, and although I have experimented with other recipes, I almost always end up going right back to making it in the form you'll hear about in this episode. So even if you do decide to make your own changes, I recommend you test it the way it's made here first, to see what all the fuss is about.
You'll find the full recipe for my bastardised version of Bulletproof Coffee below, as well as an in-depth overview and discussion of all the ingredients I use in this episode, and why I use them. If there's one thing that I will stress here again as I do in the episode, it's that you are intentional that you use the highest quality coffee you can afford, if there's one thing you don't skimp on. Not only is the coffee itself the base of the entire recipe and will dictate a great deal of the health benefits, nootropic effects, as well as the general taste profile of the brew, but buy purchasing the best you can afford, you're also avoiding any potential toxin, mould, and other contaminants that may be found in lower quality coffees.
Just on the above, I always buy Kion coffee (https://amzn.to/2HRFrEl) whenever I can get it locally or have it shipped to me, and there are many reasons why. As you can read and listen to in three independent lab tests (https://bit.ly/2K0qwcY) it excelled over all other health brands of coffee in antioxidant content and many other factors, and for me getting the best coffee I can find into my body is important.
Although I tend to take my mushroom supplements (lion's mane, reishi, and chaga) in the morning separately (see episode #17 for how I take them), you could also blend one gram of one or all of these mushroom powders into your coffee as well for an additional health and nootropic boost. However, the taste will change considerably, so I prefer to take them separately and not as part of my coffee. Just be aware that if you are supplementing with any kind of mushrooms that you are getting high-quality products and not myceliated grain, which you can learn more about in episode #1 of this podcast.

Peter Joosten is a transhumanist, keynote speaker, and somewhat of a forward-thinking philosopher, as someone who discusses where our species may be heading in the not-too-distant-future. An expert on biohacking, quantified self, advances in health technology, and so much more, Peter shares information on his website Superhuman Talks (https://superhumantalks.com), and has said his goal is to eventually become a superhuman himself, with extreme advances in technology that are on the horizon.
The topic of transhumanism is an interesting one, and something I've been pondering ever since I first played the PC game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is based around a hypothetical future timeline where there's become a growing divide in humanity between those who are cybernetically enhanced — or "upgraded" to be something beyond human — and tho, se who are not. And as this topic is something that our species may have to tackle over the next few decades, it's worthwhile discussing these concepts now while we still can.
In one of my favourite recorded episodes to date, I discuss some incredibly crazy concepts, from humans replacing perfectly good parts of themselves with bionic implants, DIY gene editing that's currently going on around the world in people's kitchens, bedrooms, and basements, the first gene-edited children to be born, the ethics of humans becoming superhuman or immortal, experimenting with nootropics like psilocybin, LSD, and modafinil, and just about everything in between. We also discuss some of Peter's daily biohacking routines, his meditation practice, some supplements and nootropics that are in his current toolkit.
Of special importance, I talk about my previous desire to replace and augment my own body with cybernetics when they become available, some of the challenges that may result from this, as well as what my current views on this are. After all, my body had been doing a fairly good job of keeping me alive so far, and maybe I've outgrown my Deus Ex fantasies — at least for now.

Siim Land is a true biohacker in every sense of the word. Someone who not only delves deep into the fundamental learnings of how the human body operates and how to optimise it, but who goes above and beyond to make that information digestible and accessible to thousands around the world via his books, YouTube channel, Instagram, and website (https://siimland.com/).
Hailing from Estonia — a stunning country I was fortunate enough to visit for the very first time last year— Siim is one of the few biohackers that almost always hits the nail on the head when it comes to providing information that you need to know, with out all the fluff and filler. I've been following Siim for a couple of years now, initially discovering him via his website, where he shares a ton of in-depth material on how to get more out of your body and mind, biohack your metabolism, uncover the truths and untruths when it comes to fasting, how to perform better via ketosis, and so much more.
In this episode, Siim and I will discuss a range of topics, including information from his book Metabolic Autophagy, what his morning routine looks like, the routines he implements into his life that have the most effect, why meditation is so important for cutting through the mental noise that we're bombarded with in today's modern world, cold therapy and how it can benefit your immune system, medicinal mushrooms, and a ton more.
As I mentioned in this episode, I recommend you seek out Siim on his social media presences — especially YouTube — as he extremely regularly creates phenomenal biohacking content that will upgrade your life, enhance your performance, and grow your skills as a biohacker, regardless of where you are in your journey of learning right now. Find Siim's latest book Metabolic Autophagy below, as well as links to his major social media presences as well.

Honey doesn't seem like it would be considered a tool in a biohacker's toolkit, especially if you're following any kind of paleo or ketogenic diet. Let's face it, we all need less sugar in our diet, and telling you to eat honey isn't exactly helping you to achieve this with any kind of ease. However, in today's episode of the podcast, I'm going to share with you an extremely simple biohack to increase your sleep quality, and assist you in getting more restorative sleep, and wake up being more refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated.
In today's episode, I talk about how you can hack your liver glycogen stores to keep your brain functioning optimally while you're asleep, why this is important, what happens if you don't have enough liver glycogen to keep your brain happy during the evening, the kinds of results you can see by implementing this simple biohacking secret in your evening routine, the kind of honey you should seek out, and the scientifically-backed difference in using raw honey when compared to other honey you might find on a supermarket shelf.
This is the kind of content that I love delivering and sending out in to the ether, because regardless of whether you're the most zealous biohacking geek, or just someone who wants to take better care of their health, this is something that anyone of any skill level, or regardless of your understanding can implement to biohack your health to get more out of your life.
If you want to learn more about my super-special sleep tea I also reference in this episode, please seek out episode number 19, called "Biohacking Your Evening Routine: Blue Light Exposure, Powerful Sleep Tea, Caffeine Restriction, Supplementation, And More", where I talk about this in more detail and why it's more important.

Maneesh Sethi is the founder and CEO of Pavlok (https://pavlok.com/), an incredibly interesting behavioural modification tool that's been used by thousands to quit bad habits like smoking, biting fingernails, over-eating, getting out of bed late, and so much more. Based on the theory of Pavlovian Conditioning put forward by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, it works on the principle that some of our deeply conditioned behaviours can be quite easily changed with a mild shock, or tap to the wrist, where the Pavlok device is worn.
For biohackers, changing our behaviour is a big deal, and something that most high-performers want to implement more in our lives, to override old programming, negative habits, and everything in between. And like a dog being trained to know when it's dinner time by the ringing of a bell as Ivan Pavlov demonstrated, it's extremely easy to modify some of these behaviours in a very sort timeframe, by having a device like the Pavlok remind us when we're slipping into old modes of conditioning.
In this episode, Maneesh talks about how he was inspired to create Pavlok, his story of hiring a "slapper" to slap him in the face in order to be more productive, info about the Pavlok device itself, why you shouldn't be scared of being shocked by the device, the most common behaviours that people use the Pavlok to change, an interesting case study of one Pavlok customer who multiplied his business many times over and changed the way he was productive, some weird behaviours that Pavlok customers have used the device for, and so much more.
If you've found it hard to change some of your learned habits over the last few years, or simply have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning with your first alarm, then Pavlok may be the device that can help you. As some have said, it's shockingly effective.

High antioxidant foods are important to everyone, regardless of whether you're a biohacker, or just someone who wants to take better care of their body and eliminate free radical damage as best as possible. And although many of us have been suckered by food marketing to buy certain things like goji berries, blueberries, and everything in between due to their supposedly high antioxidant content, the fact is that these foods are nowhere near as powerful in fighting free radicals as we've been lead to believe.
Food marketing aside, in this episode I'm cutting through the crap and teaching you about some of the worlds highest antioxidant superfoods, which in one way or another come in the form of herbs and spices — yes, those dried, ground, powdered flavour enhancers in your cupboard that you hesitantly sprinkle on your food to make them taste a little better, are sometimes hundreds of times more powerful when it comes to antioxidant content than berries or other so-called superfoods.
I'll take you through how we rank antioxidant content in foods in terms of their Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) score, a baseline to compare some common foods against herbs and spices in terms of their own ORAC scores, how simple things like black pepper and thyme can be giving your body a significant protective boost, where to find the internet's most comprehensive list of estimated ORAC values, why not all antioxidants are the same, and what are the highest antioxidant foods that we know of today, including sumac, dragon's blood, clove, and many others.
I reference a list of ORAC/antioxidant values on Superfoodly, which you can check out below to get some idea of the phenomenal antioxidant values of herbs, spices, and other foods you may not expect, so you can better make choices on how to get more of these free radical destroying compounds in your life.

Dr Sanni Raju is the chairman and CEO of Natreon Inc. (https://natreoninc.com/), a company dedicated to bringing powerful medicinal compounds to the world, most of them hailing from the ancient Ayurvedic tradition from India. One such compound is shilajit, a phenomenal fulvic mineral compound that I've been using to biohack my joint health, bone health, collagen production, and testosterone for around 15 years, so I can personally attest to just how incredible this stuff is.
Although not yet incredibly well-known to the average health enthusiast, shilajit is gaining steam in the biohacking and natural medicine world, not just due to its thousands of years of use on the Indian subcontinent and beyond, but because of the growing body of research that backs its efficacy as an adaptogen, bio-booster, and healing tool, that shows it is responsible for considerable positive increases in many biomarkers. And as you'll hear in this episode, there are many reasons I've been taking shilajit for so long, and I consider it one of the key ingredients I would not want to give up out of my biohacking toolkit.
In this episode, Dr Sanni Raju discusses many of the benefits of shilajit, a few of the studies that show just how effective shilajit can be on your body, the dose you should be taking of shilajit to see positive effects, how some shilajit can become contaminated by heavy metals and other toxic impurities, as well as the kind of shilajit you should not be taking — which is something I needed to hear, due to me making a few mistakes in how I was getting it into my body. Shilajit it also not the greatest tasting substance in the world, so we talk about how to get it into your body, without suffering from the cigarette ash taste that I always relate this powerful product to.
One issue with getting shilajit into your life, is that with many supplement companies who peddle it to the masses, more often than not you're buying a low-quality product that contains filler, or extremely small amounts of the actual active ingredient. This is one problem that Natreon are trying to tackle with the pure shilajit they supply to the biohacking and health industry, and to make things easy for you, I've listed a number of shilajit supplements below that you can trust for purity and effectiveness, due to them containing Natreon's PrimaVie shilajit.

Dr Thomas Cowan is a leading expert on the link between vaccinations and autoimmune disease, and the author of the book Vaccines, Autoimmunity, And The Changing Nature Of Childhood Illness (https://amzn.to/2OkZKdD), and the founder of Fourfold Healing (https://fourfoldhealing.com/), a medical practice that has been built on the principle of allowing our body to heal naturally, using the powerful holistic tools that our bodies have inbuilt into them.
This episode is likely to be a divisive one to some, as I know most people who care about their health seem to have a fairly concrete view on whether vaccines are either all-good or all-bad, due to what they've heard online or in the media. My view is not so partisan, as the research I've delved into on vaccines seems to show their benefit to society, as well as some negative effects on our own natural immune system, as well as a detriment to autoimmune disease, which is what Dr Cowan and I discuss in this episode.
An extremely important episode for biohackers and everyday people alike, as due to all of us having an immune system, which is our body's frontline defence against the outside world, we all need to be aware and informed on anything that could be hindering it to do what it's been designed to do over millennia of evolution.
As I mention in this episode, I urge all of you not to take everything in this episode as the final word on autoimmune disease or vaccinations, as this is just the tip of the iceberg, and to check out Dr Thomas Cowan's book below, and other resources mentioned in this episode.

Celebrities may have more recognisable faces and swelling bank balances (also maybe egos), but they definitely don't have all the answers. However, the Hoffman Process is currently receiving an increase in popularity with names like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Sienna Miller, and many more touting the incredible benefits this life-changing week-long transformative therapy it can offer in terms of clearing away a lifetime of trauma.
As a biohacker, I believe most of what holds us back starts in the mind, and the Hoffman Process was created decades ago as a way to help humans overcome base programming that's been with us from childhood, that may be causing us a lifetime of pain, anguish, and holding us back from our true potential.
In today's episode, I chat to Volker Krohn, psychotherapist and the director of the Australian arm of the Hoffman Institute (https://www.hoffmanprocess.com.au/), whose mission it is to use this method of facing one's historical baggage, and using that confrontation to change your life for the better, once and for all. As I mentioned above, while the Hoffman Process has been around for decades, its starting to see an incredible boost in popularity due to its effectiveness, as well as the celebrity influence that's sharing it with the world.
Of special interest in this episode are why the Hoffman Process seems to work so well for many people, the kinds of issues people tackle with this therapy, where most of our life-altering issues stem from, as well as some interesting discussion on anger, and how it can possibly benefit human beings as a whole.

Can gratitude make you a happier human being? According to religious texts, and maybe even something your parents may have told you as a kid, the answer is yes. However, as biohackers, many of us need more than spiritual dogma to confirm whether this is actually the case, and thankfully, it's science to the rescue yet again.
But the science aside, being grateful is something that's talked about in just about every religious manual in history, from Christianity, to Buddhism, in Islam, and everywhere else in between. It's something that many humans innately know to be something of importance, or a practice which brings more abundance into one's life.However, with study that's gone on in this field, we now know that gratitude can not only benefit your mood, wellbeing, and happiness, but can actually rewire your brain in terms of changing the very nature of how you see the world. Some of the studies that reflect this can be found below, which are some of the resources I mention in this episode.
I've personally observed a gratitude practice in my life for almost a decade and a half now, and although it's something I saw benefit from right from the start, it wasn't always something that I could quantify was working scientifically. And more than almost any daily practice I have implemented in my daily routine, it's one of the few I can say I would never want to give up, that I urge all of you to try, if it's something you haven't yet experienced.

This episode is not like the others, and is something of a public service announcement (PSA). But in saying that, I need your help. To celebrate the Bio Alchemy podcast hitting the one month mark, I'm asking all of you for feedback, advice, criticism, and what you want to see more of in future. I want nothing more than to make this podcast even more epic, and in this episode you can help me do just that.
Apart from that, I want to thank all of you for making the podcast so incredible so far, and for helping it succeed beyond anything I expected in the first month alone. We hit over 25,000 downloads in the first month, and I'm expecting month two to be more than 50,000 downloads alone, which puts the Bio Alchemy biohacking podcast in a special category of podcasts that don't achieve these kinds of numbers early on. And for that, I can't thank all of you enough, as it's all of you who have helped me succeed, hit goals I set myself, as well as help me share this information with the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Regular episodes will resume as normal tomorrow with TWO episodes dropping as a thank you for listening to today's abnormal episode, so stay tuned for that. But again, thank you all for making the podcast what it has so far become.

Let's face it: sex is great. But what if it could become better via biohacking? Today I'm chatting to Kiana Reeves of Foria (https://foriapleasure.com/), which is a company that produces and distributes incredible sexual health and wellness products made using the cannabinoids THC and CBD, which I can personally vouch that are unbelievably epic in upgrading your sex life, especially for the ladies out there. And if you've never considered that you can biohack your sex life, this is definitely an episode for you to tune in to.
Cannabis has been used for centuries — possibly even millennia — as a natural compound to assist with a ton of the human race's ills, and there's also some evidence that it's been used as a sexual aid in this respect as well. And from personal experience as I discuss in this episode, something I've also used in my own life to make sex better, though not necessarily using a CBD or THC product like Foria until more recently in my life's journey.
Kiana and I chat about some of the uses of Foria's products, some misconceptions about cannabis products in general, the kinds of things you can expect when adding some cannabis into your sex life, and so much more. And for the ladies out there, just know that although men can definitely see some benefit in cannabis products in conjunction with sex, you'll be happy to know that those of you with a vagina tend to definitely see more pleasurable results than guys, so this episode will especially be one of interest to you.
Unfortunately though, due to a large part of the planet's nations having negative views on cannabis on a legal front, not all of you will be able to enjoy Foria's products legally, or use cannabis as a biohacking tool in your sex life, but let's just hope that this won't be an issue for much longer.

A legend in the world of superfoods, Darin Olien is known by the moniker "The Superfood Hunter" due to his extensive, phenomenal, and world-changing work in the world of superfoods, and powerful plant compounds. One of the interviews I've been most excited about since starting my journey talking about biohacking on this podcast, Darin's interview is essential for anyone wanting to learn more about superfoods, and cut through the crap when it comes to what is and isn't legit in this extremely hyped up world of healing plants and nutrient-rich foods.
The author of Superlife (https://amzn.to/2F2qA6c), Darin is no stranger to knowing all about what makes the human body tick, and how to effectively change your dietary environment to perform at a level you never thought possible. But it's not all about technological devices and space-age biohacks for Darin, he's all about taking things back to nature, and giving out bodies what they need to survive in a way that mimics our ancestral health.
We talk about superfoods in detail in this episode, including some of the plants Darin has helped bring to the West, though you should pay special attention to when Darin talks about salt — specifically Himalayan pink mineral salt — and how you should be getting more of this into your system, and why it's so important.
I highly recommend you learn more about Darin as he's an interesting character to say the least, and you can connect with him via the links below, and digest more of what he's all about.

You asked for it, and here it is: by popular demand, I’m bringing to you my biohacking nightly routine, that more often than not I try to observe when I’m home and not on the road, or somewhere abroad.
Since posting my morning routine episode around a month ago (way back in episode number 2), I’ve had a ton of feedback from people wanting to know what I tend to do at night, and this episode is a response to that in order to give the people what they want. I discuss everything from my nightly supplementation routine, to how to minimise blue light exposure, the best ways to wind your brain down, and so much more.
Be sure to check out all the resources and links to what I mention in this episode below, as well as to hit me up on Instagram to let me know if you have any special tip, tricks, or tactics you use to biohack your own nightly routine.
YouTube star, biomechanics expert, biohacker, fitness nut, and all-round awesome dude Blake Bowman is today's guest on the Bio Alchemy podcast, and is a special one to tune into if you're human. And that is because Blake is going to be sharing some intimate secrets from the world of movement and posture, teaching all of us some simple and extremely effective tips and tactics to move better, take care of our body's supporting frame, and so much more.
Blake is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to many aspects of self-improvement, from fitness, to diet, to mental and physical wellness, though it's the field of movement and biomechanics where his wisdom really shines. If you're the kind of person who has ever injured yourself pushing your body to the limit, or simply done yourself some damage from poor exercise or movement practices, chances are Blake is the guy who will put you right.
I tend to find that a lot of the so-called "influencers" or personalities in the biohacking or self-improvement world don't tend to share their messages, tips, or advice with much flair or soul, though Blake is definitely an outlier in this respect. You only need to check out the videos he posts almost daily on his Instagram feed (https://www.instagram.com/guerrillazen/) to see what I'm on about, and get a taste of how entertaining he can be when it comes to spreading the world of good movement and biomechanics with the world.
Find out more about Blake via his website Guerrilla Zen (https://guerrillazen.com/), or by searching for Guerrilla Zen on almost all social media channels.

People are always interested in my morning routine as a biohacker, and is something I also try to tease out of my guests in terms of what makes them perform better each day. And for me, one essential part of my routine is a very specific herbal-based cocktail or drink containing a ton of products I use to give my body and mind a boost, and ensure it's off to the most optimal start each morning.
In this episode, I go into detail on my not-so-nice-tasting biohacking morning cocktail, the ingredients I put into it, what makes them so effective, as well as why you may consider doing something yourself every morning for a biohacker's boost to start your day.
Below you'll also find the products I specifically use in it, and trusted sources/brands you may consider purchasing if any (or all) of these products make sense to you to integrate into your own morning smoothie full of biohacking goodness. And be sure to let me know on Instagram (http://instagram.com/leonthealchemist) if you have your own variation of a morning cocktail, or if you noticed some benefits from this one!

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, so is something you may not consider would be extremely effective as a biohacking tool for health, wellness, and longevity. However, as you’ll learn in this episode, hydrogen is being studied as an extremely powerful therapy that can be used to aid in many areas of our lives.
in today’s interview, I’m talking to Jeff Taraday, one of the co-owners of Trusii, who are the world’s leader in molecular hydrogen. And although molecular hydrogen therapy is relatively new in the grand scheme of things when it comes to health and biohacking, that doesn’t in any way shadow the power of this heavily-studied element.
Personally, I’ve used molecular hydrogen for years as my go-to aid in helping me stay alert, and healthy when I travel, as well as my number one tool for beating jetlag during the six months or so a year I’m on the road. Jeff and I discuss this in today’s episode, as well as many more reasons you should be getting more hydrogen in your life.

Quantified Bob (Bob Troia) is a legend in the biohacking industry, and someone who is known as the king of self-experimentation, data gathering, and biohacking the human body in the way that very few people can claim. More than anything, Bob is known for self-quantification, which is the process of cataloguing information about certain biomarkers, and using that information to improve his mind and body.
In this interview, we discuss some of the most surprising things Bob has uncovered in his journey as a biohacker, some of the most profound things he’s discovered when it comes to controlling his biology, extremely powerful hacks for sleep, uncovering the truth about grounding (or earthing as it’s sometimes known), simple biohacks almost anyone can do, modalities of treatment or healing that didn't work for him, advice for new biohackers, and so much more.
I thoroughly recommend searching for more information about Bob, as well as following his adventures in the world of self-quantification, which you can do via http://quantifiedbob.com/ or by doing a simple Google search on the man himself.
I hope you enjoy. Feel free to share this episode around if you received some value out of it, and I look forward to sharing more like this in the future.

Bluetooth: it's something that's extremely prevalent in the modern age, and is a super-common method of wireless data transfer that you likely use on a day-to-day basis in some form. And like almost all wireless transmission, Bluetooth emits radiation — albeit in very small amounts — but radiation nonetheless. And as I've become more and more wary of any kind of radiation or electromagnetic frequency exposure of late, it's something I thought I'd tackle in one of my solo biohacking episodes of the Bio Alchemy podcast.
I touch on a couple of studies (linked below) that show what kind of an effect Bluetooth may be having on organic biology and cellular health, as well as some minor solutions you can implement in your daily life if you want to minimise as much as possible how much EMF exposure you're getting via Bluetooth. As I discuss in this episode, there's not a lot that's definitive in humans (yet), though the fact we know communications like Bluetooth have damaging effects on smaller organisms, leads me to believe it's having some kind of negative effect on humans as well.
If you get anything out of this episode though that I'd really like you to take away, is that any transmitting device close to your head — ie; Bluetooth headphones — is likely doing you more harm than good. As with all transmitting devices like phones, WiFi, etc., the further it is from what is arguably your mot important organ, the better.
There's a ton more information on this subject out there if you want to do more digging, so don't take this episode as a definitive answer on the topic, though it should be a good start if you want to dive deeper into the topic.

You may be the kind of person who thinks your digestive health is fine. You may think all is well when it comes to the way your body processes food. And you may not have ever had much of a problem in your life in this area until now. However, this episode may change your mind as to how you think about your food, digestion, and your diet in general.
My guest today is Wade Lightheart, Canada's three-time natural bodybuilding champion, and one of the world's foremost experts of enzymes, digestion, and the energy-production part of the human process, that most of us take for granted. And as in my opinion that food is the second most important part of a biohacker's routine to get a handle on after sleep, this is likely an episode you'll be wanting to get into your mind.
Wade will go over some details about his story, how he bought himself back from the brink of a digestive health disaster, as well as founding the company BiOptimizers (http://bioptimizers.com/), with their products being an important topic of this episode. BiOptimizers is a company very well know in the biohacking world, and one who I have been recommending more and more to biohackers and humans who want to perform better quite often of late.
Full disclosure also on this episode, Wade was generous enough to send me a huge boxy of BiOptimizer's products after recording this episode, though that aside I am an immense fan of what they do, especially their Masszymes proteolytic enzymes, and P3OM probiotics. I highly recommend them to anyone who really wants to lock down their digestive health.

Let's face it; cold showers suck. And although I've already discussed my morning cold thermogenesis practice in episode #002 in a small amount of detail, so many of you weren't sure why this biohacking practice was so important, so I thought it necessary to dedicate one of my solo episodes to it. As far as biohacks go, this one is definitely effective, albeit one that you won't like doing, especially when you start the practice.
Taking cold showers in the AM is something that's been gaining a ton of popularity in the worldwide community to biohackers, with the legendary Dutch cold therapy practitioner Win Hof being credited by many as bringing this tool into the general awareness of the public. And in this episode, I go into some more of the detail of why you should be taking cold showers in the morning, the mental and immunological benefits that they can have to your biology, how they can help you to become a more strong-minded human being, as well as the most important parts of your body you should be directing that frigid stream to maximise the benefits.
For me, cold showers have been a part of my daily ritual for some time, though I will admit that it's not something I do without fail every day, but more often than not, I am freezing my ass off in the morning, sucking in deep breaths as my body adjusts to the shock, and wondering why the hell I started this whole biohacking thing in the first place.
I'm not saying you'll completely thank me for this episode, and you'll likely be cursing my name for introducing this biohack into your life in the early stages, though there's so much science pointing to how effective it can be for your overall health, that it's not something you should be ignoring.

The second on my special two-part interview with adventurer, author, speaker, athlete and all-round motivational figure Kyle Maynard (http://kyle-maynard.com), who for the first time opens up about his use of psychedelics, the impact they've had so far on his life, as well as how he sees these compounds being of benefit to the human race.
If you haven't yet listened to the first part of this interview that was published on the first of March 2019, I recommend you go and do that first, especially if you haven't yet been introduced to Kyle and what he's all about. It's available wherever you've discovered this podcast, and is episode #10 posted directly before this one, so it's easy to track down. In it, I introduce Kyle, some of his achievements, and we discuss his Kilimanjaro adventure, biohacking, mental processes, fave books, and so much more.
Whether you call them entheogens, plant medicine, or the more commonly-known psychedelics, these compounds are still a controversial topic for some, though are becoming more widely accepted as science learns more about the benefits they can have on humanity. As I refer in the episode, there's some great information on how they're being used in healing via MAPS (https://maps.org/). I also recommend the books How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollen (https://amzn.to/2GYuosE) if you would like to learn more.
In the episode, Kyle talks about his experiences with psilocybin, what he learned from it, and how his thought process has changed as a result of going down this path. We also discuss the ethics of these compounds, who they may be beneficial for, and some of the challenges of making them more available to the wider world. As mentioned, this isn't a topic that Kyle has ever discussed in public before, so is a great one to digest. I feel extremely lucky that I was able to share this story with the world.
