The Flow Within by Jessica Alana: Recent Episodes
The Flow Within - Jessica Alana
Jessica Alana is a scientist passionate about bridging the gap between alternative medicine and data-backed science.
In 2019, Jessica suffered an extremely traumatic event and lost faith in traditional medicine after witnessing a loved one drugged up and dumped from doctor to doctor. This, confounded by a deep knowing that the pharmaceutical industry thrives on us never finding the root cause of our ailments, sparked Jessica's journey into self-love, self-healing and self-help.
Being confident in scientific research and clinical data, she decided to compile her own knowledge and become an expert biohacker.
Since then, Jessica has been accredited by key thought leaders within the health and wellness space and is a frequent contributor to publications and a highly sought-after speaker. Jessica's deep learning of the body's anatomy, physiology and concepts of disease gives great depth to understanding her client's needs. Jessica aims to inspire people with her own healing journey and an open mind. Jessica is an avid believer in plant-based medicines such as psychedelics and wishes to help people understand that these compounds were given to us as a gift from Mother Nature.
Jessica believes that all diseases are multifaceted conditions accumulated by the insults of a modern-day lifestyle and have no singular cause. Together, Jessica would love to teach you how to optimise your physical health so you can begin to live a life free from disease.
Via online, phone, e-mail and in-person consulting, Jessica can help people worldwide in health and longevity. She specialises in digestion and gut repair, regenerative and longevity medicine, psychedelics, post-traumatic stress disorder and spirituality. Jessica also works alongside world-famous biohackers and holds a plethora of knowledge within her network. Fundamentally, Jessica aims to unlock the innate healing energy and wisdom that already resides within you.
Furthermore, after losing her mother to a long battle against mental health, Jessica hopes to coach people out of similar grief. Losing a loved one to suicide is an incredibly tragic event, and Jessica holds her heart open to anyone who would like to hold her hand whilst they try their best to recover from such devastation.
Jessica is proud of The Flow Within and aims to use her website to share her unique views and thoughts whilst spreading love and healing energy to anyone who visits. Jessica also hosts her Youtube channel, has featured on many podcasts, and has her writing featured in Men's Health and Biohacker's Magazine. In addition, Jessica is a routine speaker at the world's top biohacking summit hosted by Biohacking Center.
Jessica Alana's mission is to help those who, like herself, desire to live a life full of freedom, hope, fulfilment and connection. To educate and inspire, and to transmute pain into passion and love. To wake up every day and be grateful for the life you have created for yourself and to look back and know you have helped the lives of many.

Bojan Matic is Serbia's top biohacker and undoubtedly the most influential health and wellness coach in South-East Europe.
Bojan is currently writing a book that is set to be published soon. His book aims to simplify biohacking and health optimisation to introduce the concept to his community, and everybody can understand.
Bojan is the Founder and CEO of Biohacking Academy, an educational platform where he lectures, performs corporate training and 1-on-1 mentorship programmes. Bojan also hosts online courses, sharing his wide wealth of knowledge.
Bojan is set to open the first-ever biohacking lab in Serbia. He will have a wide range of machines within his clinic, including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, light therapy, cryotherapy, and neurofeedback to focus on healthspan rather than lifespan.
Jessica and Bojan are both highly interested in the gut microbiome, and both believe it is the key to healing chronic disease. Bojan's first call of action in treating any of his clients is to heal their leaky gut. He has seen first-hand how healing gastrointestinal permeability can have amazing effects on unknown symptoms people have been suffering from for years. Bojan is an expert in using holistic herbs and ancient compounds to heal systemically.
Additionally, Bojan and Jessica touch upon autism. Both believe that if the biochemical cause of autism is identified with precision utilising scientific data and facts (laboratory studies and evaluations), then the condition can improve with the appropriate treatment. In both Jessica's and Bojan's clinical experience, they have seen significant changes in individuals with autism after using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and individualised evidence-based treatment plans. Bojan specifically targets the gut in his autistic clients and has seen incremental changes.
Lastly, Jessica asks Bojan how he thinks crypto/blockchain/web3 and the metaverse will impact the healthcare industry's biohacking. They discuss the possibility of buying land and opening a virtual lab within the metaverse, and how this would be great for pre and post consulting.

We are all dopamine junkies, in one way or another. This is a fact we cannot escape. But what we can change is how we satiate this craving for pleasure.
Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter. Your body makes it, and your nervous system uses it to send messages between nerve cells. That's why it's sometimes called a chemical messenger.
So, the question is, are you a person made up of high ROI dopamine junkie habits or low ROI dopamine junkie habits?
High ROI dopamine habits would consist of creating rather than consuming. Creating a life based on high ROI dopamine habits is the key to success and largely depends on your morning routine.
If in the morning you wake up and automatically check social media, such as Instagram, I am sorry to say that you have just ingrained into your brain a low ROI dopamine habit, and most probably during the rest of the day, it will be hard to resist checking your phone.
However, if you wake up in the morning, stretch, read a book and journal, you are instilling high ROI dopamine habits, and the rest of your day will probably be productive.
Your habits make up your day, and your day makes up your life. How you live a day is how you live life.
Do you want to be a high ROI junkie? Or a low ROI junkie?
Time is energy, and time is the most valuable item one can ever possess. If you have not started thinking of your time as ROI-based, you are not critically analysing your habits.

Professor Pedro Barata (MD, PharmD, MSc, MBA, PhD) is an expert clinical researcher with his own hospital-grade multiplace Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy lab based in Porto, Portugal.
When he is not lecturing at top worldwide universities, Pedro focuses on the influence of microbiota on health and disease, optimization of therapeutics and development of new medical devices and pharmaceutical dosage systems.
Prof Barata is also a passionate free thinker and uses his fantastic mind plus data-backed science to aid the decriminalisation of cannabis. Most recently, Pedro and his colleagues demonstrated the virucide effectiveness of CBD and terpene-based formulations in their paper Cannabidiol and Terpene Formulation Reducing SARS-CoV-2 Infectivity Tackling a Therapeutic Strategy.
Pedro and Jessica became acquainted through their belief in the novel biotech known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and the future of microbiome-based pharmaceuticals.
In this podcast, you can learn so much from Pedro and his way of understanding:
- Pedro explains to Jessica the aim of his HBOT lab and how he is predominately focusing on non-cosmetic anti-ageing benefits of HBOT, such as telomere lengthening.
- Additionally, Pedro is working on Hyperbaric Medicine for stroke and Alzheimer's and whether HBOT can halt, enhance recovery or delay disease.
- Prof Barata also discusses how he is harnessing the power of HBOT to influence our microbiome positively and to understand if using oxygen can shift our microbiota.
The Wellness Lab is so excited for Pedro to visit in April when he is visiting London to lecture at King's College London on regulatory affairs and medical devices.
Lastly, Pedro comments upon crypto, AI, VR and the metaverse and how these innovations will impact the healthcare system:
- "AI is already here; We're using it. It will help us understand our patients better."
- "I'm absolutely fascinated by all the research of AI."
- Prof Barata hopes to develop his own NFT collection based on biological tumour cells.
- "If you have data, you can go to a virtual consultation."
