590: The Dark Side of Biohacking

We live in a time when there is so much information and technology available to optimize our health, making it increasingly easy to fall into the trap of obsessing and overcomplicating our health. I recently had the honor of speaking at Dave Asprey’s Biohacking Conference, and I had an eye-opening realization: sometimes, the pursuit of biohacking can lead us away from peace and into overwhelm.

In this episode, I’m sharing five (5) nature-based “biohacks” that are free and cost nothing to help improve your mind, body, and overall well-being. While there is no shortage of tools and gadgets, such as cold plunges, red light therapy, and PEMF mats, that track every macro—and I’ve tried them all—we actually have everything we need if we just utilize what nature provides.

No matter what your personal goals are, whether it’s to lose weight, add muscle, or improve cardio, I believe that improving our health isn’t achieved through suffering; it’s attained with consistent and sustainable actions that give you the energy and motivation to propel you towards the next step.
