We are so excited to share this incredible interview with Ari Whitten, the founder of The Energy Blueprint. We have been following his work for many years and are always blown away by the information and tips he shares. He kicks off the episode by sharing his health journey with an Epstein Barr Virus diagnosis that led him to discover the true causes of chronic fatigue. He explains the importance of the mitochondria (and mitochondrial biogenesis); how the cell danger response impacts energy; the major role our circadian rhythm plays in energy levels; how melatonin isn't just a "sleep supplement"; and the fascinating, yet frightening effects of caffeine on our brains.

Ari Whitten is the Founder of The Energy Blueprint. He is an energy and fatigue specialist who focuses on taking an evidence-based approach to energy enhancement, nutrition, exercise, natural health expert, and #1 best-selling author. He has been studying nutrition and holistic health for more than 2 decades and has a Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University in Kinesiology (with specialization in fitness, nutrition, and health). He also has a background in exercise physiology and fitness. He holds two advanced certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. In addition, he recently completed the 3 years of coursework for his Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, an education that rounds out all aspects – nutrition, fitness, and psychology – of his approach to optimal health. Ari is a tireless researcher who has obsessively devoted the last 20 years of his life to the pursuit of being on the cutting‑edge of the science on health and energy enhancement.

In this episode, we dive into the critical role minerals play in overall health with Barton Scott, founder and CEO of Upgraded Formulas. Barton shares why many of us are mineral deficient, even with a healthy diet, and how these deficiencies can impact everything from energy levels to cognitive function. He explains the importance of choosing high-quality mineral supplements and introduces the concept of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a tool that provides a personalized approach to understanding individual deficiencies. This episode is packed with insights on optimizing your health through better mineral intake and understanding your body's unique needs.

Barton Scott is a Biochemist, Inventor, Behavioral Nutritionist, has spoken around the world and is the Founder and CEO of Upgradedformulas.com which helps people around the world heal, find more energy, sleep better, lose weight, get off of medications and reverse age.

In 2015 Barton developed a unique industrial process using his background in Chemical Engineering to produce a new category of minerals, called Stabilized Nano Minerals using a Nano Particle Technology that absorbs very easily without the need for normal digestion, and at-home hair analysis testing to know which supplements you need to restore the most fundamental nutrient deficiencies in the body, quickly and easily.

Upgraded Formulas has an incredibly innovative line of products now backed by a DOUBLE BLINDED CLINICAL TRIAL, showing the most impressive sleep improvements (among many other improvements!) such as deep sleep and REM sleep improvements both over 150% in only 14 nights, from a supplement that we’ve ever heard of, and among other solutions such as at-home hair analysis kits for identifying and restoring nutrient deficiency.

Paul Austin joined the podcast for a fascinating discussion about the third wave of psychedelics! He shares how and when the first and second wave ended, and how we can support the third wave to change the future of the psychedelic space. He breaks down everything we need to know about this topic, including the different options for dosing and the importance of integration into our daily lives. He also shares what's currently happening as far as decriminalization and legalization and where he sees the industry going in the next few years.

Paul F. Austin is an entrepreneur, public speaker, and educator. He has founded two companies in the emerging psychedelic space, Third Wave and Synthesis. Within Third Wave, Paul leads his team in building an educational platform to ensure psychedelic substances become responsibly integrated into our cultural framework. Currently, Third Wave offers long-form psychedelic guides, online microdosing programs, and an industry-best network of clinics and retreat providers. In 2018, Paul co-founded Synthesis, and led several high-dose psilocybin truffle retreats over the span of one year. When not leading retreats, Paul headed up branding, marketing, and public relations for Synthesis before stepping back to focus on Third Wave full-time. Because of his pioneering work at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, Paul has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, and Rolling Stone. Paul sees psychedelic use as a skill, one that becomes more refined as we explore the many nuances of these awe-inspiring medicines and molecules. Learning how to hone this skill will be crucial in the story of humanity’s present-future evolution.

We are thrilled to have Scott Kennedy back on the podcast for a deeper dive into the incredible health benefits of red light therapy. We catch up on the latest scientific research, benefits of pulsing and higher frequencies, his thoughts on red light beds and hormesis, and more! Also, make sure you check out our previous episode with Scott in 2020 for an intro to red light therapy.

Scott Kennedy is a certified laser/light specialist and health coach. In 2018, he started the first light therapy wellness center in New Jersey where he meet with clients from all walks of life, all ages, and with the gambit of issues. 

He started his journey 10 years ago when he suffered from peripheral neuropathy. He saw countless doctors and tried countless remedies with only limited relief. He went from running ultra-marathons and boxing to being sedentary. 

Within 4 months, his symptoms decreased over 80%. The improvements he felt from light therapy were life-altering. He's now back to running and boxing and living life. His goal is to now help others get back to doing what they enjoy in life, without pain or pills.

With a focus on safety and quality, he began LightpathLED to create the best home use panels on the market. They now have panels that surpass the competition at a lower price point as well as panels with multiple wavelengths and pulsing, which no other company is doing. His commitment is always to the pursuit of optimal health and well-being of his clients and their families.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Christy Sutton, author of The Iron Curse, to debunk myths and misconceptions about iron. Dr. Sutton dives into the complex relationship between iron and health, discussing the potential dangers of both low and high iron levels and how they can impact overall well-being. We explore the root causes behind iron imbalances, including genetic factors, diet, and lifestyle, and discuss practical solutions to address these issues. She also provides valuable insights on what to request during lab testing, offering listeners a guide to better advocate for their health.

Dr. Christy Sutton is a chiropractor who is interested in asking why health problems happen and finding the safest, best solutions to common problems. Getting to the root of the problem is the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice. Her focus is on finding the cause of and avoiding health landmines early.

Her most recent book, The Iron Curse, is the product of discovering that her husband had hereditary hemochromatosis, and a pituitary tumor that may have been causes by having undiagnosed high iron damaging the body. After this experience she began to look closer at the hemochromatosis genes with iron labs in patients. She discovered that there is a silent epidemic of undiagnosed hemochromatosis, high iron, and that hemochromatosis patients are misunderstood, mistreated, misdiagnosed, and dismissed.

In this episode, we jump into the world of alcohol alternatives with Justin Wolf, the founder of New Brew. He shared his personal journey away from alcohol and how it inspired him to enter the growing market of functional beverages. New Brew specializes in offering an alternative to traditional alcoholic drinks, catering to individuals seeking healthier choices or those who want to explore different experiences. We explored the diverse landscape of functional beverages and discussed the unique properties of ingredients like kratom and kava, which are gaining popularity. Justin highlighted the benefits of choosing alcohol alternatives, including improved mental clarity and enhanced relaxation. He also addressed misconceptions surrounding kratom and kava, shedding light on their cultural significant and potential health benefits when consumed responsibly.

Justin Wolf started New Brew after being frustrated by all the non-alc and "functional beverage" options that didn't live up to their claims. While traveling in Mexico, he experienced the transformative benefits of Kava Root and Kratom Leaf, and set out with his two brothers to create a ready to drink beverage for California Sober and health conscious individuals like him. Before starting New Brew, Justin spent five years leading Global Partnerships at Google and launched Drip Drop, an electrolyte powder hydration supplement that is now sold at pharmacies across the US. Throughout his career, Justin has been an early investor and advisor in the psychedelic medicine space. Now, along with his two brothers, Justin is on a mission to give consumers better alternatives to alcohol, and educate people about the transformative benefits of plants.

Melissa Bolona, Founder & CEO of Beauty & the Broth, recognized the power of bone broth from the inside out; however, she felt that bone broth offerings were lacking accessibility and innovation. To fill this gap, Melissa took the matters into her own hands, dedicating 2 years to R&D, testing countless ratios and recipes in order to make sure that each batch of Beauty & the Broth tasted homemade and nutritious. It was during this time that she discovered that her recipes in concentrated form were the best and most optimal way to conveniently get bone broth into her customers' hands.

Beauty & the Broth is the first of its kind, beauty and wellness brand offering shelf-stable, direct to consumer bone broth that's care-free, convenient and customizable.

Melissa created Beauty & The Broth to introduce a direct to door model of bone broth, designed for anytime and anywhere, easy to assimilate into daily consumption, treating it like a cup of morning coffee. The single serve packaged, USDA organic broth concentrates with no preservatives are available for subscription delivery nationwide allowing one to take it on-the-go in the car, to the gym or even to the beach. From tighter skin elasticity to decreased brain fog, the benefits of the broth can be attributed to the simple, paleo, gluten-free, salt-free and keto-friendly ingredients, cooked by the brand’s signature slow simmer process. This unique process preserves the natural flavors, compounds, proteins and collagens which results in higher quality, more flavorful products and ingredients.

Melissa shared how bone broth initiated her journey back to optimal health, why bone broth and exercise are easy first steps everyone can take, and the incredible health benefits collagen offers. She truly believes beauty starts from within by optimizing gut, brain, and immune health.

Lily Nichols joins us today to chat all about how women can support their bodies before, during and after pregnancy. She debunks several food myths during pregnancy, including the concern around ketones and a plant-based diet. She also discusses the importance of a nutrient-dense diet, gives insight into managing gestational diabetes, and shares what biomarkers should be tracked during pregnancy.

Lily Nichols is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition. Drawing from the current scientific literature and the wisdom of traditional cultures, her work is known for being research-focused, thorough, and sensible. Her bestselling book, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes (and online course of the same name), presents a revolutionary nutrient-dense, lower carb approach for managing gestational diabetes. Her work has not only helped tens of thousands of women manage their gestational diabetes (most without the need for blood sugar-lowering medication), but has also influenced nutrition policies internationally. Lily’s clinical expertise and extensive background in prenatal nutrition have made her a highly sought after consultant and speaker in the field.

Lily’s second book, Real Food for Pregnancy, is an evidence-based look at the gap between conventional prenatal nutrition guidelines and what’s optimal for mother and baby. With over 930 citations, this is the most comprehensive text on prenatal nutrition to date.

Lily is also creator of the popular blog, LilyNicholsRDN.com, which explores a variety of topics related to real food, mindful eating, and pregnancy nutrition.

Nathalie Niddam joins our podcast this week for a deep dive on the hot topic of peptides and bioregulators. She breaks down the difference between peptides & bioregulators, the importance of quality sourcing, top peptides for longevity, skincare & pain, plus her thoughts on biohacking and the future of peptides.

Nathalie Niddam is a Holistic Nutritionist, a Human Potential Coach and Epigenetic Coach who is immersed in the world of health optimization and longevity. A few years ago she stumbled upon peptides and bioregulator peptides at a health optimization conference and has been immersed in the study and application of these as health optimization and longevity tools ever since.

Nathalie runs a large and growing Biohacking Community on Facebook (the Optimizing Superhuman Performance Group), is the host of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance Podcast, and she speaks at health conferences on longevity and…what else Bioregulator Peptides.

As of today Nathalie’s Biological Age is a full 14 years younger than her Chronological age with Telomeres matching someone 22 years younger…her goal is to keep that clock moving back and to make sure that people learn that this is possible for them if they are willing to take charge of their health!

In this episode, we sit down with Mike and Alyssa, the visionary founders of the Align Mat—a cutting-edge wellness tool that uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy to support cellular health and restore balance to the nervous system. They share the inspiration behind the Align Mat and explain how PEMF therapy works to help the body return to its natural state of equilibrium. We dive into the science behind PEMF, exploring how different frequencies can be used to energize cells, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Mike and Alyssa also talk about the importance of quality when it comes to PEMF technology—why not all mats are created equal, and what to look for in a truly effective product. Tune in to learn how aligning your body with the right frequencies can support deep healing, resilience, and optimal performance.

Alyssa Blue is a non practicing Aerospace engineer that found the human body more fascinating than rockets. After suffering a health crisis in her early 20's she went on a decade long journey learning how to heal herself. Today as an FDNP, her research background shines, taking a deep dive to investigate her clients bio-individuality and walking with them on a path back to balance. 

Mike McPherson has a similar pain to purpose story being born with the gift of medical intuition. Having no resources as a child to understand his extra sensory perceptions, he suppressed his gifts for years. As a young adult, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia and was prescribed medications to cope with severe anxiety and depression. After a happy chance meeting, Mike met a mentor that assisted him on a path of discovery into his gifts. Mike now guides others with subconscious trauma patterns back to wholeness through the use of multiple energetic modalities.  

Out of a necessity to help more people than their 1-2-1 practice would allow Mike and Alyssa embarked on a 2.5 year journey of R&D to co-create ALIGN. It is the only Schumann Resonance tuned PEMF mat on the market. It is a meticulously crafted art piece blending ancient wisdom and modern technology to empower more people to tap into their own innate healing potential.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dean Hall, a two-time cancer survivor and powerful advocate for holistic healing. Dean shares his remarkable journey back to health after facing life-threatening illnesses and explains why he considers himself a "bio-haver" rather than a biohacker. He opens up about the link between environmental toxins and disease, shedding light on the factors that may have contributed to his diagnoses. He also discusses the healing power of nature and cold therapy, two practices that played essential roles in his recovery. From hiking scenic trails to embracing cold water immersion, he reveals how reconnecting with the environment helped him find peace, resilience, and strength. This conversation dives into his unique perspective on health and wellness, offering listeners actionable insights and a reminder of the body's incredible capacity to heal.

Dean is a licensed therapist and success coach with over 30 years of experience, a best-selling author and highly sought-after speaker, a two-time cancer survivor, and a two-time world record-setting extreme distance swimmer. He is the first person in history to swim the entire 187-mile length of Oregon’s longest river, the Willamette River, (which he did as an active cancer patient) in 2014, and Ireland’s longest river, the River Shannon (180 miles), in 2017.

Dean’s unexpected radical remission from his cancers as a result of his immersive adventures in nature inspired him to create his organization, The Wild Cure Way. His mission is to encourage everyone to get out of concrete jungles, manmade boxes and away from digital devices and explore and embrace wild waters, deep forests and open oceans as the most powerful and means of authentic, deep healing for mind, body and spirit.

Women are not prepared for menopause (and their doctors aren't helping) and Esther Blum is here to change that!

If your doctor has written off your symptoms as "normal" without any solutions, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode! She shares why there is a lack of treatment for women's health, common vs normal symptoms of peri-menopause & menopause, how to know if Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is for you, and her top nutrition tips for hormonal balance.

Today we discuss the basics of meditation and the benefits many experience, as well as the difficulties people experience when practicing or trying to get into it. We have with us Ariel Garten, the co-founder of Muse, the home of a meditation headband created to assist you with focus and getting into your flow. Muse reads brainwaves and gives you audio feedback based on your thoughts, giving you storm sounds when you’re losing focus and calm, bird sounds when you’re able to maintain a focused state. Ariel tells us about the benefits of using the Muse Headband and why it can make meditation for you and everyone around you so much better.

“When your mind is stormy and you’re getting too caught up and frustrated by the storm, it just gets stormier and stomier, and then it really just intuitively teaches you this lesson of letting go of what’s bothering you, letting go of the friction, letting go of the resistance and allowing yourself to come to calm. And it becomes this beautiful, intuitive lesson to teach you one of the most poignant things about meditation, which is to accept and be OK with what is.” 24:03

When asked why women struggle with health, “It’s because we’ve been trained like men. It’s because all of our basic education on nutrition, on health and exercise and everything, and training. All of it was based off of a male body and we expect our own systems, which change every single week, to perform and execute everything, and have results like a male body, and we’re never educated fully on all the things that happen.”

In this insightful episode, we sat down with Chase Hudson, the founder of HempLucid, to dive deep into the world of cannabis and hemp products. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics, from Cannabis 101 to the fascinating intricacies of the endocannabinoid system, full-spectrum vs. broad-spectrum products, the critical importance of sourcing and quality, and even the emerging synergy between cannabis and functional mushrooms.

Chase Hudson is a founder of Hemplucid. He is dedicated to building a community of people looking for holistic solutions for a healthier lifestyle. He has a vision to help people elevate their health’. His mission to provide transparent and trusted products has led to his company being recognized by organizations such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and more. 

He lives everyday intuitively and adventurously, and aims to help others do the same. Chase Hudson started his career in the Fire Service. After 8 years in public service he decided to set out as an entrepreneur in 2015. Chase experienced the healing power of CBD and other plant medicines that inspired him to start HempLucid, a USDA Organic certified hemp-derived CBD company. Based in Provo, Utah, HempLucid has grown to become an industry-leading national wellness brand that has inspired thousands to take their health into their own hands. 

Chase and HempLucid invested in a passion project, the film Lamar Odom Reborn. During filming, Chase was introduced to etamine treatments as a modality for treating mental health, addiction, and other issues. Ketamine was so instrumental to Chase in his own healing journey that he wanted to make it available to the people at his company. With his Leadership team at HempLucid, Chase created a Corporate Mental Health Program that provides quarterly ketamine treatments in a clinical setting for interested HempLucid employees. Anecdotal (non-clinical) surveys indicate that these treatments have increased productivity and employees’ perceived well-being.

In this episode of the Biohacker Babes, we sit down with Dr. Robert Whitfield, a renowned plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, to dive deep into the topic of Breast Implant Illness. Dr. Whitfield breaks down what Breast Implant Illness (BII) is, its symptoms, and who may be at risk. We explore the common myths surrounding the condition, how to recognize the signs & symptoms, and why many patients experience frustration when seeking answers. We also discuss explant surgery--the process of removing implants--and its potential health benefits. Additionally, we unpack the role of mold toxicity, biofilms, and heavy metals, lesser known issues that can affect those with breast implants. Tune in for an informative conversation that sheds light on an important but often misunderstood issue affecting women today.

A plastic surgeon for over 25 years, Dr. Robert Whitfield previously specialized in working with cancer, burn, and critically ill patients, and reconstruction for breast, head, and neck. In 2016, one patient gave him a deeper purpose when she came into his clinic for a consultation regarding her existing breast implants and was battling a number of symptoms including headaches, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and much more. This led Dr. Whitfield on his path to helping women who suffer from Breast Implant Illness (BII) and to date, he has performed thousands of explant surgeries. Unique to his practice, Dr. Whitfield believes it is important to combine functional medicine as a core part of his work. He developed the SHARP method (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program), a series of protocols (testing, GI mapping, supplementation, nutritional counseling, etc.) to help reduce systemic inflammation and assist patients who are both preparing for or recovering from surgical procedures, cosmetic or otherwise.

Talia Ram joins the podcast to talk about one of the most overlooked biohacks for health optimization... lighting! With a wide variety of types of light exposure ranging from natural sunlight outdoors to artificial indoor lighting, she breaks down how it all impacts our health and what we can do about it.

Beautiful lighting has been a lifelong affair for Talia, who, as the daughter of Lumiram founders Corinne and Jacques Ram, grew up immersed in lighting. So it seemed a natural progression that four years ago, Talia joined the ranks as resident wellness lighting expert for the company, drawing on her intimate knowledge of the product and her 10 years of experience as a meditation and yoga teacher. Talia Ram is the resident wellness lighting expert of Lumiram. Lumiram is the original maker of neodymium glass light sources and has been a leader in full spectrum lighting since first opening its doors in Europe in 1959. Lumiram has been invested in filling homes and businesses with beautiful oases of pure uplifting light through their signature line of Chromalux® full spectrum neodymium glass bulbs. The original light bulb for health and well-being, the Chromalux® full spectrum lamp has been enhancing people's lives and the spaces they live in since it was first created in Finland over 40 years ago. A unique light source, Chromalux® bulbs filter out yellow and other dulling frequencies of the light spectrum, resulting in a purified light with enhanced violet, blue, green, and red tones. Chromalux® enhances colors, lessens eye strain, boosts vibrancy, and provides a striking pure white light. With Lumiram's exceptional product diversity and dedicated service to countless interiors nationwide — life is now as beautiful inside as it is on the outside.

Our guest this week, Matt Gallant, spent $45,000 to optimize his sleep and is sharing what he learned with us. 67% of Americans report frequent sleep issues and 43% say that these sleep issues impact their daily activities. Sleep deprivation and poor quality sleep are major issues today, primarily due to the 7 sleep disruptors Matt has discovered. He shares his top biohacks to overcome these disruptors, the pros and cons of sleep trackers, what you need to know about melatonin, and a deep dive into the top sleep nutrients that went into his latest sleep formula.

Matt Gallant is the CEO and Co-Founder of BiOptimizers and has a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. He’s been a strength and conditioning coach for multiple pro athletes, and a self-defense instructor, and has over 15 years of experience formulating supplements.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. David Prologo, a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. He shares the science behind why we tend to fail at diets and the importance of finding your "catching point" to achieve successful weight loss. His new book, The Catching Point Transformation: A 12-Week Weight Loss Strategy Based in Reality, comes from more than 2 decades of work in obesity medicine. Plus, his analogies make a complex health topic fun and easy to understand!

Dr. David Prologo is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. He has spent more than 20 years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition - why do diets always fail? More importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the patients for that failure? That journey led Dr. Prologo to perform first in human advanced interventional procedures to manage obesity, diabetes, and other medical conditions. It further led to the identification of the catching point - a clear pivot point beyond which calorie restriction and exercise are easier for patients. He has been recognized nationally and internationally for his work, including features on The Today Show, in the Washington Post, on Capitol Hill, in numerous peer-reviewed journal publications, countless web-based invited expert articles, and much more.

In this powerful episode, we interviewed Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority and best-selling author specializing in integrative cancer care and research. She breaks down the concept of a metabolic approach to cancer, explaining how this perspective views cancer not just as a genetic disease but as a metabolic dysfunction. She emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all cancer plan, highlighting the necessity of personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual needs. We also discuss the critical role of genetic testing, the profound mental-emotional connection to cancer, the "trifecta" of biomarkers to monitor closely, as well as practical advice and hope for those navigating the complexities of cancer care.

Dr. Nasha Winters is a global healthcare authority and best-selling author in integrative cancer care and research consulting with physicians around the world. She has educated hundreds of professionals in the clinical use of mistletoe and has created robust educational programs for both healthcare institutions and the public on incorporating vetted integrative therapies in cancer care to enhance outcomes. Dr. Winters is currently focused on opening a comprehensive metabolic oncology hospital and research institute in the US where the best that standard of care has to offer and the most advanced integrative therapies will be offered. This facility will be in a residential setting on a gorgeous campus against a backdrop of regenerative farming, EMF mitigation and retreat, as well as state of the art medical technology and data collection and evaluation to improve patient outcomes.

What happens when you put four biohackers on a podcast together? A really fun discussion, multiple perspectives on different health topics, and the best effective biohacks available today. Our discussion includes what we all eat for breakfast, fasting and circadian rhythm, the hot topic of mouth taping, and more! We had a blast chatting with our friends and fellow biohackers, Dr. Jay Wiles and Mollie McGlocklin, who have also been on our podcast before where we discussed Heart Rate Variability and sleep optimization in depth. If you're not familiar with these amazing experts, check out their bios below.

Dr. Jay Wiles is an international speaker, scientist, clinician, influencer, and subject-matter expert and authority on the interconnection between the human stress response and health performance/optimization. Dr. Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist with board certification in heart rate variability biofeedback and peripheral biofeedback and works as a leading consultant in psychophysiology to health influencers, professional athletes and teams, executives, and high performers. He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hanu Health. He has pioneered new and innovative means of using heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory training as both diagnostic indicators of the dynamic nature of the human stress response, alongside therapeutic tools for regulating and conditioning this response for peak human performance. Dr. Wiles has an extensive history of working with top-performing athletes in the PGA, LPGA, MLS, MLB, ATP, and WTA. His consulting firm, Thrive Wellness and Performance, has held contracts with leading biotechnology and health technology organizations where he has engaged in research, development of therapeutics, and development of behavioral retention programs. Dr. Wiles has operated as the cohost of the Ben Greenfield Podcast since 2019 and hosts the Hanu Health Podcast.

Mollie McGlocklin is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast. Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people’s sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn’t find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she’s now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep.

Thought leader and transformative psychiatrist Dr. Fred Moss joins the podcast for an inspiring conversation around what it means to be human and how to live an extraordinary life. He shares what is blocking many of us from our "true voice" and what is holding us back from being our authentic selves in life. Dr. Fred also provides insight into how conventional medicine may be perpetuating the problem and his perspective of how plant medicines may play a role in empowering people.

Dr. Fred Moss is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and a licensed psychiatrist who has served the mental health industry for nearly four decades. During that time he has consulted patients, practitioners, medical facilities, non-profit organizations, and community groups.

In 2006, Dr. Fred began taking a new approach with his patients, working with a chosen few to assist in reclaiming their lives from the clenched fists of psychiatric diagnoses and medication. Lo and behold, they reliably eventually improved, even to the point of their diagnoses actually disappearing. 

Dr. Fred has since dedicated his efforts to establishing his brand, Welcome To Humanity, as a "home base" for his work as a speaker, coach, and advisor as a "non-diagnosing psychiatrist." He also is an expert witness, specializing in psychiatric malpractice cases, and often centering around atrocities that can occur behind closed (locked) doors in nursing homes, hospitals, prisons and jails.

Dr. Fred is the host of the inspiring Welcome To Humanity podcast, a show that explores what it means to be human and how to live an extraordinary life. He is the author of Creative 8: Healing Through Creativity & Self-Expression.

Dr. Fred is married to his dream partner, Alexandra, and lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. He is the proud father of two beautiful children in Texas and is owned collectively by his 3 cats, Valentino, Despacito, and Winston.

We are back with another roundtable episode with our friends and fellow biohackers, Dr. Jay Wiles and Mollie Eastman! We discuss the consistency and accuracy of sleep trackers, and what WE do with our data each day. We also dive into a discussion on sleep & travel biohacks, designing the perfect "circadian-crafted day", as well as how to navigate sleep anxiety and other sleep disruptors.

Let's meet our guests!

He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hanu Health. He has pioneered new and innovative means of using heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory training as both diagnostic indicators of the dynamic nature of the human stress response, alongside therapeutic tools for regulating and conditioning this response for peak human performance. Dr. Wiles has an extensive history of working with top-performing athletes in the PGA, LPGA, MLS, MLB, ATP, and WTA.
