Bio Alchemy: The Spiritual Biohacking Podcast

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.   BARUKAS NUTS: https://barukas.com/ SUPERLIFE BOOK: https://amzn.to/2Y1F2nx  SUPERLIFE: http://superlife.com/  DARIN ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/superlifeliving/   CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

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.   CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

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!   Shilajit fulvic acid compound (https://amzn.to/2X7RUrV) Pine pollen (https://amzn.to/2tqzMvW) Ashwagandha (https://amzn.to/2BFrrca)   Reishi (https://amzn.to/2X8tQVS) Chaga (https://amzn.to/2Gv74m3) Lion's Mane (https://amzn.to/2EgheEJ) Creatine (https://amzn.to/2u1okad)   CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

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.

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.   STUDY — Negative effect of weak wireless signal on krill: http://jeb.biologists.org/content/early/2016/03/24/jeb.132878 STUDY — Electromagnetic radiation and cell death: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25333897  MY HEADPHONES: https://amzn.to/2HiQpBL AIR TUBE HEADSET: https://amzn.to/2VJUYcm    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

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.   CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

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.   CONNECT WITH KYLE INSTAGRAM: @KyleMaynard | https://www.instagram.com/kylemaynard TWITTER: @KyleMaynard | https://twitter.com/kylemaynard WEBSITE: http://kyle-maynard.com "NO EXCUSES" BOOK: https://amzn.to/2mAE92Q    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Prepare your ear holes for the first in a special two-part interview with adventurer, author, speaker, athlete and incredibly inspiring human being by the name of Kyle Maynard (http://kyle-maynard.com).  Over the last few years I've opened myself up more to the idea of fate directing my life, or at least pushing me in the right direction, and I've come to definitely believe my meeting and discussion with Kyle is one directed by the fates, or the gods, or whatever you want to call it. After a chance meeting with his friend Lexi at a Wal-Mart in Joshua Tree, California last year, I came to learn later after we initially connected that Kyle was a mere few miles away at the time. So when he offered an interview, I jumped at the chance without hesitation. Kyle was born a quadruple congenital amputee, meaning his arms and legs end near the elbows and knees. However his spirit has pushed him to pursue a truly extraordinary life. Kyle has competed as an MMA athlete, achieved champion status in wrestling, became the first quadruple amputee to summit mount Kilimanjaro (the tallest free-standing mountain on Earth) without the aid of prosthetics, modelled for Abercrombie & Fitch, as well as been a guest on Oprah, Tim Ferriss' podcast, and featured in just about every media outlet on the planet that matters. In this first part, we cover a range of topics from philosophy, to optimising your health, why Kyle believes human connection is so important, some of the pitfalls of what the internet is doing to harm our connection with others and the world, his near-death experience on the top of a frozen mountain, the teachers that are all around you, and so much more. This is part one of a two-part interview, with the second part launching this coming Monday. In the second episode, Kyle talks about his experiences with plant medicine or psychedelics, which is the first time he's ever discussed this topic in a public forum. Stay tuned for that.   CONNECT WITH KYLE INSTAGRAM: @KyleMaynard | https://www.instagram.com/kylemaynard TWITTER: @KyleMaynard | https://twitter.com/kylemaynard WEBSITE: http://kyle-maynard.com "NO EXCUSES" BOOK: https://amzn.to/2mAE92Q    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

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.

Technology is a wonderful thing, and can enable us in most cases to live easier, and happier lives. But technology isn't always something that enables us to leave healthier lives, especially in this modern age of radiation, EMF, and so on. However, today's guest will share with you a method of healing that stands out from the crowd, that cam be extremely beneficial in so many ways. In this episode, I'm talking to one of the founders of Joovv, Justin Strahan. Joovv is probably the world's most well-known manufacturer of red light therapy devices, or photobiomodulation machines if you want to get technical. An engineer, Justin started Joovv as a way to help with muscle recovery and skin health, though through the wonders of science, we know so much more about the benefits of this modality today. Justin and I discuss a range of topics relating to photobiomodulation and Joovv, including some of the reasons Joovv was started, the benefits of this technology on your biology, beneficial effects on the body that weren't intended when Justin and his team founded Joovv, what you need to know about EMF when using Joovv, how you can boost testosterone using red light therapy, increasing your collagen production and skin health, powerful post-exercise recovery, and so much more.

Ever found it difficult to meditate, let your mind relax, or focus? You're not alone. And despite how little many people know about conquering these simple and widespread annoyances of the mind, there are an incredible array of tools that exist to help us biohack our mental state, and more easily meditate, get into flow, and produce more output when we sit down to work. And the best part is, some of the tools that can help us achieve this are truly effortless. In today's solo episode, I discuss the topic of Binaural Beats technology, and two effective and cheap tools that use this technology to enable us to do things like drop into meditation without any effort, focus more easily when at work, relax the brain and reduce stress, help with falling asleep much easier, and so much more. The two tools I reference in this episode are Holosync which I still use occasionally for my meditation practice, and Brain.fm, which I use almost on a daily basis to this day. Although Binaural Beats technology is fairly simple in how it works by tricking the brain using an auditory illusion into changing the brainwaves that are being produced, the results couldn't be less simple in terms of the increased levels of wellbeing, productivity, and sleep quality this technology can afford you.

These days, biohacking your mind is just as common as tinkering with your body, and joining me today to talk about exactly that is Gregory Kelly ND of Neurohacker Collective. The head product formulator for this company — most well-known for producing the Qualia Mind stack — Greg has decades of experience in natural medicine, and using organic compounds to allow us to perform in a way we may not have ever thought possible. If you've ever seen the movie Limitless with Bradley Cooper, but maybe weren't sure what a nootropic is, this film gives the "Hollywood" description of what these compounds can do. However, as Greg and I will discuss, unfortunately yet, we're not at the level where we can design a nootropic that can make us all overnight millionaires, or produce a flawless memory, though that doesn't mean we don't already have compounds that can do some pretty impressive things. Nootropics are extremely common in the world today, with people turning to things like Modafinil, Adderal, or even pain-old caffeine to upgrade the performance of their brains. Nootropics are gaining an increased level of awareness due to things like a higher level of competition in the business world, and technology allowing us to wring more out of our minds to get an edge.   CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/    LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?
