Optimize Lab Results with Genetics with Joe Cohen
In this episode, Teemu Arina meets Joe Cohen, CEO of SelfDecode, to discuss the complex nature of a purely data-driven approach to biohacking via genetic testing and various biomarkers.Joe recalls his biohacking journey, his trial-and-error approach, years of self-experimentation, following gurus (and then choosing not to do so anymore) and the incredible insights which led to him ultimately founding SelfDecode.SelfDecode is the only company in the world which directly provides their users with a holistic set of accurate health recommendations based on their genes. This allows them to take charge of their own healthcare with data-driven precision health decisions.In order to make the best health decisions, we must take all of our health data into account. Otherwise, we'll end up addressing individual problems or symptoms without looking at the whole picture. The problem is that there is just too much information for any human to analyze - this is where the power of AI comes in.This conversation was recorded in August 2024.Visit https://selfdecode.com and follow @mrbiohacker on Instagram to learn more!Check https://biohackersummit.com for upcoming events & tickets!Devices, supplements, guides, books & quality online courses for supporting your health & performance: https://biohackercenter.comKey moments and takeaways:00:00 Introduction by Teemu Arina01:23 Joe's biohacking journey & fighting 75 different health issues02:43 Getting into genetics, gaining knowledge and experience03:42 From healing to optimizing - but how?04:26 Referencing the best people in each category04:57 Optimize every realm possible05:53 Mood regulation matters07:14 You don't know where your limit is (until you test it)08:40 Joe's elevated neuroticism & anxiety09:28 Iterative improvements over 4 years10:56 Joe didn't consult a psychologist, only used supplements11:47 Mood is quite complex13:30 It's tough to talk to people with whom you don't share common interests14:39 Optimizing lab results and data15:52 Chromium as an example of a less immediately obvious supplement19:00 When biohacking becomes an obsession (but for Joe it's more of a hobby)19:49 Exercise and the adverse effects of blindly following guru advice21:38 Challenging the body in different ways23:15 Lab testing provides insights as you progress through your improvements24:31 Megadosing vitamin C27:16 Optimization cannot be done in isolation27:46 The consequences of overtraining31:27 Optimal is contextual33:33 You have to look at multiple biomarkers to get an accurate picture36:24 IVs: yes or no?38:23 Megadosing makes it easier to observe the effects of a specific compound40:15 Software algorithms can interpret your metrics and help you avoid mistakes41:51 What works for one person might not work for another44:22 It's hard to identify which particular supplement works best46:58 SelfDecode provides the tools which help you understand your results48:22 The industry is rife with sh*t technology50:04 Companies should leverage AI and build their own technology, but most don't54:37 Most software out there is just bad58:17 You can provide results from other labs, but it's best to use SelfDecode's own chip61:13 Most labs look for illness - but if longevity is the target, other metrics are more important64:04 Biohackers shouldn't just blindly believe what they read64:33 SelfDecode also has a GPT bot to help you interpret your data

Spermidine for Longevity with Leslie Kenny
In this episode, Leslie Kenny joins Dr. Olli Sovijärvi to discuss the various health benefits of Spermidine, its natural food sources, and recommended supplementation.Leslie Kenny is an Oxford-based entrepreneur born in California and a graduate of Berkeley and Harvard Business School. In her 30s, her life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with an array of autoimmune conditions - lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. Her doctors told her there was no cure and that they could only be managed with strong immunosuppressants.Raised with the mentality that it's best to work with your body's innate wisdom to heal itself, Leslie chose to instead support her immune system in its natural abilities. As well as becoming a certified health coach, Leslie began helping scientists at leading European universities, including the University of Oxford, to raise money for their health discoveries.It was at a meeting with one such scientist that she learned of a compound called spermidine. Because it was a natural and food-derived compound, not a drug that would bring in more money, no one was interested in promoting it. So with the support of esteemed University of Oxford scientists and doctors that make up our Board of Scientific and Clinical Advisors, Leslie launched Oxford Healthspan with its flagship product, the plant-derived spermidine supplement Primeadine®.Learn more about Leslie and Oxford Healthspan at https://www.oxfordhealthspan.com!This conversation was recorded in November 2023.Check https://biohackersummit.com for upcoming events & tickets!Devices, supplements, guides, books & quality online courses for supporting your health & performance: https://biohackercenter.comKey moments and takeaways:00:00 Introduction by Dr. Olli Sovijärvi01:25 Spermidine basics02:16 Micronutrients in semen02:53 Babies need spermidine, mothers lose hair04:02 It's not just about SAM-e05:41 Spermidine for recovery07:46 Natural food sources08:58 A healthy gut is crucial09:37 Bacteria that make Spermidine10:32 Top 3 food sources14:00 Chlorella as a source of spermidine15:18 The optimal dose17:02 Avoiding anti-nutrient dense foods, alternative diets20:30 Long term effects, hallmarks of aging22:39 The Goldilocks Zone and fertility25:50 Other benefits of spermidine & Primeadine28:00 The Salvage Pathway of polyamines29:41 When should you start supplementing?

Dietary Paradigms with Wade Lightheart

Dietary Paradigms with Wade Lightheart
In this episode, Teemu Arina sits down with expert nutritionist Wade Lightheart who, together with Matt Gallant, founded BIOptimizers and wrote The Ultimate Nutrition Bible. They discuss various approaches to discovering, analyzing and fine-tuning a person's individual optimal diet through testing and controlled experimentation.Many currently established paradigms are based on misconceptions, assumptions, influencer-generated trends and, quite simply, the lack of proper data. As such, dietary choices are often based on generic cliché paths towards desired outcomes such as weight loss, when in fact there is no universally healthy diet especially in regard to maintaining a long healthspan. What works and is sustainable for one person may be harmful to another due to differences in genetics and gut health, which Wade illustrates by juxtaposing his own plant-based diet with Matt Gallant's ketogenic approach and providing various other examples as he explains his concept of the Pyramid of Nutritional Decisions.Learn more about Wade, Matt and BiOptimizers at https://www.bioptimizers.com!This presentation was recorded in November 2023.Check https://biohackersummit.com for upcoming events & tickets!Devices, supplements, guides, books & quality online courses for supporting your health & performance: https://biohackercenter.comKey moments and takeaways:00:00 Introduction by Teemu Arina01:10 Wade Lightheart's journey6:45 The Tribalistic Mosh Pit of Diets8:10 Biohacker's Handbook and Quality of Ingredients9:40 Dietary Paradigms as Monocultures13:00 Limitations Imposed by Various Diets17:55 Every Diet Change Works For A Limited Time20:35 Testing, Goals and the Aspect of Longevity24:55 You Are Your Own Best Nutrition Expert26:10 Different Diet Goals by Age26:50 Cultural and Societal Impositions on Dietary Restrictions30:00 "Cheat Days" AKA re-feeding33:00 Superfood and Upgraded Beverages35:35 Nutrigenomics: Choosing Optimal Food Sources36:55 Histamine vs. Mediterranean Diet39:13 Foundational Aspect & Performance Aspect of Diets40:15 Research Is Often Based on Incoherent Selection of Test Candidates41:18 The Importance of Verifying Individual Genetic Food Requirements43:43 Supplementing for Dietary Experimentation: Probiots, Gluten Guardian46:05 The Story Behind BIOptimizers Kapex47:08 The Biohacker Summit Gathers The World's Foremost Dietary Experts48:54 How Gut Health Influences Cognitive Health53:58 Civilization Has Become a Biological Stressor54:53 Indigenous Tribes and Connection to Nature57:16 Modern Culture Changed the Makeup of the Food We Eat; GMO60:05 Maintaining Balance & Flexibility in Dietary Choices62:28 There is no Silver Bullet, but Testing is Now Easily Accessible64:48 Nutrition is Technology Interacting with Your Body's Technology
