WEBVTT - What is Bio Hacking? 🔎 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:06.880 Get everyone Sam here. We have a really interesting guest 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.959 coming in today, a guy by the name of Lucas 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.520 who is a biohacker. So he's got a business called 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.279 boost Your Biology, and it's really interesting. Even saying this 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:22.880 to you now before we meet Lucas, I'm still. 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.520 Not really sure what a bio hacker is. 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.880 So we're going to go on an exploration and we're 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.600 going to find that out together. But you know, I'm 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.200 really interested in all these little one percenters or five 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.160 percenters or a little ways out there that you can 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.839 make improvements, particularly if it's in a sphere or a 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.040 space that I'm not an expert in. I'm really sort 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.360 of fascinating the way I dive down these little rabbit holes. 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.320 And you know, for me, I think, and I'll have 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.040 this discussion with Lucas when he comes in. I tend 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.720 to think sometimes that biohacking, in inverted commas and these 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.720 kind of hacks can sometimes be just hooks or tricks 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.040 to grab you or get you in or perhaps take 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:03.280 advantage of unsuspected the uneducated people, and the actual substance 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.280 to what these people are talking about is questionable. Whereas 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.880 this guy really in my mind seems to really know 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.280 what he's talking about. Really interesting space, and I can't 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.120 wait to dive into it with him, and we're going 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.080 to dive into it together. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.800 So that is what's coming up. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.600 First of all, on today's Wodlife episode, We've got a 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.240 question that had come through regarding you know, I've seen 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.280 his person on TikTok and are they right or are 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.720 they wrong? Or you know, should I be wary about 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.240 this stuff? So we're going to dive into that who 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.480 you should trust or how you should perhaps cast some 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.080 criteria over the people that you're listening to to sort 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.080 of decipher whether they are or aren't. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:38.960 The right person for you. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:40.880 And then I'm going to give you a little list 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.240 of some of my favorites for you to look out 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.280 for and maybe follow them on socials or go to 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.120 their website because there's some brilliant information out there from 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.160 some brilliant people and it's a. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.760 Great opportunity to share that information. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:02:15.160 So that's coming up next on The Goodlife. 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:19.720 So here he is. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.480 He's in the studio, Lucas Owen. Welcome to the wood Life. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.920 I'll just give your heads up, mate, because before you 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.480 popped into the studio. I just gave my listeners a 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.400 bit of a heads up that you're a biohacker, and 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.919 I don't really know what a biohacker is, so I'm 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.960 kind of learning with the listeners today, so I'll give 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.000 them a little bit of a background. So you've got 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.080 a business called Boost your Biology. You're this globally recognized biohacker. 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:44.920 You're on so for those that have never heard of 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.079 Ben Greenfield's he'd be considered in the top three biohackers 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.720 in the world. You were a guest on his podcast 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.560 a couple of years ago and your business sort of 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:53.519 took off into. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.679 The stratosphere since then. 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.280 A lot of people I've heard talk about you as 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.320 kind of the author on supplements and in Australia, probably 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.880 the guy that knows the most about supplements, particularly the 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.359 less common supplements. Maybe got a degree into tropathy. You're 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.600 a Melbourne based guy, so welcome to. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:12.200 The wood life. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.880 I mean, it's sincerely when I say two things, it's 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:15.639 great to have you here. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:16.520 And what's a biohacker? 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.560 Oh? Thanks, Sam, Well, that's a warm introduction. Ball Yeah, 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.519 pretty much. That's what I love to do, is create 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:27.160 health information and health content that's gonna reach millions of 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.200 people and just provide really cutting edge bio hacks that 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.800 can benefit numerous people around the world. And so, like 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.480 you said before, most people probably hear about the term biohacker. Yeah, 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:39.920 and they think, you know, what is that? 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.280 Yeah? I don't really even know. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:43.960 And I've been on this to twenty five years, so 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.560 a lot of errands you'll be like, what is it. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.160 Well, for your audience, I'd say like a lot of 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.400 them might be familiar with Andrew Huberman Andrew Human, Yes, 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.440 so I'd say like he's like the leader in that 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.800 sort of health optimization space, and so bi hacking is 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:05.040 all encompassing looking at nutrition, sleep, stress management, exercise, things 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.200 like that to basically improve and optimize your health and 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:08.680 well being. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.080 So I love Andrew because he shuts people down, He 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:17.320 destroys peanuts on the internet, giving people really bad misinformation, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.120 and he with all these degrees and his wealth of knowledge, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.039 and he's just the best. 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:23.559 Goes. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.760 Okay, let's have a look at what this guy's telling 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.919 people to sell a crap product, and let's put flames 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.080 on this because it's just it irks him that this 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.560 person's trying to take advantage of people, make money by 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.800 giving people misinformation, and then he gives them the correct information. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:39.680 And I love that. 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.080 How did you sort of get into this by a 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.080 hacking space, Like, what's your story? 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:44.320 I think? 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.159 I think that's that's interesting to find out. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.039 Yeah, well, I always had a goal to be a 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.719 professional soccer player, so I was very interested in ways 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.599 your own benefits those one exactly. Yeah, that's interested in 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.520 ways that I could optimize my performance on the soccer field. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.720 At the time, I was working in my dad's pharmacy, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.000 So my dad's are farcists, so I was sort of 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.080 exposed to that side of like, you know, medications and 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.920 how they work and understanding things like that. And really 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.000 I just fell in love with the whole idea of 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:19.520 self experimentation and understanding various pathways within the body, understanding 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:25.200 you know, the biological consequences of different supplements, different nutrition hacks. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.640 And then I decided, well, hang on a lot of 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.680 the things that I'm doing right now is literally in 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.080 line with what a natural path focuses on, which is 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.960 like the root cause, you know, addressing diet, addressing sleep, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.120 all of the foundations that we see as like preventative 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.120 health was very much in line with how I was 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.560 living and also preaching. So I had the choice of 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.560 going down the path of either you know, becoming a 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.240 pharmacist like my dad, or going down more of the 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.560 natural holistic route, and I chose the natural holistic route. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.360 Do you still only stay in that lane or now 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:01.600 you're a bit more open to both. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:02.800 I'm very open to both. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:03.640 Yeah, I tell you were. 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.000 Yeah. The goal is to like, we're trying to achieve 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.599 optimal health. What is the best tool in our toolkit 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.800 to do that. It might be a medication which is 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.680 a single handed, targeted approach, or it might be a 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.400 lifestyle intervention that's more of a broad having a broad 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.840 effect sort of thing. But yeah, I'm definitely like yourself, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.320 like sort of in the middle. I like to leverage both. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.159 If I have to refer clients to a higher level 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.440 specialist or a doctor, I will do that where I 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:32.840 see fit. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.080 And it's really interesting. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.520 I mean, I get people love the one percenters because 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.200 it's sometimes a great scapegoat to not address the real 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.960 foundational issues, you know, like I don't exercise, I don't 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.560 eat well, I don't sleep. But Sam, what's credatine, Like 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.440 you know, it's like, well, it's good and it will help, 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.320 but you don't really even work out yet, or you know, 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.240 your diet's horrendous, you know, like I don't think you 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.719 need to worry about ice baths and creatine yet. You 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.920 know it's so there's got to build the foundation first, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.400 don't you. Like, if you've got your fundamentals down, pat 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.520 and you're a good you're a really solid, consistent eight 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.480 out of ten, Well let's become a nine and a 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.920 half out of ten by building other layers with these 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.000 beautiful little biohacks for optimal health. 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.080 Yeah, that's well said. I mean, that's definitely the approach 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.840 that I like to enforce is like, yeah, make sure 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.520 you dial in the basics first, and then you can 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.200 come to me, have a look at my content binge 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.920 on my staff, and then you get the one percent. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:30.560 Is what's the biggest misconception about biohacking that you experience? 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.480 So the biggest one is whether or not biohacking is 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.640 evidence based, whether or not it's actually legitimate, or whether 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.800 or not it's like placebo, which is a fair statement. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.960 A lot of people like, oh, what you do that 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.360 but is there any research behind that, does it even 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.000 prove that it works? And I say, sure, like that's 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.720 my mission has always been to showcase things that are literally, 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.160 like scientifically backed and proven and dig deep for the 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.000 research articles. And now Fortune League guys like doctor Andrew 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.240 Hopeman's legitimizing the things that are somewhat fringe. He's like 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.280 actually saying these things actually do have some robust evidence. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.160 So I just wanted to give everyone it's a bit 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.000 of a background because I think there would be some cynical, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.800 skeptical people out there that naturally and I think it's 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.440 important to sort of show them that there's a there's 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.040 a real level of trust here. And I wouldn't have 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.920 got you on the show otherwise. What's happening in the 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.120 world of bio hacking, what are the what's the biggest 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:29.760 trend at the moment? And if you had to look 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.080 into your crystal ball for let's say twenty twenty five, 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.160 what's going to be the thing now that everyone's talking 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.800 about that very few people are now. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.280 And that's two questions in one. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.800 Well, I would say I love the question because I 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.040 love being on the cutting edge of what's new in 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.360 the forefront of science and supplements and things like that. 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.920 The one space I'm really excited to see more, Like 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.120 what I think will be really popular in twenty twenty 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:58.040 five ish will be the field of psychobiotics, So specific 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.040 probiotics that work on you know how they say the 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.480 gut is the second brain, like that sort of saying, 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.360 or specific probiotics that can affect the brain and significantly 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.360 affect various aspects of cognition. So whether that be like. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:16.280 And they're personalized to the individual based on their personality. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.760 Type or based upon their microbiome, right, yeah, because that 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:25.080 field is like probably the most heavily invested space. Yeah, microbiome. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.360 Okay, got health brain health connection. I love that. So 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.160 what did you call it? Psychobotics? Yeah? 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:32.599 They call them psychobiotics. 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.640 So well, yeah, I knew there'd be something that I'd 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.640 never heard. I'd never heard the term. I mean, I 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.679 get the concept. Principally, I understand the concept. But there 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.200 you go look, look and listen and learn. Is there 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.520 an authority in that space that you look up to 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:48.120 at the moment. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.840 There is a guy called Jason Horolek. He has a 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:56.280 website called probotic Advisor dot com. So he's a great resource. Interesting, 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:57.960 I've had him on my podcast a couple of times. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.520 Right, great resource, let's check that out. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.720 I always think the best test is what do you. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:10.600 Do religiously that you are shocked or it frustrates you 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.439 that very few Australian people do and you think their nuts. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:14.920 To not be doing it? 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.280 All right, So it would have to be wearing blue 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.920 blocking glasses before bedtime? Okay, simple, such a basic bar 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:23.600 check for. 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.120 How as in while you're on your screen, or you 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.120 put them on and lie down and not look at 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:29.680 any screens. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.480 So I usually put them on at like six thirty 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.720 seven PM and. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:33.400 Just wear them around. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.520 You might look like like an X man, just cruise 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:37.760 around the house. I love it. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.960 I love it. My kids would dress up with that. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:40.600 I would love that. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.560 I'm telling you. I'm telling you it'll be like X 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:43.960 men at my house. Would be very cool. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.080 So you say you go to bed at ten o'clock. Yep, 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.480 you're cooking dinner. You're wearing your glasses. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.319 Don't know if the steaks are over on that that's right. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:53.920 I was gonna say, you gotta lift them out just 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.200 to check the check the food's been cooked. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.080 Correctly. And what's the benefit. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.520 Of these The main benefit is improved sleep, yeah, right, 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.160 And the way in which they work is basically they 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.679 filter out the blue light and the blue light blue 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.680 slash white spectrum of light is what blocks the production 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.360 of malatonin. And so instead of we just overstimulate ourselves 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.480 right to that second that our head hits the pillow, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.080 we're doing ourselves a huge disservice with the quality of 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.400 our sleeps. Yeah. And you see, the main complaint of 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.120 Aussies and even like us citizens is lack of energy, 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.600 and so lack of energy comes off fatigue or they 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.400 can't get up with our coffee. Like it's sleep is 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:34.880 a high priority. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.400 Yeah, I mean for those that can't see Lucus obviously, 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:44.920 because we're an audio medium, very very healthy fit well 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.160 like how. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:46.720 Old have you done my math? 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:47.200 Twenty seven? 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.760 Yeah, I mean like he just he's beaming, like his face, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.520 he's skin like everything. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:53.680 He looks like it's. 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.920 One of the healthiest human beings you'll ever sort of 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.560 come across. So where do we get these glasses? 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.040 First of all, so there's a already of vendors, just 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.600 one on there's Anussy vendor block blue light dot com. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.240 Dot blue light. Okay, there you go. Their business has 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.520 just gone through the roof bank. I love it. I 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:10.040 love it. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.959 So I've never I've never done that, never done that. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.760 Yeah, so that's a good one. That's like a sleep biohack. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.720 I'm just sort of thing, what are your top couple 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.000 that you do? 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:24.160 And so I'd say something basic that's like, I'm not 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.719 really a bihack, but it sort of took off during 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.800 the COVID period, which is like walking, treadmill desk. Yeah, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.240 so just getting on the trip, like getting steps in 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.480 walking work. Yeah, it's so underrated. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.679 And this I guess this is the thing with hacks. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.240 It would be so fascinating to hear our. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.720 Audience share that they would not call themselves bio hackers. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.920 They probably wouldn't even call these things hacks. It's just 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:45.559 I just do that because it. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:46.880 Makes me feel better, exactly. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.600 Yeah, And we'd all have ten little things that perhaps 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.080 we don't even realize that we do. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.600 Getting up in the morning is ideally within the first hours, 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.280 getting exposed to sunlight or some sort of light like 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.760 that's a it's so base, but like surprisingly that can 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.600 have such a profound effect on mood, energy, well being, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.160 and also helping sleep that night because if you deliberately 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.160 expose your face to sunlight in the morning within one hour, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.960 it actually helps with that nighttime secretion of malatonin. So 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.200 you'll see. That's the other thing with the bar hacking 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:24.240 space is like sometimes we get extremely meticulous with tracking 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.560 like health trackers, a HIV. 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.880 See you're a big fan of whoops and all these other. 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.600 Things to a degree, like I want to be like, 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.440 I don't want them to dictate my life, you know, 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.680 because otherwise, you know, you'll fall victim to tech dominating 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.719 your like it. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.880 Having passed you by, and you'll be you'll be delved 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.360 into your dashboard exactly, you'll miss it all. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.520 Yeah, it can be good as like a short term thing. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:49.920 You might say I want to wear I want to 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.720 wear a whoop or something, or an ordering for like 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:57.439 three months, learn about the data, and then divorced, get divorce. 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.760 Can't take the thing. It's too much. It's become a 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:02.640 part of it. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.480 Even am accounting calorie perspective, Like I'm not a huge 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.880 calorie account advocate because I do think it becomes an 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.640 unhealthy obsession with that thinking your food as a number 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.880 rather than the nutritional value. But if you have zero 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.040 idea what calorie intake is in most foods, it can 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.760 be a really worthwhile four week exercise exactly. Yeah, we're 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.400 on the same page. What about what about the differences 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.560 for men and women? Like, are there are there hacks 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.360 that you typically would only recommend to a female or 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.840 typically only recommend to a male, or or most of 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.640 the time it is this will improve this will create 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.280 optimal health, or put you closer to optimal health for everybody. 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.360 Well, there's one thing that's absolutely a fact, and that 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:47.160 is that, like women are heavily neglected in clinical trials 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:51.720 and scientific studies. There's like they why, It's due to 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.240 their hormonal balance, like their mental cycle. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.720 So as a consequence, does that mean females are missing 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.440 out on some hack specific to them because the results 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.200 are biased towards men. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.720 That's possible. It's also like when it comes to like 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.280 dosages for different stuffs, think about they've all done it 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.400 on men who are usually like between the weight of 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.760 like even the weight aspect is yeah, usually like that. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.920 So yeah, I think but in general, like the things 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.680 that I talk about mostly and this is I decided 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.720 to pivot about two years ago when my brother came 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.920 on board and helped with my branding and stuff like that. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.200 He said, look, you're good at you're great at sharing 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.920 health hacks across like for everyone, but you need to 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.880 really niche down. And that's when I decided to go 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.840 purely men's health and optimize men. And that's like an 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.360 area because I can relate to them and I've studied 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.640 that more. Plus I prefer to refer women to some 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:55.400 other brilliant sure like women like better understand exactly. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:56.760 Yeah, which is great. Yeah. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.160 I mean if you try to be everything to everyone, 0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:59.520 you end up being nothing to know one. I'm a 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.720 big fan that for sure. It's what's the because you've 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.640 got this supplement reputation. There's still a supplement reputation. You 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:12.400 remissied me to not finish with the question what supplement 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.920 or you can have two. I'll give you no more 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:19.560 than two. What supplements do you take if not daily, 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.600 weekly and you. 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:25.560 Swear by them without thinking twice? It's the amino acid touring. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.640 Right, Okay, there you go, so that I love that. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.640 I thought you might say something really common and I 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.160 was like, interesting, but it's not. It's not new for 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.040 our audience, So turing okay, tell us about touring. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.880 So the reason why I'm a big fan of tourene 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.200 is because it will help with so many areas, just 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.520 like we see that from like magnesium. So like magnesium 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.640 is a common one. You've got the basics like magnesium, 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.840 vitamin d Omega three's. You might have some other minerals 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.600 in there, maybe iron or B twelve and B vitamins. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.720 But I think tourene deserves a spot in your supplement cabinet. 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.080 And the reason for that is because it does so 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.359 many things. Number One, it will help to reduce muscle 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.919 soreness from exercise, so reducing DOMS, which is a common 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.840 complaint amongst people who exercise and the people that I 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.040 work with, so doms. Number Two, it has a really 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:21.320 potent anti anxiety action in the brain. So there's some 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.359 pretty good research to suggest that at high doses of 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.520 tourine we're looking at around three to five grams, it 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.600 has a really profound effect on the Gabba system in 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.840 the brain, which is essentially how alcohol works in the brain. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:41.520 That's why people utilize alcohol to reduce anxiety or increase. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.320 This can do that the detrimental effects that alcohol. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.720 Yeah, it comes with I've literally I've had people come 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.320 to me saying, hey, Lucas, what do you recommend for 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.439 a night out. I don't want to drink, but I 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.679 want to be like socially fluent, like verbally fluent, and 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.320 they are social lubrication. I call is a stack. So 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.600 stuck with like tourine alph and aline, which is another amino. 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.440 I said, like that concoction there will do a pretty 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.879 good job of getting not making you feel buzzed, but 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.440 making you feel more socially confident, fascinating. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.679 And it's just powder form with water, is that? 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:17.160 Yeah? 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:17.800 Yeah? Right? 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.360 So I had like even before today's podcast, I had 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:21.520 like five grams before this. 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:22.520 Because I'm very nervous. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.160 There's a you know that the quote more smart, more 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.720 so mortine. Yeah, I say, more smart, more safe tory. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:31.280 There you go. 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.760 I love that our listeners are not going to forget that. 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:35.720 That's brilliant, mate. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.760 Just before I let you go, first of all, where 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:39.919 can people find you. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.720 So they can search boost your biology? 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.280 Boost your biology dot com? 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:45.399 Ye dot com love it? 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.320 And you mentioned that you're specializing in men.

Is there a particular 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.600 bio hacker that you'd love to give a bit of 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:58.200 a plug too? 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.080 So doctor Miranda Mile, Okay, she was one of my lecturers. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.240 She's a great resource for women's health. 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.960 Beautiful session.
