The body is far more powerful and efficient than the world's top supercomputers. And yet, most intelligence does not originate from the brain, but rather first is processed in the other brains and centers in the body first.

The anti-aging/longevity industry changes fast so I brought on Ryan Smith, a biological aging expert, for a second round. In this one, we discuss some of the most promising emerging trends.
Meet our guest
Ryan Smith attended Transylvania University and graduated with a degree in Biochemistry. After finishing all the educational curriculum and passing USMLE Step 1 he decided to leave and open up a pharmacy in the United States that focused on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations.
That pharmacy, Tailor Made Compounding, became the 4th fastest growing company in healthcare in the US. During that time Ryan invested in several businesses in functional medicine space. Ryan exited Tailor Made in late 2020.
Since then, Ryan has opened many businesses including TruDiagnostic, a company focusing on methylation array-based diagnostics for life extension and preventive healthcare.
TruDiagnostic is a CLIA certified lab and health data company focused on serving integrative and functional medicine providers in the United States.

I called myself a "biohacker" for over a decade.
Over the last few years, I started feeling uneasy about the term and where the industry is going. From my studies of effective ancient cultures and modern medical systems yielding the greatest results, I coined a new movement I call "bioharmony".
Thank you to our partners

Key takeaways
Bioharmonization is the more effective and safer alternative to biohacking
Amplifying—rather than opposing—the body's functions, processes, and systems improves your quality of life over the long-term
We can rule out placebo effects via self-quantification (HRV biofeedback, EEG brain wave sensing, kinsiotesting, etc) or by testing forms of life more immune to placebo (babies, plants, animals)

Clean eating can take time, money, and bore your tastebuds.
Luckily, there's a better way. In this chat with Asher Cowan, we discuss the art of food preparation; easy swaps to make junk food healthy and tasty; the discrepancy between science showing the health benefits of seed oil and the actual results; and some ancestral food tips.
Meet our guest
Asher grew up in New Hampshire and played a lot of sports in his youth.He played basketball at Clark University where he studied Economics and Entrepreneurship.
After college, he worked as a consultant and financial analyst but quickly became disillusioned with living the "corporate" life. He decided to combine two passions of his, health food and entrepreneurship, and co-found Dr. Cowan's Garden.
They started by launching a line of vegetable powders, before expanding into kitchen staples, like grains and legumes, sprouted nuts and nut butters, sprouted granolas, cold-pressed seed oils, packaged meat, and ghee.

Wednesday Nov 02, 2022
Looking good matters. Those that take care of themselves are not only perceived as more attractive (obviously), but also enjoy additional luxuries, higher status, and more.
Did you know that your skin health directly impacts your longevity and even performance? I brought on someone that's not only well involved in the beauty industry, but is well-steeped in the science and a fellow biohacker.

The only skincare products you'll ever need (code NICKURBAN saves 20%)
Key takeaways
The skin is not only a mirror of your biological age but drives aging
The highest concentration of senescent cells exist in the skin, and they impact your longevity the most
Senescent cell burden is the only tenant of aging that impacts all the others
100% natural skincare products without stabilizers and other additives will have oxidized and become useless (or worse) long before you use them
Use a quality mineral (physical) rather than a chemical-based sunscreen
