Welcome to the Diet Doctor Podcast with Dr. Brett Scher. Today it's my pleasure to be joined

by Dr. John Lamansky, Biohacker MD. Now John's story is a story that's not that uncommon.

He was very healthy and active and competing in triathlons or at least he thought he was healthy.

And then he found out maybe not so that he was actually pre-diabetic.

And this was in his 20s, so pretty young for that to happen.

And that set him on this course of becoming a biohacker,

which he'll define for us because it has a lot of different terms.

But basically he learned how to use nutrition to heal himself

and then try to use that as a doctor to heal others.

And it's a fascinating journey that he's had.

So I hope you appreciate his story.

And along the way we're going to pick up some tips

about how we can incorporate his lessons into our lives

to make things easier and what it means to be a biohacker,

what that means for nutrition and for sun exposure,

and when that can go a little too far,

because I think that's really important to keep in reference

that a lot of the things we see in terms of biohacking

are expensive and of questionable utility.

So John's going to help us kind of figure some of that out

and figure out how to evaluate that.

So it was a great discussion.
