In this episode, I take you through a solo Q&A exploring topics like the best sauna practices, the real benefits of walking 7,000 steps a day, and the latest research on gut health treatments—including my personal experience starting a fecal microbiota transplant for chronic issues. How perceived food sensitivities can sometimes create real symptoms, clear up concerns about ketone supplements and liver health, and emphasize the importance of staying active throughout the day. I also mention my biohacking binder and let you know all the resources, studies, and tools I recommend will be linked in the show notes for anyone wanting more details.
You’ll gain access to my complete binder of home biohacking tools and gadgets designed to support long-term health and performance (click here to start exploring).
