Boundless Life
Optimizing Health with Innovative Solutions
This chapter explores effective fitness strategies and introduces the Carol Bike for efficient workouts, along with Joy Mode for enhancing sexual health. It also discusses the importance of mineral supplementation, the benefits of Beam Mineral Supplements, and addresses audience questions on sleep aids and their effects on sleep quality.
The “Kentucky Castle” is a unique destination hotspot with a full biohacking facility, sauna, farm-to-table restaurant, precision medicine arm, hemp farm, horse facilities, and much more. It is owned by one of the physicians who hosts the “Wild Health” podcast, on which I was recently a guest.
Recently, at the castle, I had the pleasure of giving a talk on how to hack your biology and get the most out of the genetics you were born with. Afterward, I took part in a Q&A with several of the physicians in attendance at the conference. On today's podcast, part two of this two-part series (click here to listen to part one), you'll get to sit in on this very interesting discussion. Enjoy!
