Jan 15, 2023

Alex Demirel is a biohacking coach, content creator and founder of Goldilox.

Biohacking is this new prominent term in the wellbeing, mental health, productivity and fitness spheres. But, what is it?

In this episode, Alex uses his own journey to demonstrate the immense effects that optimising your biology has for your life outcomes.

We explore many facets of life that make up our daily routines including sleep, sunlight, stress, screentime, sex and solitude. I swear it’s not deliberate that they all begin with S.

Find out:

Why it is better to optimise your evening routine instead of having a lavish morning routine

Why you should cut out your morning coffee

What your circadian rhythm is and why were biological tuned to sunrise and sunset

Why people dont lack focus but lack solitude

Why sleep is the lowest hanging fruit to improving your quality of life

Why sound, temperature and noise is the biggest determining factor of sleep quality

What effects Porn has on your sex life

How to optimise your digital workflow for productivity

and why Alex once trained with a dog shock collar - haha!

Thank you Alex for a great episode.
