Teemu Arina, author of Biohacker's Handbook and one of the movement’s pioneers, believes biohacking may have lost its way. In this episode, he lays out a different approach to longevity. He argues that extreme health routines often do more harm than good, and that true well-being comes from adaptability, not rigid optimization. Teemu also shares why AI-driven personal health plans could replace cookie-cutter protocols, and how we can rethink aging as a balance between discipline and enjoying life. If you’re tired of endless supplement stacks and prescriptive morning routines, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what actually works.
