Welcome to the Superhumanize Podcast, where the quest to uplift our body, mind, and spirit takes us on explorations with some of the most extraordinary humans on the planet. I am your host, Ariane Sommer, and today we have the privilege of navigating the currents of health and wellness with Dr. Mike Van Thielen, Ph.D. in Holistic Nutrition, a licensed physical therapist, a licensed acupuncture physician, and a doctor of Oriental Medicine, to mention just a few of his credentials.

Imagine mastering the art of transformation—not just metaphorically but physically, mentally, and spiritually—until it transcends into every stroke of life's vast ocean. Dr. Mike, a world-renowned biohacker, physician, mentor, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and a world record holder in swimming, does just that, employing a blend of expertise garnered from over three decades in health practices, anti-aging, regenerative medicine, and sports performance.

With the precision of an All-American athlete and the insight of a seasoned holistic nutrition expert, Dr. Mike champions the unconventional, turning the tides of traditional healthcare through biohacking, and in the process, teaching us how to unleash our own superpowers.

In his compelling publications, "EMR – The Invisible Threat" and "The IZOD Method™," Dr. Mike delves into the depths of how we can shield ourselves from unseen hazards and optimize our lives for peak performance.

As we discuss his action plan for biohacking, the 5 C.L.E.A.N. Living Principles, and the myriad ways to combat the invisible threats to our health, prepare to have your perceptions challenged and your notions of health transformed.
