Episode notes

In this special episode, I switch roles and step into the guest seat, giving you a behind-the-scenes look into my own journey—from biohacker and performance coach to someone deeply passionate about living life with intention. I share the experiences that have shaped my philosophy, from my love of spearfishing and being in nature to blending science with real-world application to help others unlock their full potential.

I also talk about the power of key performance indicators like HRV and VO2 max, and how they’ve transformed not only my life but the lives of my clients. This conversation touches on the importance of balancing data with intuition, the lessons I’ve learned through coaching, and the way I strive to integrate nature, science, and human connection.

If you’re interested in how to elevate your health and performance, or simply curious about the personal side of my journey, this episode is for you. I share insights from my own life, the science I live by, and the small but meaningful changes anyone can make to live a healthier, more intentional life. Join me as I open up about the philosophy that drives me—both on and off the mic.
