Know Your Physio

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, we continue the journey beyond quitting Adderall to unlocking true high performance through deep physiological awareness. I sit down with Carlos and Miguel Bertonatti to unpack the essential metrics of health—VO₂ max, HRV, and body composition—and how mastering these can transform the way you recover, perform, and live.We explore why most high performers are stuck in chronic stress without realizing it, how proper sleep can become your greatest biohack, and how breathwork is the secret weapon to regulate your nervous system anytime, anywhere. This episode dives into the science of stress adaptation, the role of muscle as the "organ of longevity," and simple, actionable strategies to regain control over your biology.If you're serious about optimizing your mind, body, and performance without gimmicks—this is your roadmap. Tune in to learn how real resilience is built from the inside out.

Quitting Adderall was the hardest thing I've ever done—and one of the most transformational. In this episode, I open up like never before about my journey from being a highly medicated, underweight teen with low self-worth to becoming a high-performance health coach grounded in neuroscience, data, and deep empathy. We talk about the emotional and physiological toll of stimulants, and how I began to rebuild my brain and body from the inside out through exercise, sleep, nutrition, and self-awareness.Joined by Carlos and Miguel Bertonatti on Beyond Biohacking Brothers, we dive deep into the three most important health metrics I believe everyone should track for longevity and performance: VO₂ max, heart rate variability (HRV), and body composition. I explain how these markers work together, why most people are too stressed to truly optimize them, and how sleep is the real secret weapon for recovery and high performance.This conversation isn't just about quitting Adderall—it's about becoming your own Chief Medical Officer and learning how to feel again. Whether you're struggling with ADHD, burnout, or just trying to reconnect with your physiology in a world that constantly pulls you away from it, this episode will show you what's possible when you stop numbing and start listening.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Steven Villagomez, a clinically trained exercise physiologist and one of the most grounded, data-driven health professionals I know. We unpack the real foundations of health—sleep, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery—and why none of your efforts in diet, fitness, or supplementation will work without getting these right first. Steven breaks down how simple tools like mouth taping, air quality, and HRV-based coaching can shift everything from glucose regulation to mental clarity.We also dive deep into the current conversation around testosterone, the FDA's quiet reversal on long-standing TRT fears, and how most men are overlooking the root cause: lifestyle stress. Steven explains how regulating SHBG, improving recovery scores, and leveraging hormetic stressors like cold exposure and breathwork can dramatically increase natural testosterone levels—no prescriptions needed. This is a masterclass on what real health optimization looks like when you combine evidence-based practice with lived experience.Most importantly, we explore the mission behind the Make America Healthy Again movement and why it's time to reclaim our agency from a system driven by pharmaceutical profits. Steven and I talk about the urgent need for preventive care, functional diagnostics, and coaching that connects the dots—because health doesn't come from symptom management; it comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and showing up with intention.

Send us a textI spent a decade convinced I had a "broken brain," relying on the highest dose of Adderall just to get by. But what if the biggest struggle of your life becomes your greatest strength? In this special episode, originally recorded during my conversation with Adam Metwally on his podcast 'That One Time,' I'm sharing that very personal story. I recount the 10 years on medication (from age 8 to 18), the anxiety, the feeling of being disconnected, and the pivotal moment I discovered neuroplasticity – the key that unlocked incredible academic success and helped me get off meds for good.Together with Adam, I break down the 4 Pillars that were foundational to my transformation: Sleep, Nutrition, Movement, and Mind. You'll hear the specific, actionable strategies I personally used – like optimizing light exposure for circadian rhythm, managing core body temperature for deep sleep, fueling my brain with targeted nutrition (and avoiding common pitfalls like processed foods and potential heavy metals), harnessing progressive overload training for mental resilience, and implementing powerful time and attention management techniques that allowed me to thrive without medication.Ultimately, I learned to reframe that challenging decade not as a curse, but as the "best thing that ever happened" because it led me to dedicate my life to this work. This conversation goes beyond just my story; it's about turning struggle into strength and reclaiming your power through understanding your own biology. If you're looking to enhance focus naturally, navigate the complexities of ADHD or stimulant medication, or optimize your cognitive performance by mastering the fundamentals, I encourage you to listen to this deep dive recorded on 'That One Time with Adam Metwally'.

Send us a textIn this solo episode, I'm diving deep into one of my favorite metabolic hacks: the humble postprandial stroll. As a physiologist and health coach, I've seen firsthand how this 10-15 minute habit can outsize its effort—slashing blood sugar spikes, turbocharging GLUT4 transporters, and unlocking the soleus muscle's “secret” glucose-burning superpowers. With metabolic chaos everywhere, I'll break down why moving after meals isn't just about steps—it's about reclaiming energy, mood, and longevity through a lens of modern physiology.I'll geek out on studies to show why timing your walk matters more than duration, how calf raises can save the day when you're stuck at a desk, and why chewing your food like an Ayurvedic pro pairs perfectly with post-meal movement. Spoiler: Big Pharma's GLP-1 agonists? We can boost those naturally. I'll also share why dinner timing + a stroll might be your sleep's new best friend, and how skipping this habit keeps you on the blood sugar rollercoaster. This episode is for anyone tired of post-meal slumps, brain fog, or fearing carbs. I'm handing you the science to transform walking (or calf raises!) into a “micro-dose” of metabolic magic. Whether you're optimizing for performance, longevity, or just want to feel lighter after meals, let's make postprandial strolls your non-negotiable. Ready to move with your metabolism—not against it?
