Geoffrey Woo is co-founder and CEO of HVMN. Geoffrey earned his BS in Computer Science from Stanford University with Honors and Distinction and specialized in Distributed Systems and Information Theory. In early 2014, Geoffrey began conducting his own n=1 experiments to optimize his cognitive, physical, and metabolic biomarkers through a systems approach. HVMN started as Nootrobox, a project he started with Michael Brandt to formalize and operationalize the production of nootropic combinations that they were sourcing and producing themselves. Within the first few months of operation, Nootrobox was grossing over six-figures in revenues per month. Geoffrey published a series of articles on TechCrunch advocating smart regulation for human enhancement technologies and humans as a platform and innovation and built a following within Silicon Valley. In early 2016, Geoffrey started experimenting with intermittent fasting to activate metabolic pathways associated with longevity and cognitive function. To make the science and physiology behind the benefits of fasting more accessible, Geoffrey started WeFast, one of the largest online intermittent fasting communities, and became a widely cited spokesperson for intermittent fasting in the media. Realizing that ketosis was a primary driver behind why fasting works, Geoffrey began investigating ways to elevate blood ketones. Geoffrey forged a partnership with Professor Kieran Clarke of the University of Oxford to develop HVMN Ketone, the world’s first ketone ester drink, based on Prof. Clarke and Dr. Richard Veech’s (NIH) seminal work on ketone esters and exogenous ketones. As part of the expansion of scope of Nootrobox, the company was renamed HVMN in 2017.

Welcome to the THINKING Podcast, produced by HVMN.  Episode 35 features Jasmina Aganovic, president of Mother Dirt, a product that flips the switch on the normal school of thought of modern hygiene. Instead of cleaning bacteria from your skin, Mother Dirt aims to restore & maintain the good bacteria. What's the rationale behind this, you ask?  The microbiome.  The microbiome is a community of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) that inhabit a particular environment. The particular environment we're talking about here is your human body, which is home to 100 trillion microbes. Before you jump out of your skin, it's known that these microbes play an essential part in our bodily function and survival. The popular frenzy surrounding probiotics is fueled in large part by surging scientific and public interest in the human microbiome. Mother Dirt is playing a huge part in leading this new space in the dermatology industry by bringing microbiome-friendly products to consumers that are backed by their own clinical research. Geoffrey Woo and Jasmina discuss the nuances of bringing a potentially controversial product to market, the theory behind why modern society is too clean for our good, and the role of the microbiome beyond cosmetics/dermatology (recent studies have shown that lower blood pressure is associated with a healthy microbiome).  

Episode 33 features Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt, who are some of the most prolific thought leaders in the space of human enhancement. They've made a name for themselves (featured on NYT, WSJ, and BI) by building up Nootrobox as one of the leading nootropic companies. Now, they are taking the next step in their mission to make better humans by launching an all-encompassing human enhancement company: HVMN. This episode dives into the long-term vision Geoff and Michael have with HVMN and why now is the perfect time for human enhancement. Plus, nuggets of backstory regarding the origin of Nootrobox!

Welcome to the THINKING Podcast, produced by HVMN.  Episode 32 features Nathaniel Krasnoff, a successful venture capitalist who started from humble beginnings and continues to prosper thanks to the various biohacks he's experimented with over the years. An avid polyphasic sleep practitioner, Nathaniel works around the clock to help start-up founders realize their company vision. Geoff and Nathaniel discuss productivity hacks, Nathaniel's journey to the top of the largest mountain in Africa (and how HVMN product SPRINT made it possible), and the culture of Silicon Valley.    

The enhancement of the human body is the main goal of Geoffrey Woo, a biohacker and entrepreneur based in San Francisco. A Stanford-trained computer scientist, Geoffrey is the CEO and co-founder of HVMN (formerly Nootrobox), a nootropics company that melds biology and technology to optimize the human system. The evolving science behind nootropics, which are legal compounds designed to improve cognitive function, has become big business in Silicon Valley. Geoffrey sees the human body as a quantifiable and manipulable system, and the next platform for innovation and growth. Along with his employees, he is also an enthusiastic proponent of fasting, Together, they have built a vibrant community of like-minded followers, known as WeFast. They regularly deprive themselves of food, in the pursuit of good health and longevity. In this in-depth interview, Geoffrey shares his enthusiasm for biohacking and explains why he believes everyone will be fasting within the next two years.

This week, Geoff sits down with Dan Doty, the founder of Evryman and a recurring guest on the Joe Rogan show. Dan leads various "men's communities", groups of men who come together to find their true selves and get in touch with their emotions...often retreating in nature to block the distractions of the modern world. Dan makes it crystal clear that these groups harbor no anti-feminist sentiments, and in fact stresses that these retreats are less about finding what it means to be a man...but what it means to be human.  Geoff and Dan discuss the importance of self-reflection, the problem with social constructions regarding what it means to be a "man", and the techniques Dan has learned over the years mentoring young troubled men and getting them on the right path.    SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes that will make you THINK!

Joel Stanley, the CEO of CW Hemp, joins us on the THINKING Podcast to discuss the origins of his family-run CBD company, the state of the rapidly growing industry, and how his CBD product can be used for biohacking. The inception of his company is especially interesting. CW Hemp breeds high CBD plants, the cannabinoid substance in cannabis and hemp that is non-psychoactive (by having very little THC) but maintains documented medicinal benefits, known for its anti-anxiety and anticonvulsant effects. Their flagship product was used to stop Charlotte's epileptic seizures, a little girl who had gone through every other medical procedure to no avail. Her usage of the product was featured in a CNN documentary and garnered national media coverage, and the product was then named after her. Since then, CW Hemp not only provides biohackers with a product that can protect the brain but also continues to be a beacon of hope for parents with children in similar situations.   SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes that will make you THINK!

We've spoken with multiple guests on the podcast who have had strong opinions on the current U.S health care system. Most of these guests have been on the side of the patient, feeling as if doctors have been failing them and refusing to evolve with the times.  Enter Kevin Pho, a physician who gives us a refreshing reminder that there are doctors who are proud to be forward-thinking and are doing what they can to get their voices heard. After being in the "system" for years and experiencing the countless institutionalized obstacles doctors must overcome to simply focus on actual patient care, Dr. Pho built one of the most read medicine blogs and has been crowned "Social media's leading physician voice". Geoff and Dr. Pho discuss the dysfunctional health care system, where Dr. Pho lends us his insight as a primary care doctor. He shares how important it is to recognize the evolution of the doctor-patient relationship, and stresses that instead of the doctor filling in a wholly authoritative role to the patient it should be thought of more as a partnership. This evolution has given the rise to more ways of receiving medical care outside the norm, including "direct pay primary care" and "patient-centered medical homes". The issue of the health care system is multi-layered and has been a source of debate for years, with seemingly no one able to crack the code. Dr. Pho gives us the valuable perspective of a doctor tired of the health care system and reminds us that at the end of the day, everyone is a human and wants to help make the world a better place.

It's the end of the beginning — not the beginning of the end — for wearables, argue the guests in this episode of the a16z Podcast. Especially as we move from the first, to the next, generation of wearable devices: not just activity trackers and watches but VR/AR gear, “hearables”, continuous glucose monitors, and more. The quantified self movement then takes these empirical tracking- and data-gathering tools to better reason about what works and doesn't work in our bodies to help us solve problems and live better lives. Yet the act of gathering data isn't the hard part… it's linking them to insights and outcomes. Because we really do have very little data about what works at a collective let alone an individual level. With a new age of biohacking upon us — where people can apply engineering principles to manipulate what we take into our bodies (inputs) to tune how we perform (outputs) — can we finally embrace these tools? What will it take to make something that's mainly a niche activity/community (quantified self was formally started a decade ago!) into something more mainstream for all? (Hint: it involves cookie recipes.) And finally, what are the societal implications of all this, from avoiding data dystopias to embracing the consumerization of government projects too? Joining us to explore these questions and more (in conversation with Sonal Chokshi), we have: neuroscientist and data scientist Rachel Kalmar, currently a fellow at The Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University; co-founder of The Quantified Self blog and community Gary Wolf; and Geoffrey Woo, co-founder and CEO at Nootrobox (an a16z company).

Welcome to a THINKING Podcast Special! Geoffrey Woo presents a thought-provoking talk based upon the future of human enhancement to a large audience at the popular World's Fair Nano, laying out the four broad concepts around the space. He stresses that human progress doesn't and won't stop, so why not do it safely and responsibly? Geoff also dives into why Nootrobox is leading the movement with cognitive enhancers such as the flagship nootropic set THE FULL STACK. 

Welcome to Part 1 of Episode 25 of the THINKING Podcast! Geoff sits down with Brianna Stubbs, a British rower who has achieved numerous accomplishments, including being the youngest person ever to cross the English Channel in a rowing boat...at age 12. Not only is Brianna a full-time athlete who won Great Britain a gold medal at the 2016 World Rowing Championships, but she also studied rigorously at the prestigious Oxford University. She went on to become a respected researcher in the space of ketones, an alternate energy source for our bodies that burns fat instead of glucose.  Geoff and Brianna discuss her athletic and academic background, where Brianna shares how she managed her formidable lifestyle. She once was finishing up a science lab at school when she remembered it was the time she was supposed to be at the gym. Instead of giving up and standing by idly, she started doing squats in the middle of the class whilst monitoring a rat heart. Now that's dedication!

Humans have always wanted to enhance themselves -- from getting nutrition just-right to optimizing their performance, whether in sports or health or work. And food is a big part of all that. But our current systems of food production (and consumption) are far from efficient and sustainable let alone optimizable. That's where a whole new generation of wearable/ bio-feedback, food and nutrition, food production, and performance enhancement/ "nootropics" companies come in. How do these approaches move from the internet and online communities into the mainstream? Or from the university lab to the field? Or, put yet another way, from hobby to daily practice? After all, what we measure, what we take in, and what we output defines what it means to be human. We discuss this "future of you" in this episode of the a16z podcast with Daniel Chao, CEO of Halo Neuroscience; Rob Rhinehart, CEO of Soylent; James Rogers, CEO of Apeel; and Geoffrey Woo, CEO of Nootrobox -- based on a conversation with Chris Dixon at our inaugural Summit event.

Biohacking, nootropics, and the notion of optimizing one's human performance are on a rapid rise. Nootrobox founders Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt are some of the foremost thinkers in this space, and they've proposed 5 Axioms that predicate biohacking and the framework driving Nootrobox. The first axiom discussed in Episode 1 is "The Human as a System."

What if you could bring the best version of yourself to everything you do everyday? What if you could get the most out of your mind and brain -- or more scientifically, your "cognitive performance" -- without going to those old addictive standbys like coffee or RedBulls? The promise of nootropics or cognitive enhancers is to help us work better and more productively (for example, through more stamina and working memory); stay more awake and alert (without the sudden jolt of coffee); sleep better; and even protect our brains against cognitive impairments or neuro diseases like Alzheimer's. Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt, the founders of Nootrobox, believe that nootropics are possible for everyone -- not just for a select or hobbyist fringe of society -- and that part of that mainstreaming will involve a lot of hard science, hard data, and frankly, good user experience and better packaging of raw components ... the same things, in fact, that helped mainstream personal computers from the days of the early hacking at the Homebrew Club to Apple and the world of mass computing today. But how does nootropics move beyond a community movement ... and how does it fit into the context of other trends such as biohacking, quantified self, and more? Is the human body really the next 'platform'? All this and more on this episode of the a16z Podcast. The views expressed here are those of the individual AH Capital Management, L.L.C.
