One man is on the cutting edge of biohacking: Anthony DiClementi. Anthony is an author, trainer, and biohacker who has been studying the human body for a lifetime. He has the vibrancy and the physique to prove it! Plus he thinks differently than the average biohacker and that is one of the reasons I asked him to come on the show. On this episode of Awesome Health, we are talking about how to get the greatest health benefits with least amount of work, some of the common mistakes people make when choosing a supplement, and what his average day looks like. We're also talking about his book: Biohackers Guide to Upgraded Energy and Focus. Join us for that and more on episode 14 of BiOptimizers' Awesome Health! In this episode of Awesome Health, you'll also hear: How do we release the toxins from our brains, and what can happen if we don't? Why are patent-eligible supplements almost always synthetic? How do we know we've actually learned something? And much more! More About Awesome Health with Anthony DiClementi As I mentioned earlier, Anthony has spent a lifetime studying health and wellness. He started caring about health and wellness when puberty hit because he realized girls liked guys with six-pack abs! Beyond that, he also played sports at a high level. At that point his knowledge was limited to eating whole foods and different ways of training (even yoga - which he taught). He did everything and tried everything, including eating like a caveman and exercising like a caveman, but it only took him so far. By 2011 his energy was in the gutter. It was so bad he saw 11 or 12 doctors in a year. He visited endocrinologists and specialists of every other variety, but they all told him there was nothing wrong with him. He realized it was on him to take responsibility and figure out what was going wrong with his body and find ways to fix it. So he started looking for answers in uncommon places, and he began exploring beyond the fields of nutrition and exercise. Simple Biohacks Most People Overlook That exploration led him to the emerging field of biohacking, a subject we dug into very deeply on today's episode. In particular, I wanted to know some simple biohacks he has found that most in his field are overlooking, and why they are important to implement in our daily lives. Anthony explains that for a lot of biohackers (and others) it is easy to focus on minutiae. People are missing seeing the big picture. For example, we're missing time in nature, and it's the very thing that will counteract our ever-growing digital exposure. Rather than buy the latest blue-blocking glasses take a step back and look at your environment: where do you spend your time? Our cells see a very different world than we see: they are impacted by things like the smart meters attached to our houses. In fact, most people don't even know what a smart meter is! He says we don't have to chase every little biohack that crosses our Instagram feed. Instead, it's more about paying attention to all the things that impact our energy, things like how much sunlight we have in our day, how much time in nature we have versus how much time we spend with our technology. It's not just what we see or what we put in our mouth. How to Avoid Common Mistakes When Choosing a Supplement Another topic Anthony and I cover is choosing supplements: I asked him what common mistakes people are making in their choices and how he recommends finding the best supplements for yourself. He definitely understands there are so many supplements out there that it can become an overwhelming process. The truth is very few are actually quality products. A quality supplement means having the right active ingredients, and the right amount of those ingredients, while not having other unnecessary ingredients in there. A common mistake people make is what he calls the spaghetti approach. Many people try many things to see what will stick, like throwing a bunch of spaghetti against the wall to see which
