Dr. Daniel Stickler, co-founder of the Apeiron Center for Human Potential, discusses the potential therapeutic applications of peptides in human health and performance. Peptides are short chains of amino acids found in various sources and have a range of biological functions, including the regulation of hormones, influencing neurotransmitters, and modulating the immune system. They can also have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Dr. Stickler also presents a few examples of using wearable devices to gather biometrics, interpreting the data and acting on the insights gained to effect positive changes.

Biohacker's Live Show is a webinar series that introduces speakers of the Biohacker Summit, live and in high-quality in a talk show format to your desktop and mobile devices. The human body has evolved in an environment of scarcity and uncertainty. This has created numerous metabolic pathways and adaptations into our physiology that promote high performance and optimal health. In the modern world, people don't experience that same variation and cycling in their life. We eat the same foods, follow similar routines, and do certain activities all the time. This can lead to stagnation, digestive issues, inflammation, and disease. Metabolic flexibility refers to your ability to swap between different fuel sources and be able to metabolize different foods without suffering any negative side-effects. It's a signature of a robust and well-functioning metabolism. In this episode, Siim will talk about the characteristics of metabolic flexibility, intermittent fasting, strategies for building it, and other principles of optimal nutrition and meal timing. Siim Land (EST), often called the prodigy of biohacking, is a human optimization enthusiast who focuses on balancing longevity and health with performance and well-being. He creates content about being stronger and living longer both physically as well as mentally. His popular videos & podcasts on Youtube have already gathered over 6.5 million views. Despite the fact that he is only 24 years old, he has already authored 5 books, including the massive Metabolic Autophagy, that combines science, daily lifestyle and dietary practices that help to cross the chasm between longevity and high performance.

When you push the limits of your own performance, sometimes those limits push back. Limits push back in the form of waking up in the middle of the night to a racing mind, feeling like there is not enough time, and chaotic overwhelm. Keeping track of everything you have to do becomes a stressor itself. Your mind did not evolve as a task manager. In an innovative society where the only constant is change and you are required to learn at a more rapid rate than before just to keep up, optimizing brain performance is tantamount. While society may be years if not decades away from a cloud interface for the human mind, leveraging the technologies of today one can create systems to externalize aspects of our day-to-day and help knowledge workers be more productive than ever before. In this interview Boomer will lay out the technologies, tools, and processes needed to free your mind for its true purpose: critical thinking and creation. You will learn best practices for task capturing, how to build a knowledge warehouse, and how the specific organization of that knowledge will allow you to extend your capability and be more productive at the workplace. Boomer Anderson (USA) is a Partner, Performance Advisor, and Podcast Host at Decoding Superhuman. Boomer serves as the catalyst to sustainable high performance for many top entrepreneurs, CEOs, and working professionals as a Certified Epigenetic Coach (Apeiron Center for Human Potential) and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN). In his prior life as a top executive in finance, Boomer worked and assisted companies and governments in raising billions of dollars. The travel, stress, and lack of sleep led to Boomer being diagnosed with a heart condition at 30. The systematic approach Boomer took to improving his condition resulted in health and performance improvements and laid the foundations for many of Decoding Superhuman’s practices today.
