Host Dave Asprey sits down with Aaron Alexander, a world-renowned human performance coach, manual therapist, and creator of The Align Method. Aaron has worked with elite athletes, high-level entrepreneurs, and celebrity performers to transform the way they move, breathe, and live in their bodies. He merges structural alignment, functional medicine, emotional awareness, and deep nervous system science to help people get unstuck, physically and emotionally.


Together, they explore the science and strategy behind breathwork, vagal tone, posture, and fascia, revealing how the body stores trauma, how breath shifts brain states, and how physical misalignment can sabotage mental clarity, energy, and even mitochondrial function. They also dive into why mouth taping, tongue posture, nitric oxide, and movement patterns are foundational to sleep optimization, cold therapy adaptation, and long-term vitality.


You’ll learn how to regulate your state in 10 seconds or less, how to shift from sympathetic overdrive to parasympathetic calm, and how to use tools like humming, OMing, and deep exhales to control your biology in real time. This is a tactical, science-rich, emotionally grounded guide to neurohacking from the inside out.


If you care about biohacking, functional medicine, sleep optimization, or want to feel stronger, calmer, and more in control—this episode is essential.


You’ll also hear how Aaron:

• Uses breath patterns to hack the nervous system and improve strength, mood, and cognition

• Teaches mouth taping and facial alignment for deeper sleep and recovery

• Connects trauma, honesty, and physical tension through a somatic lens

• Guides clients through cold therapy, touch, and movement to recalibrate resilience

• Applies fascia science and polyvagal theory to elite performance and everyday health


This is essential listening for anyone exploring Smarter Not Harder protocols, high-level biohacking, and the connection between movement, mitochondria, and mind control.
