Listener Q&A

The Best Biohacks For Longevity [00:38:29]

Ian says: I am wondering where a good place to start would be when I start purchasing some biohacking devices for longevity. I only have a few thousand dollars kicking around that I want to invest in these devices so if you could point me in the right direction of where to start, I would appreciate it. I am looking forward to purchasing some of your Kion Coffee.

In my response, I recommend:

-Ancestral Living vs. Modern Biohacking presentation at this year's AHS (see calendar above!) -Neubie - alternative: Compex or MarcPro -PowerPlate vibration platform - alternative: mini-trampoline rebounder -Cold pool - alternative: Luke Storey's freezer hack -NanoVi - alternative: essential oil air diffuser with rosemary -LiveO2 - alternative: TrainingMask - (use code GREEN1 for 20% discount) -JOOVV - alternative: a good fence in your backyard for sun bathing -Vielight - alternative: RadioLab 9 volt battery episode -Infrared Sauna - alternative: a sauna suit + a Biomat -PEMF - PulseCenters - alternative: FlexPulse -Chilipad - alternative: cool mist humidifier -Trusii - alternative: Trusii tabs

The Best Biohacks For Libido [01:06:17]

Joshua says: Question about all the experimenting you have done on your penis. I have not been sexually active for about six years and am getting married in a few months. I am interested in doing one of the experiments that you have done to have better sexual performance. I know they are costly, so do you have a suggestion as to which one gives you the best "bang for your buck" - no pun intended. I don't think I have any problems, I am just looking for heightened performance.

In my response, I recommend:

-Level 1: JOOVV -Level 2: GainsWAVE -Level 3: Exosomes + PRP (the video of Part II of my surgery with Dr. Amy Killan)

BUT first address the following:

-Zinc (recommend black ant extract) -Vitamin D (recommend Thorne D/K) -Creatine (recommend Thorne Creapure) -Nitric oxide (recommended photobiomodulation with sunlight/JOOVV/Vielight) -Multiorgasmic Male book

Suppository vs. Vitamins [00:00:00]

Thomas says: As biohackers, why aren't we taking advantage of the higher absorption rate of suppositories? I would rather stick something up my butt than swallow dozens of pills every day. Maybe that is just me? Plus there is the DIY factor.

In my response, I recommend: -Glytamins
