(introductions)



Matt 1:01 This week we're talking about biohacking with energy. So, previous week, we talked about biohacking through a variety of modalities, whether it was through nutrition or things that you could do exercises, mental exercises, whatever. This week, though, specifically, we're targeting it on energy practices. So there are a variety of levels of experience in this podcast. Like, I've got maybe a limited basis, but I've gone through the Psych-K Basic, which is short for psychological, kinesiology, and psyche advanced.
