Show Notes
Biohacking can quickly become a full-time job: supplements, wearables, blood tests, cold exposure, red light, PEMF and the constant pressure to optimise everything. Dr Mark Atkinson explains why better health often starts with doing less, getting the fundamentals right and learning how to identify what actually works for you, rather than copying somebody else’s routine.
Mark, a medical doctor who worked alongside Dave Asprey as medical director of Bulletproof, breaks down how to start biohacking, the foundations of health optimisation, Biohacking 2.0 vs 3.0, nervous system regulation, sleep, emotional health, wearables, blood testing, supplements and health technology. We also explore how to tell whether a biohack is genuinely helping, when to introduce something new, why consistency matters, and the warning signs that trying to perfect your health has started creating more stress than benefit.

After being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme IDH1 wild type, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer, and given just three months to live, Dave Bolton is still here 11 years later. He represents just 0.000015732% of the global population. Dave underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy but this conversation is about what he did beyond treatment. From mindset, hydration and nutrition to exercise and supplementation, Dave shares the changes he made after his diagnosis and why he believes there was never one single “magic bullet” behind his journey.
Struggling to fall asleep, waking during the night or feeling like you never properly rested? PEMF therapy is increasingly being studied for sleep and insomnia, with human trials looking at everything from sleep quality and night time waking to brainwave activity, anxiety and nervous-system regulation
Hydrogen water and hydrogen inhalation are everywhere, but a lot of what people are told about molecular hydrogen is misunderstood. Tyler LeBaron, founder of the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, breaks down what molecular hydrogen actually is, why hydrogen water is completely different from alkaline water, how hydrogen interacts with the mitochondria and redox system, and why it isn’t simply another antioxidant.
Blood flow is one of the most important parts of healing, recovery and overall health, but can PEMF therapy actually influence circulation? This episode breaks down how pulsed electromagnetic field therapy may affect blood vessels, nitric oxide, vasodilation, microcirculation, tissue oxygenation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients around the body.
You can be tired, cold, anxious, gaining weight, losing hair or struggling with brain fog and still be told your thyroid is “normal.” Dr Izabella Wentz, also known as The Thyroid Pharmacist, explains the hidden thyroid symptoms many people miss and why thyroid dysfunction is so often linked to gut health, gluten, stress, toxins, nutrient deficiencies and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.
