Does anyone else feel like they are stuck in an echo chamber of health optimization podcasts lately with guests who reference studies that sometimes seem questionable? Because I certainly do. And frankly, it’s starting to get under my skin. Especially when each “expert” starts to contradict the other.

This obsession over tracking every metric, controlling every input and output, and hacking our biology to be "perfect" has gone too far.

So, today I want to have an honest discussion about the growing fixation in the health & wellness world on optimizing and maximizing human performance.

With easy accessibility to podcast platforms, book publishers, and supplement manufacturing - more biohacking & optimization experts have been elevated into the public eye - touting the benefits of tracking every metric, looking at every biomarker, and trying to isolate and control every body system. And I’m starting to see a huge issue with this. And a dangerous one at that.

While some self-tracking can be beneficial, the current hyperfocus on human optimization is often counterproductive and disconnected from real well-being. In this video, I'll break down the problems with this movement and hopefully offer a healthier, more sustainable perspective.
