Are you tired of the never-ending hacks, shortcuts, protocols and gimmicks that some call biohacking?

19-year-olds are juicing up with exogenous hormones and getting implants just to keep up with the Joneses on Instagram.

The materialistic worldview pushed by those with something to sell in the world of health can lead to an unhealthy obsession with appearance and status.

Is this really what health looks like?

How can we transcend the hype, nonsense and noise?

Today, I’m honored to be here with the one and only Paul Chek.

For over 40 years, Paul has been a pioneer in the world of corrective exercise, kinesiology, and holistic health. But his wisdom extends far beyond the physical, as he shares profound insights on the spiritual and existential dimensions of the human experience.

This is no ordinary conversation about health and longevity - it's a masterclass in living an authentic, fulfilling life.

In this episode with Paul Chek, you’ll hear:
  • The dangers of taking shortcuts with your health and joining the biohacking cult
  • How to build the courage to be yourself in a world that conditions you to fit in
  • How our spiritual practice can help optimize our health and longevity
  • Why instead of eating cake on his birthday, Paul stacks enormous rocks to create a monument of stone…
  • And much more…

You’ll hear candid, long-form interviews with hundreds of pioneers, from biochemists like Dr. Casey Means and longevity experts like Dr. Mark Hyman to entrepreneurial minds such as Tim Ferriss and James Clear. The discussions naturally explore the practical connections between metabolic health, cognitive performance, and building a meaningful career or business. Launched back in 2012, the show has evolved from its original, playful focus into a broader exploration of what it means to live well and work smart. Tuning in provides a unique blend of actionable science for your body and innovative thinking for your ventures, all framed through Abel’s engaging and curious perspective. Each episode feels like a chance to sit in on a private masterclass, stripping away the hype to examine what truly works for optimizing a modern life.
