Author: Tony Wrighton August 5, 2024 Duration: 35:33

Olympians are biohacking more than ever before to gain an edge at Paris 2024:

  • Hypnosis: Switzerland's Martin Dougoud uses hypnosis to visualize his path to the Canoe Slalom podium, a technique also used by Brazil's Arthur Zanetti for his 2012 gymnastics gold.
  • Ice Baths: The British Journal of Sports Medicine reports that federations requested over 16,000 tons of ice for the Games. Simone Biles incorporates ice massages, Epsom-salt baths, and compression boots in her recovery routine.
  • Compression Boots: Artistic swimmer Jaime Czarkowski emphasizes recovery with tools like Normatec compression boots, saunas, and massages to reduce lactic acid and enhance performance.
  • Mind Games: Caroline Wozniacki employs psychological tactics on the court, including mocking opponents' grunts to gain a mental edge.

Join us as Dr. Stephen Simpson, a renowned Creative Mind and Performance Coach, discusses these strategies used by Olympians to optimize their mind and body for peak performance.
