124: Dr. Dan Stickler - Optimizing Health Through Epigenetics

Author: Dr. Anthony Gustin December 23, 2020 Duration: 1:13:41

Dr. Dan Stickler and his wife created a new system that analyzes someone's genes and gives them individualized recommendations to improve their health and performance.

When you tune into this episode, you'll hear more about how that's possible, and you'll also discover how eating locally affects your gene expression, what it takes to shift your epigenetics, and why Dr. Stickler only focuses on a small fraction of someone's genes.

Dr. Stickler and Dr. Anthony Gustin also get into wearable health trackers, psychedelics on mental health, brain mapping, biofeedback, and so much more.

If you're not familiar, Dr. Dan Stickler started out in the medical field as a vascular surgeon and weight loss surgeon. But, as you'll learn, he was quickly disheartened by the fact that all he was doing for patients was helping them postpone death.

He knew there had to be a better way, which led him down the path of creating a systems-based precision performance medicine.

This new paradigm helps people optimize their genes and their health so that they can live better and reach their peak performance.

Because of this unique approach, Dr. Stickler is a top physician to high-performing executives and entrepreneurs looking to upgrade their current state.

In addition to co-founding The Apeiron Center for Human Potential, Dr. Stickler is an author, podcaster, speaker, blogger, and the Medical Director for the Neurohacker Collective.

When you tune into this episode, you'll see how Dr. Stickler goes against the grain of traditional medicine by integrating several cutting-edge technologies to help people optimize all aspects of their life.

Dr. Anthony Gustin operates from a simple yet profound premise: health is our default setting. His The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin is built on the idea that so much of what we call illness or fatigue stems from a mismatch between our biology and the world we've built. This isn't just another health podcast offering quick fixes. Instead, each conversation is a deep, practical exploration of how to construct a life that aligns with our fundamental needs. You'll hear from a carefully selected roster of experts-nutrition scientists, innovative fitness practitioners, and researchers who are redefining their fields. The discussions move beyond surface-level advice to examine the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, low energy, and chronic stress. What makes this podcast particularly valuable is its commitment to translation; complex biochemistry and physiology are broken down into actionable insights you can use immediately. Episodes regularly delve into the nuances of ancestral eating patterns, the science of strength and movement, and the environmental toxins that disrupt our systems. The goal is always clarity and application, providing a roadmap to strip away the noise of modern health trends and rebuild what Dr. Gustin calls a proper human environment. Tune in for thoughtful, evidence-based dialogues that empower you to reclaim the vitality that should be your natural state.
