Alzheimer's Protocol, Sleep Hacks, & Muscle Without Burnout
The Alzheimer’s protocol every biohacker should know, the real reason you wake up tired, and how to build muscle without wrecking your metabolism. Plus: oxygen hacks for strength and focus.
Your screen is wrecking your eyes, and your brain’s paying the price.
Here’s how to hack it: Every 20 minutes you spend locked onto a screen, take 1-2 minutes to look out a window at something far away. This resets your eye muscles, cuts down fatigue, and tells your nervous system it’s not under siege.
HEALTH: Ozempic melts fat. But it can also strip muscle, tank metabolism, and wreck performance if you’re not careful. GLP-1 drugs blunt hunger, but that means fewer nutrients, less protein, and slower recovery. Most people using Ozempic are setting themselves up to fail. Here’s how to do it right.
BRAIN: If my family member or friend showed signs of Alzheimer’s, this is the protocol I’d recommend. It supports brain energy with ketones, protects neurons, and targets the root causes of cognitive decline. MCTs are part of it, but some of the other tools might surprise you.

Saffron: Ancient Spice, Modern Brain Upgrade
Saffron isn’t just for paella. This ancient spice has a 4,000-year resume in healing. It’s used for digestion, detox, and even tumor support. But now, science is zeroing in on its real power: brain performance. Ready to turn your spice rack into a nootropic stack? Read on for the exact doses, mechanisms, and biohacker-approved ways to use saffron for sharper focus and emotional resilience.
Motivation: Why It Fails and What Actually Drives Transformation
Stop relying on motivation. It fades when stress hits, or when life gets loud. In this episode, David Bayer unpacks the deeper drivers of transformation: rewiring thought patterns, dissolving limiting beliefs, and shifting perception at the root. You’ll learn how to turn pain into energy, reframe old stories, and build lasting change without relying on willpower or hype.

Oxygen: The Overlooked Key to Strength, Metabolism & Brain Power
Your body’s use of oxygen determines how strong, sharp, and resilient you are. In this episode, Dr. Sten Stray-Gundersen explains how short bursts of oxygen stress- through blood flow restriction and intermittent hypoxia- can unlock faster gains in strength, endurance, and metabolic function. Plus: how to boost nitric oxide, balance hormones, and train your brain to perform under pressure.

Why You Wake Up Tired (Even After 8 Hours)
Most people think fasting means skipping a meal or two. But a real 72-hour fast? That’s where the deep repair kicks in. In this video, I walk you through what really happens during a 3-day fast: how it activates autophagy, triggers stem cell regeneration, and pushes your body into deep repair mode. Short fasts have benefits, but this is where the real upgrade begins.
