Salt, Steps & Muscle Loss: What I’m Fixing First in 2026
This week in the podcast, including 10k steps myth, a fix for joints and a free reset.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Why I salt every glass of water (and why you should too). The “10k steps” myth, the biohacker fix that saves your joints, and the real reason muscles break down after 40 (plus how to stop it). Also inside: a no-filter longevity debate, 2026’s must-know biohacking trends, and the free 30-day reset clearing out oxalates and brain fog.
HYDRATION: Still drinking plain water? Add salt. Without electrolytes, most of what you drink runs right through you, and worse, it can flush out the minerals your cells need to stay hydrated. A pinch of high-quality salt or a balanced electrolyte blend helps water get into your cells, powering energy, brain function, and recovery. I take 8g of sodium a day (4x the recommended amount) and have for years. It works.
BODY: 10,000 steps a day is a made-up number. You can get similar benefits in way less time with full-body vibration. The right plate boosts circulation, ramps up nitric oxide, and stimulates your muscles without pounding your joints or burning your schedule. Why grind when you can hack it?

Why Your Muscles Break Down After 40 (And How to Reverse It)
Most people think muscle loss is inevitable as you age. It’s not. It’s about cellular energy. After 40, the mitochondria inside your muscle cells start to break down, and your body stops replacing them fast enough. That’s what causes the fatigue, weakness, and slower recovery, even if you stay active. In this video, I explain why that decline happens, and how to restore cellular energy so you can keep muscle mass and tone as you age.
The Future of Biohacking Starts Now
Biohacking doesn’t stand still, and neither should you. The tools that got results last year may not cut it now. That’s why I created the Biohacking Trends Report 2026: a free, science-backed guide to what’s next in performance, resilience, and longevity. Inside, you’ll find the top tools to watch, the breakthroughs to act on, and the moves to stay way ahead of the curve.
The 30-Day Reset That Reboots Energy, Eases Pain, and Clears Brain Fog
Oxalates are stealth toxins hiding in “healthy” foods, and they’re sabotaging your health and performance. They drain your minerals, inflame your joints, and leave you stiff, foggy, and exhausted. Most people are overloaded and don’t even know it. That changes now. I’m starting 2026 with a free 30-day Low-Ox Reset to help you clear the buildup, reduce pain, and reclaim your energy.
Why Europeans Eat Like Crap and Still Lose Weight
This might be the most honest conversation I’ve ever had about longevity. I sat down with a fellow longevity expert, Dan Buettner, someone who sees aging through a completely different lens than I do. We disagree on how long humans can live, but we both respect the science and the results. Recorded live at Eudemonia, this is a BS-free roadmap for anti-aging, performance, and upgrading your biology without all the tribal thinking that can plague modern health conversations!

The Willpower Drug: How to Supplement Discipline
Creatine is a hot subject right now, but I’m guessing you might not know as much about it as you could. We’ll step into a new creatine masterclass with our friends from Qualia. This episode shows you why it is not just for muscle, but one of the most powerful and well studied upgrades for brain energy, metabolism, sleep resilience, and long term human performance. You will learn how creatine supports mitochondria, buffers ATP, reduces cravings, and helps you think, train, and recover with more energy instead of relying on willpower.
