Optimizing human performance through science, hormones, and data.
Biohacking
Real raw honey — comb, propolis, and pollen still in the jar — is a more interesting food than the squeeze-bottle stuff. But it's still sugar, and "raw" won't fix your blood-sugar curve. The honest version, wrapped around the spoonful my mother gave me every morning as a kid.
Biohacking
Legs are the biggest lever you own — the most muscle, the most systemic stress, the strongest tie to metabolism, circulation, and how long you stay on your feet. So why is leg day the one everyone skips? A day in three beats — rest, train, refuel — and the case for the muscles you least want to
Biohacking
A blood test is only worth as much as the blood you hand it. Before the second panel — three months into the protocol — comes the boring, load-bearing part: a three-day washout, a 12-hour fast, no lifting, no sex. The science of a clean draw.
Biohacking
I run peptides that make my body release its own growth hormone. HGH means injecting the hormone itself — stronger, less physiological, with a real glucose tax. The honest case, ELI5 to pharmacology, on a switch I'm weighing before my blood panel.
Biohacking
The circadian case for rising early — cortisol timing, morning light, and why a regular sleep schedule outpredicts sheer sleep duration. Plus the quiet edge of living on the equator.
Biohacking
While Colombia took Independence Day off, we didn't: the kids on the MMA mats, me under the bar for leg day, all of us in the pool afterward. Not grind — culture. Why a holiday is the truest test of whether your habits are real.
Biohacking
Genetics is the hand you're dealt. Thirty years of showing up is how you play it. Why the discipline I started at sixteen became the one thing I'd never trade — and never quit.
Biohacking
Some places make healthy living feel like another job. Medellín quietly removes half the excuses, opens the windows, and sends you outside — and the climate turns out to be the best biohack I never bought.
Biohacking
If your idea of optimization can't survive lobster, a tomahawk, and a long dinner with people you love, the protocol is the problem.
Biohacking
Ninety days on a full hormone-and-peptide protocol. The vials are running dry, a blood panel is two weeks out, and after three years the Cuban cigars are done as of today. Round one was the learning curve — here's the scorecard before the real plan begins.
Biohacking
One normal day in a biohacking family: the kids burn energy at football, then refuel on grilled protein and a table full of fermented vegetables — and I get a clean run at my own inputs. Here's why Korean BBQ is quietly one of the best meals a biohacker can order.
Biohacking
Two updates: a Colombian-Arab chef teaching the kids to cook — with the real science on why the Levantine pantry is one of the healthiest on earth — and a follow-up to the oily-skin post. The skin turned smooth, and the honest reason is mostly metabolic, not the peptides.
