Chapter 1: What are the dangers of biohacking trends?
Damn. From Oxen Chambers, you've seen people have issues with those?
Yeah, just for fun, because I mean, I do want to wake people up with some challenging stories. You go look up the story of Tommy Cooper. I wasn't involved in that one. And what happened in a hyperbaric chamber here recently on that. Damn.
um he's no longer with us wow from the oxygen chambers child holy crap okay but i'm not scaring people because think of all the thousands of units that they're not having that happen what i'm saying is is this willy-nilly trying all these different things okay think of it this way okay hyperbarics hyperbarics with methylene blue hyperbarics with methylene blue under exertion
hyperbaric methanol and whatever with photobiomodulation and plus nicotine. See, it's all a different thing. It makes a different sandwich. You change the composition and you're going to have a different sauce.
Okay, guys. Dr. Anthony G. Beck, creator of Balance Protocol and biohacking critic. Thanks for coming on today, man.
Oh, man. Nice intro. Yeah. They just go right for the juggler.
Well, it's good to have the other side on because I have on a lot of biohackers. And you're actually friends with some of these people too, right? And their physician. Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's good to have, I think, a little of both in my opinion.

Chapter 2: Why is personalized health testing important?
Yeah.
The DNA company, all these people, they have these great things. They're all started by marketing guys. They've never seen a patient in their life. They're not clinically trained, but that's okay. There's no, you know, you can have the knowledge. I don't care about that. The truth is the truth no matter where it comes from.
But part of the thing is understanding how it applies to the individual who's different than everybody else. That's my message. And I know how everybody tends to have this frustration of who to believe. And I'd rather say don't believe any of us. Look at the information, get some data, and then ask some questions. Who's going to be here to serve you in that regard?
And you don't need to go try to be superhuman for hundreds of thousands of dollars and telling everybody you need to do all these things. Any of that homogenized stuff is crazy. I don't do any of those. I take one supplement and I make it. Wow. Okay. And that's all because I'm cool because I'm maximizing how I eat and feed my body.
And those four factors, environment, lifestyle, mindset, nutrition, I'm gold. I don't, I don't have to. And that's what I want people to get to as to where they, they don't need us. They don't need the supplements. They don't need the doctors. They don't need the consultants and the coaches.
That's impressive as someone who owns a supplement company.
I know. And believe you me, I've been invited into the cabal. I've been invited into the mafia. And we've had legal interactions, and I've beat them all. Wow. Okay? Because the truth shall keep and make you free. And I won't stand for it. My character is my most valuable possession. Okay. Until my dad passed away, he said, son, until I'm gone, that's my name. Okay.
And so I'm passing that down to my daughter, that same thing. So I'm not going to do the marketing stuff or lie or say, well, now you have inflammation. And I'm going to say this $8,000 detox. And by the way, you should drink your pee. That's crazy. Right. So it's all over. We have to joke about it a little bit. You know, I'm not mad or angry at those people. I just see them for who they are.
And just I'm just going to give a different message to people and say, hey, if this resonates with you, you know, reach out to me and we can talk and I can help point you in the right direction. I might it might not be a good fit. I might not be the one for you, but I want to educate, motivate and inspire. That's that's my job. That's that's really what I want to do.
