In this episode, Teemu Arina meets Joe Cohen, CEO of SelfDecode, to discuss the complex nature of a purely data-driven approach to biohacking via genetic testing and various biomarkers.Joe recalls his biohacking journey, his trial-and-error approach, years of self-experimentation, following gurus (and then choosing not to do so anymore) and the incredible insights which led to him ultimately founding SelfDecode.SelfDecode is the only company in the world which directly provides their users with a holistic set of accurate health recommendations based on their genes. This allows them to take charge of their own healthcare with data-driven precision health decisions.In order to make the best health decisions, we must take all of our health data into account. Otherwise, we'll end up addressing individual problems or symptoms without looking at the whole picture. The problem is that there is just too much information for any human to analyze - this is where the power of AI comes in.This conversation was recorded in August 2024.Visit https://selfdecode.com and follow @mrbiohacker on Instagram to learn more!Check https://biohackersummit.com for upcoming events & tickets!Devices, supplements, guides, books & quality online courses for supporting your health & performance: https://biohackercenter.comKey moments and takeaways:00:00 Introduction by Teemu Arina01:23 Joe's biohacking journey & fighting 75 different health issues02:43 Getting into genetics, gaining knowledge and experience03:42 From healing to optimizing - but how?04:26 Referencing the best people in each category04:57 Optimize every realm possible05:53 Mood regulation matters07:14 You don't know where your limit is (until you test it)08:40 Joe's elevated neuroticism & anxiety09:28 Iterative improvements over 4 years10:56 Joe didn't consult a psychologist, only used supplements11:47 Mood is quite complex13:30 It's tough to talk to people with whom you don't share common interests14:39 Optimizing lab results and data15:52 Chromium as an example of a less immediately obvious supplement19:00 When biohacking becomes an obsession (but for Joe it's more of a hobby)19:49 Exercise and the adverse effects of blindly following guru advice21:38 Challenging the body in different ways23:15 Lab testing provides insights as you progress through your improvements24:31 Megadosing vitamin C27:16 Optimization cannot be done in isolation27:46 The consequences of overtraining31:27 Optimal is contextual33:33 You have to look at multiple biomarkers to get an accurate picture36:24 IVs: yes or no?38:23 Megadosing makes it easier to observe the effects of a specific compound40:15 Software algorithms can interpret your metrics and help you avoid mistakes41:51 What works for one person might not work for another44:22 It's hard to identify which particular supplement works best46:58 SelfDecode provides the tools which help you understand your results48:22 The industry is rife with sh*t technology50:04 Companies should leverage AI and build their own technology, but most don't54:37 Most software out there is just bad58:17 You can provide results from other labs, but it's best to use SelfDecode's own chip61:13 Most labs look for illness - but if longevity is the target, other metrics are more important64:04 Biohackers shouldn't just blindly believe what they read64:33 SelfDecode also has a GPT bot to help you interpret your data
