What is the High Performance Longevity podcast?
High Performance Longevity is a weekly biohacking and longevity podcast hosted by Nick Urban, a CHEK Functional Health Coach, School of Biohacking Instructor, and founder of Outliyr. It was formerly Mind Body Peak Performance.
Since 2021 the show has published 267+ interviews with scientists, physicians, and builders. Each one turns research and hard-won practice into protocols high performers can run.
What the show is
Built for people who want ROI on their health, not another wellness feed
Tested, not trending
Every episode pressure-tests a protocol, device, or molecule against real evidence and Nick’s own n=1 experiments. If it does not hold up, you will hear that too.
Built for high performers
Founders, operators, and athletes who want to know what to keep, drop, or try next. Practical, skeptical, grounded in mechanism.
Deep, not shallow
Full-length conversations that move past the soundbite. You get mechanism, dose, and how to apply it Monday morning.
