It all started as a family trying to save a life.Connie Zack shares how her brother’s chronic mystery illness wasn’t solved by supplements, protocols, or medications… but by a dentist who recognized the signs of heavy metal burden and pointed him toward infrared light.Watching his health transform wasn’t just emotional, it sparked a mission that shaped the last 20+ years of her life. And it revealed something surprising:👉 The most compelling infrared research was coming out of Asia
👉 Western sauna culture focused on heat, not wavelength
👉 And almost no one understood how certain wavelengths support detox pathways at a cellular levelEP 238 With Connie Zack @SunlightenSaunasdigs into how infrared saunas actually move the needle:✅ Why wavelength selection matters more than temperature
✅ What early research in Asia discovered about detoxification
✅ How targeted infrared supports the body’s natural clearing pathways#biohacking #infraredsauna #detoxification #sauna #longevity #highperformancelongevity #outliyr

If we could see infrared… everyone would already understand its power.Connie Zack explains that most people chase whatever is visible even when visibility has nothing to do with biological impact.This “visibility bias” shows up everywhere:👉 People assume red light penetrates deeper because it glows
👉 They underestimate nearinfrared simply because it can’t be seen
👉 Even pharmaceuticals are colored strategically because people distrust “clear” pills🎙 In EP 238, Connie from Sunlighten reveals:✅ how infrared saunas actually work,
✅ why wavelength matters more than aesthetics
✅ Hhow to choose sauna tech based on physiology, not marketing.#biohacking #infraredsauna #infraredlight #nearinfrared #sauna #highperformancelongevity #outliyr #sunlighten

Not all tech is worth the EMF tradeoff.Some devices genuinely improve health or safety, but most of today’s “smart wearables” fall into the category of optional conveniences.The issue isn’t the tech itself. It’s constant, closerange exposure when the benefits don’t justify the biological cost.Here’s the bigger idea from the episode:👉 Use tech intentionally, not automatically
👉 Devices like Oura Ring offer useful data and airplane mode — the best of both worlds
👉 Many new wearables offer little value while adding unnecessary 24/7 exposure
👉 You don’t need to throw your tech away, just choose the tools that genuinely support your goals🎙 Catch the whole conversation in Episode 237 with R Blank of ShieldYourBody✅ How to choose healthsupportive tech without fear
✅ Which wearables offer value with minimal EMF
✅ Why “alwayson” devices create unnecessary load
✅ Smarter habits for using modern tech safely#biohacking #EMF #wearables #environmentalhealth #highperformancelongevity #outliyr

Most people worry about WiFi routers and cell towers… but the real EMF exposure happens inches from your body.While you can’t escape modern technology (and shouldn’t live in fear of it), you also don’t need to accept high, chronic exposure as “normal.” The physics are simple: distance is the strongest form of EMF protection we have, and it costs nothing.But here’s the bigger picture from the full episode:👉 Your pocket is the #1 source of daily EMF load
👉 EMFs act as a dose over time phenomenon minutes matter, but hours matter more
👉 You don’t need perfect avoidance, you need sensible habits
👉 Creating distance gives your nervous system, sleep quality & biological stress load a breakThis isn’t about fear. It’s about informed optimization.R Blank gives simple upgrades anyone can make without changing their lifestyle or ditching their devices.🎙 Tune in to Episode 237 – With R Blank @ ShieldYourBody
✅ Why modern devices emit more power than they need
✅ How “dirty electricity” differs from wireless radiation
✅ Where shielding works — and where it doesn’t
✅ Practical tech hygiene habits for daily longevity#biohacking #EMF #environmentalhealth #nervoussystem #highperformancelongevity #outliyr

Can infrared light affect male fertility?Gerardo Gutierrez explains that certain cells in the male reproductive system contain some of the highest mitochondrial density in the body. That’s why researchers have explored how infrared may influence sperm quality — especially motility and overall cellular function.The science is early, but here’s what we *do* know:👉🏻 Infrared interacts with mitochondria — including those in sperm cells
👉🏻 Some research shows improved sperm motility & cellular quality
👉🏻 Historical data (from 1939) noted hormonal changes related to testosterone pathways
👉🏻 Modern studies are still limited — more research is neededGerardo emphasizes experimentation and fullcycle exposure if someone is exploring this area — not guarantees, not outcomes.EP 236 with Gerardo Gutierrez of Mitolux dives into the nuance, the research gaps, and what we can responsibly take away from the data.✅ What infrared actually does at the cellular level
✅ Early research on infrared & male fertility
✅ Why mitochondrial density matters in reproductive cells#biohacking #redlighttherapy #infraredlight #mitochondria #longevity #outliyr #malefertility

Avoiding sunlight may be more dangerous than you think.The takeaway?Sunlight isn’t just “vitamin D.” It drives dozens of pathways supplements can’t touch.👉🏻 Sunlight boosts serotonin, dopamine & mood
👉🏻 UVA helps produce nitric oxide for cardiovascular health
👉🏻 Infrared fuels mitochondrial energy production
👉🏻 Vitamin D is only 1 small part of the fullspectrum benefitsYour body was designed for sunlight.🎙 Gerardo Gutierrez of Mitolux in EP 236 explains why fullspectrum light exposure is a biological requirement, not a luxury.✅ Why the Swedish study shocked researchers
✅ Sunlight vs vitamin D supplements what you *can’t* replace
✅ How fullspectrum light affects hormones, mitochondria & longevity#biohacking #sunlight #mitochondria #circadianhealth #highperformancelongevity #outliyr #fullspectrumlighttherapy

My mission is to help you maximize the quality of your life, by synthesizing the best sciences from across the world, throughout history.

We'll cover biohacking, health technologies, wellness product reviews, lifestyle optimization, and much more.

My name is Nick Urban. I am a Performance Health Coach, Founder of Outliyr LLC, Researcher, Professional Bioharmonizer, and Host of the Mind Body Peak Performance Podcast.

If you're an #Outliyr interested in human optimization and peak performance... you're in the right place. Join me on my journey of finding the 20% of health hacks that yield 80% of the results. Welcome.

Adaptogens help balance hormones, boost energy without the crash, and make the body more resilient to stress by regulating cortisol and the HPA axis.
#adaptogens #stressrelief #healthtips

Adaptogens only qualify if they meet these 3 rules. Most supplements don’t, so here’s the smart way to spot the real ones.#adaptogens #wellness #healthtips

One night of drinking tanked my performance for days so I started searching for cleaner alternatives that mimic alcohol’s effects without wrecking my biomarkers. Here’s what actually worked.

Magnolia bark contains a compound called DHHB a natural ingredient shown to relax you like strong calming drugs but without the addiction or impairment. A cleaner way to unwind.#biohacking #alcohol #stressrelief

Alcohol impacts far more than just your liver. From your microbiome to your sleep, performance, and immunity this clip breaks down the real effects you never hear about.#alcohol #healthtips #biohacking

Everyone’s chasing longevity. Tracking sleep, fasting, cold plunges, supplements. But here’s the truth: most of what’s sold as “sciencebacked” longevity is just biohacker theater. It looks impressive, but doesn’t move the needle longterm. #longevity #biohacking #wellness

Elite athletes don’t just train harder they recover like it’s their job . If your sleep’s crashing, you’re getting sick more often, or your energy’s flat, you might not be overworked just underrecovered. Recovery is performance. #recovery #fitness #longevity

The longevity industry is obsessed with tech wearables, supplements, data. But real longevity? It’s not about outsmarting nature. It’s about working with it. The human body isn’t a system to hack… it’s one to understand. #longevity biohacking #wellness

Everyone’s obsessed with optimizing bloodwork, but are we missing the point? According to Goodhart’s Law, once a measurement becomes the goal, it stops being useful. Even 300 biomarkers can’t capture what’s really happening in your body. #biohacking #healthoptimization #longevity
