Dealing with health issues and chronic pain is difficult—it’s even worse when our usual medical systems don’t have an answer to your problems.If you’ve been struggling with your health and not finding answers (or relief) anywhere, then this is the episode for you.In it, I sit down with the brilliant Valerie Orsoni, a biohacker, health expert, and content creator. Valerie has been biohacking since 1998 (way before the word "biohacking" came into existence), initially to overcome serious health issues such as juvenile arthritis, fragile bones, and liver disease. When Valerie was told by doctors that there was no hope for her, she refused to give up—instead, she turned to biohacking techniques such as supplements, cold therapy, and fasting to heal her body.Today, Valerie is here to share her journey with us. She and I discuss the importance of a healthy diet, how to use peptides for joint and tissue repair, and the impact of fasting and exercise on our health.We’ll also be talking about:Why biohacking requires faith more than anythingThe amazing powers of omega-3 krillHow the FODMAP diet helped Valerie overcome digestive problems… and so much more.Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Valerie’s story (01:22)Biohacking hacks (12:41)Biohacking for emphysema?
