We’re talking about a guy who’s tested everything from float tanks in sketchy Craigslist basements to five-day dry fasts that trigger full-body rejuvenation.Sean doesn’t just talk about biohacking—he lives it. His story started young, with ADHD-level energy and parents who handed him a mantra instead of medication. That meditation practice sparked a lifelong obsession with the mind-body connection, which led to float centers, working with NFL and MLS players, 500+ podcast interviews, and more cold plunges than most people can count.In this episode, Sean breaks down his definition of biohacking, shares the wild healing effects of dry fasting, and gives practical advice on what actually moves the needle for performance and longevity, especially if you’re tired of the fluff.“I hated meditation for eight months. But when it finally clicked, it gave me a sense of peace and stillness in my heart that’s stuck with me ever since.” ~ Sean McCormickAbout Sean McCormick:Sean McCormick is a high-performance coach, host of the Optimal Performance Podcast, and founder of multiple float tank centers in the Pacific Northwest.
