Health Optimisation Podcast with Timbiohacker

⚡️ Most people don’t just need “more supplements,” they need better absorption and the right ratios. 💬 “Test, don’t guess. And why I love hair testing… it’s not enough to just see, ‘Oh, look, I’m a bit low in selenium, copper, manganese, magnesium.’ It’s the ratios that drive the body. When you get those dominoes improved, the whole body syncs up and works better.” — Barton Scott From hidden deficiencies and hydration myths to the nanotechnology that makes minerals absorbable, Barton Scott offers a masterclass on why most people are running on empty and explains exactly how to test, target, and supplement to correct those gaps. In this episode, Barton and Tim unpack: ➡︎ Absorption over accumulation: Why standard supplements can leave you deficient for months (or years) and how particle size and delivery determine whether minerals actually get into cells. ➡︎ Electrical humans: Hydration isn’t water alone, sodium, potassium, and magnesium govern nerve impulses, muscle relaxation/contraction, and cognitive performance, especially after heat, stress, or travel. ➡︎ The “calcium shell” trap: High calcium with low magnesium can block nutrient entry. Why magnesium is the keystone and how B6 and cofactors fit in. ➡︎ Dehydration math, real effects: Even mild dehydration can derail lipolysis, cognition, and hormones; why adding minerals can do more than another nootropic stack. ➡︎ Ratios, not lists: Hair mineral analysis helps spot the domino relationships (e.g., magnesium ↔ calcium, iodine + selenium + zinc for thyroid signalling). ➡︎ Potassium & “peeing all day”: How getting potassium right helps retain water, reduce frequent urination, and stabilize energy. ➡︎ Iodine, the sleeper: Most people overlook iodine; Barton explains why it’s a crucial bottleneck for many. ➡︎ Nanomineral approach: Designing particles small enough to mirror the body’s own delivery so benefits show up in minutes, not months. ➡︎ Barton Scott is a biochemist, chemical engineer, and founder of Upgraded Formulas, a company using hair analysis testing and stabilized nanominerals to correct nutrient deficiencies. His background in chemical engineering led him to pioneer a nano-particle process that dramatically improves absorption, with clinical trials showing breakthrough results in sleep and energy. A sought-after speaker and behavioral nutritionist, Barton’s mission is to help people restore mineral balance to unlock better sleep, energy, metabolism, and long-term health. 💡 Highlights 0:00 Intro 3:14 Minerals through an engineer’s lens: absorption as the real bottleneck 5:36 Dehydration, migraines, and bone density: where minerals really show up 7:28 Calcium vs. magnesium: the “calcium shell” that blocks nutrients from cells 9:13 Minerals as offense and defense: enzyme activation and blocking heavy metals 10:20 The body as an electrical system: electrolytes, copper, and chronic fatigue 10:56 Manganese and thyroid: cold hands, cold feet, and metabolism 13:10 Dehydration and cognition: why water plus minerals outperforms nootropics 15:16 Magnesium loss cascade: how deficiency sheds electrolytes and drives inflammation 17:52 Why “just drink more water” isn’t hydration and how minerals stop constant thirst 19:00 Hair mineral analysis: “test, don’t guess” and why ratios matter more than levels 22:46 Mercury toxicity and magnesium: how heavy metals block thyroid receptors 28:22 Potassium and magnesium: the mineral duo for heart rhythm and relaxation 29:27 Frequent urination resolved: potassium as the missing key 31:32 The most-missed minerals: iodine, potassium, magnesium and almond/calcium traps 41:34 Nanominerals explained: particle size, red blood cells, and absorption within minutes 🔎 Visit: https://upgradedformulas.com and https://www.instagram.com/askbarton Massive thank you to Upgraded Formulas for sponsoring this episode! Even if you’re supplementing with magnesium, your body might not be absorbing much of it. I used to rely on magnesium IVs twice a week - until I found Upgraded Formulas. Their Nano Particle Technology shrinks magnesium particles to a size your cells can actually absorb - up to 80% more effective than standard forms. Since switching, I’ve ditched the IVs, my sleep is deeper, and I’ve got more energy and calm throughout the day.

💬 “All of the stuff you’re most proud of, your strengths and the ways you have a competitive advantage, will often have a trade-off on the other side.” - Chris Williamson From sleep regularity and managing open loops to understanding hidden versus observable metrics, Chris Williamson offers a masterclass on what drives high performers and the costs that come with it. In this episode, Chris and Tim unpack: ➡︎ Sleep as the ultimate performance enhancer: why sleep regularity beats duration, and why simple habits (like leaving your phone outside the bedroom) make the biggest difference. ➡︎ Open loops and obsessive curiosity: how Chris’s ruminating mind, once a challenge, became his greatest superpower. ➡︎ The paradox of success: why many high achievers mistake “hard” for “valuable” and chase the wrong outcomes. ➡︎ Hidden vs observable metrics: why peace of mind, time with loved ones, and alignment with values matter more than titles, bank balances, or status symbols. ➡︎ The cost of excellence: how insecurities, trade-offs, and self-doubt fuel greatness, but can also become destructive if unchecked. ➡︎ Designing your desires: why you should ask not just “what do I want?” but “what do I want to want?” ➡︎ Tim Gray sits down with Chris Williamson to discuss the hidden trade-offs behind high performance, the paradoxes that shape success, and the deeper truths of personal growth. ➡︎ Chris Williamson is the host of the Modern Wisdom podcast, one of the world’s fastest-growing shows on human behavior, psychology, and performance. With over 900 episodes and millions of downloads, Chris has interviewed leading thinkers including Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, and Naval Ravikant. Drawing on his journey from nightlife entrepreneur to broadcaster and thought leader, Chris is recognized for distilling complex ideas into practical insights on self-development, success, and the trade-offs associated with high achievement. 💡 Highlights 0:00 Intro 00:28 The Simple Hacks That Actually Work (Sleep, Phones, and Routine) 02:37 Why Sleep Regularity Beats Sleep Duration 08:16 Childhood Passions and the Loop Back to Purpose 12:45 Obsession, Trade-Offs, and the Price of Greatness 16:33 Closing Loops: Structure vs Creativity 20:45 Stop Discounting Your Strengths 22:07 The Difference Between Hard and Valuable 24:56 Hidden vs Observable Metrics: What Really Matters 28:28 Designing Your Desires and Paying the Price 38:52 Impostor Syndrome as a Feature, Not a Bug 40:36 The Risk of Turning Life Into a Performance 43:06 Fitness, Habits, and the Fuel That Gets You Started 47:31 Why Health Should Be Treated as an Experiment 47:39 Final Thoughts and Farewell 🔎 Visit: https://www.chriswillx.com and https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx/ Resources Mentioned in the Episode Eight Sleep - https://www.eightsleep.com WHOOP - https://www.whoop.com Getting Things Done by David Allen - https://gettingthingsdone.com/ Modern Wisdom Podcast - https://chriswillx.com/podcast/

⚡️Everything we’ve got wrong about cancer - and how to actually protect yourself💬 “ Cancer is not the enemy, it's the messenger. And it's trying to tell you that there's a lot of things that are outta balance in the world around you” ~Nasha Winters➡︎ We’ve been waging war against cancer for a long time, trying to fight it, cut it out and treat it as the enemy. But what if we took a different approach? What if we saw it as a messenger, telling us that something is wrong inside our bodies - and we need to take a closer look?➡︎ Dr Nasha Winters is an integrative oncology specialist, using her own experiences of cancer to help conventional oncologists do their job better.

⚡️Feeling frustrated? Racing mind? Try this.💬 “ If the whole world actually meditated, the world that we live in would be a kinder, better place.” ~Ariel Garten➡︎ Meditation is a practise we all know we should be doing, but aren’t. Often it’s not for lack of trying - meditation can be hard, and in a world where we’re taught to be busy at all times, it can feel like a waste of time. But meditation is the key to unburdening yourself from stress, anxiety, trauma and self-doubt. Luckily, there’s a way to make it easier.➡︎ Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist and co-founder of Muse, a healthtech startup that has created a brain-sensing EEG headband that is helping over half a million people around the world improve their meditation practises. By measuring your brainwaves while you meditate, Muse gives you real-time biofeedback on brain activity, heart rate, and body movements. Ariel and Muse have been featured in the likes of Forbes, Fortune, Men’s Health, Wired and more.➡︎ In this episode, Ariel and Tim discuss what exactly is going on inside the brain while we meditate - and the science behind why it’s so effective at improving sleep and reducing stress. Ariel explores powerful moments where her meditation practice had a real impact on her life, helping her to unplug from addictions and stop sweating the small stuff. And she explores various meditation techniques and practices - and how you can incorporate them into your life.💡 Highlights(1:20) How Ariel’s passion for meditation began(9:59) What’s going on inside the brain during meditation?(11:59) Decreasing stress and cortisol(18:59) How meditation improves attention and focus(22:54) Your brain waves on meditation(29:32) Unplugging from addiction(38:21) Why you should measure your brain waves(42:28) The impact of diet on your brain(45:37) Can meditation help us deal with trauma?(49:17) The different types of meditation(53:17) How meditation influences pain(55:06) You don’t need an “empty” mind(51:15) How Muse is used by pro athletes(57:41) Advancements in AI and neurotechnology🔎 Visit: https://www.instagram.com/ariels_musings/https://choosemuse.com/ A huge thank you to MUSE for sponsoring this episode!Getting results from meditation can be slow - Your meditation app might tell you to focus, but it has no idea what's actually happening in your brain or with your neurotransmitters.Muse neurofeedback shortcuts this. By using advanced EEG sensors to track your brain activity, heart rate and movement in real-time, it’s actually tracking how your body and mind are responding to meditation. When your mind is calm, you hear soothing nature sounds. When it wanders, the sounds shift - it basically sees what's going on inside your brain in real time.

⚡️Easy ways to go paleo, live primal and add years to your life - without restriction💬 “ The essence of the primal movement is, when in doubt, go back to the ancestral model and emulate that in the real world.” ~Mark Sisson➡︎ The modern world and all its comforts are causing us pain and making us sick. Our bodies did not evolve to live like this - to sit for hours on end, or to chug down ultra-processed food every 3 hours. The solution? Go primal.➡︎ Mark Sisson is widely known as the founding father of the ancestral health movement and the paleo diet. His focus is on getting us to eat and move like our ancestors, to extend the healthy years we have on this planet. He’s the author of The Primal Blueprint, The Keto Reset Diet and The Primal Connection. And his latest book is titled Born To Walk.➡︎ In this episode, Mark and Tim discuss the core tenants of the Primal Blueprint, and how you can easily incorporate these into your life. They dismantle the misconceptions around the Paleo diet, explaining just how abundant your food choices can be. They discuss the many health benefits of going barefoot (or wearing barefoot shoes).

⚡️Why seed oils are destroying your health - and what to eat instead.💬 “ Seed oils are the root cause of literally every chronic disease.” ~Cate Shanahan➡︎ Seed oils are absolutely everywhere in our diets - whether it’s canola oil, soybean, sunflower of corn, this cheap and nasty stuff fills so much of the packaged food we pick up from the supermarket. But it’s no coincidence that the rise in seed oil consumption is coupled with a massive spike in chronic diseases worldwide.➡︎ Dr Cate Shanahan is the author of one of the most impactful books in the health and longevity space, Dark Calories. Known as “The Mother of the No Seed Oil Movement”, she’s dedicated 20 years of her life to uncovering the true harms that seed oils have on our bodies - from causing chronic inflammation to promoting weight gain, skin issues and even cancer.➡︎ In this episode, Cate and Tim discuss the real science behind seed oils, and how they promote oxidation and inflammation, wreaking havoc on our health. They deconstruct the big lie sold to us by mainstream media and health authorities that seed oils are “heart healthy”. They explain the shocking fact that a single serving of french fries cooked in seed oils is just as toxic as smoking 24 cigarettes. And they dig into Cate’s “Hateful 8” seed oils - what to avoid and what to eat instead. 💡 Highlights(2:06) What damage are seed oils doing to us?(6:18) Why this isn’t mainstream(12:29) The biggest pro oxidant out there(24:38) Seed oils are as bad as cigarettes?(34:02) Getting healthy after ditching seed oils(36:28) Seed oils make sunburn worse?(39:46) Get rid of seed oils to lose weight(43:24) Avoid these “healthy” foods(49:02) Eat this instead(51:29) Cate’s 5 favourite supplements🔎 Visit: https://drcate.com/ A huge thank you to GOOD PHATS for sponsoring this episode!Seed oils are a MAJOR cause of inflammation and poor health, but GOOD PHATS has the solution.

What your doctor prescribes for you.” ~Dr Aseem Malhotra➡︎ By 2030, 23.6 million people will die EVERY YEAR from heart disease.

⚡️Functional medicine will transform your health - how to change your gene expression & protect your immune system!💬 “Our immune system is unbelievably intelligent and it has a mastery that we still are only starting to fully understand” ~Dr Jeffrey Bland➡︎ Functional medicine started in the 1990s thanks to the incredible Dr Jeffrey Bland.

How we CAN control our health despite our genes, by changing the way they express themselves. Why immune “boosting” doesn’t work and why we should be looking instead at “immuno-rejuvination”.
