The Superhuman Podcast

DESCRIPTION What's the real point of becoming Superhuman? Is it just about better health, more energy, cleaner sleep, and optimized biology? Or is there a deeper reason — a bigger "why" behind leveling up your internal machinery? In this episode, Riley breaks down the true purpose of becoming Superhuman… and why upgrading your biology is the fastest vehicle to getting everything you want in life — your business goals, your relationships, your travel dreams, your financial freedom, and the life you know you're capable of living. You'll learn: • Why optimizing your "inner engine" makes life feel effortless instead of like an uphill battle • How most people burn fuel, willpower, and energy because their biology is unoptimized • The difference between pushing with willpower vs. pulling opportunities toward you • How lab testing reveals exactly where your system is underperforming and wasting energy • The "Island A → Island B" framework for transforming your current reality • Why a Superhuman lifestyle gives you a surplus of energy, resilience, and recovery • How better biology improves focus, charisma, magnetism, and the way the world responds to you • Why health, performance, and personal sovereignty are deeply connected • How combining optimized biology with AI, systems, and tech makes you unstoppable • Why things feel easier, more aligned, and more abundant when your inner machinery is dialed in Becoming Superhuman isn't about becoming a rigid biohacker — it's about creating freedom. Freedom of energy. Freedom of time. Freedom of choices. Your inner machinery becomes the speedboat that finally gets you from where you are to where you want to be. 👉 Download the Superhuman Playbook (free) — your deep-dive guide to energy, sleep, focus, muscle-building, mindset, and more 👉 Explore 1:1 lab testing & full Superhuman optimization

DESCRIPTION Your unconscious mind controls up to 95% of your thoughts, reactions, and decisions — including the hidden forces behind your business results, motivation, energy, sleep, and day-to-day behavior. In this episode, Riley breaks down why most people feel "stuck" even when they're pushing hard — and how unconscious trauma, micro-stress, and old survival programming silently pull the brake while you're trying to hit the gas. You'll learn: • Why 60–70k daily thoughts keep most people trapped in repetitive negative loops • How unconscious trauma slows your brain like a computer overloaded with background programs • Why mainstream psychology only addresses the conscious mind — and why that's not enough • The truth about EMDR, EFT tapping, and modern trauma-release methods • How clearing unconscious baggage improves sleep, energy, focus, creativity, and revenue • The "foggy lens" effect: how trauma warps your reality, decisions, and micro-behaviors • How to reprogram your mind so action becomes effortless instead of a daily battle • Why micro-traumas before age 7 shape your current identity and drive • How to reach a state of "Superhuman Mind" where desire → action → result happens naturally If you've ever felt like part of you wants to move forward, but another part quietly holds you back — this episode explains why, and how to fix it at the root. This is your roadmap to clearing the internal blocks that affect your health, business, and performance… so you can finally create momentum without force or burnout. 👉 Get the Superhuman Playbook (with all the tools mentioned in this episode) 👉 Learn about Superhuman lab testing & data-driven optimization

Podcast Description – The Superhuman Mindset Recorded on Thompson Road, Maui In today's episode, Riley takes you on a walk through Thompson Road in Maui—one of the most inspiring places on earth—to break down the real foundation of the Superhuman Mindset. Most people try to "think their way" into a better life… But true transformation doesn't start with motivation or affirmations. It starts under the hood—with your biology, your unconscious mind, and the hidden "mind viruses" holding you back. Inside this episode, you'll learn: What the Superhuman Mindset Actually Is Why sovereignty over your health, physiology, and thoughts creates a level of autonomy that becomes magnetic to others. Biology → Mindset: Why It Starts in the Body How optimizing hormones, neurotransmitters, brain waves, sleep, and inflammation eliminates brain fog and creates a powerful default state—without caffeine or stimulants. The 95% You Don't See: The Unconscious Mind Why your unconscious mind runs most of your behaviors, thoughts, cravings, reactions, and self-sabotage… and how unresolved childhood imprints get stuck in your "mental RAM." The New Era of Mindset Work (Bottom-Up, Not Top-Down) Why traditional talk therapy only scratches the surface—while modalities like EMDR, EFT, neuroacoustic sound, and trauma-release tech actually remove the root cause. The Mind Garden: Removing Weeds Before Planting Seeds How to clear hidden emotional blocks, trauma imprints, "issues in the tissues," and mind parasites so your conscious mindset work finally sticks. The 3 Stages to Becoming Superhuman Relief Care: Feel noticeably better now Acute Protocol: Release unconscious blocks + rebuild resilience Automation Mode: Sustain peak performance effortlessly What Happens After You Clear the Root Causes • Your mental bandwidth skyrockets • You think clearly without effort • You become magnetically confident • Work output doubles with half the time • Life gets lighter, easier, and more aligned This is the beginning of an upward spiral where biology, mindset, and consciousness merge into one self-sustaining Superhuman operating system. Recorded on one of the most beautiful and energetically powerful places on Maui, this episode is a must-listen if you want to unlock the next level of who you are. Enjoy the episode—and welcome to the Superhuman journey.

Superhuman Supplementation: How to Use Supplements Without Wasting Your Money Most people are collecting a "supplement graveyard" and still not feeling better. In this episode, Riley (shooting from Maui) breaks down the real Superhuman approach to supplementation—so you stop guessing, stop burning cash on hype, and start using the right supplements in the right order to actually change how you feel and perform. You'll learn: Why supplements should never replace sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle The difference between relief care (short-term support) and root-cause care Why you might feel nothing from supplements (and what that really means) How brain fog, low focus, low energy, and anxiety often trace back to deeper issues The three stages of the Superhuman supplementation model: Relief care Acute protocol Automation / maintenance mode Riley also shares some of his go-to "foundational" supplements and how to think about them: Vitamin D3: why most people are deficient and the levels you actually want to see on labs Magnesium (Glycinate, Malate, and Threonate): for relaxation, energy, brain, recovery, and stress Methylated B-complex: for energy, methylation, and nervous system support High-quality fish oil (EPA vs DHA): when to prioritize brain vs systemic inflammation Glycine and collagen: anti-aging, joint support, sleep, and overall recovery You'll also hear: Why generic advice and random stacks usually fail How lab testing can reveal your specific deficiencies, inflammation, gut issues, toxins, and more How to move from "machine-gun" supplementation to a precise, sniper-like protocol What it means to move your "health bank account" from constant deficit to a true surplus This episode is part one, focused on the philosophy and framework of Superhuman supplementation. Part two dives into the specific beginner, intermediate, and advanced stacks.

Superhuman Tech: The Truth About Gadgets, Biohacking Devices & What Really Creates Results Most high performers jump straight to the sexy tech—cold plunges, PEMF mats, red light panels, oxygen therapy, wearables… and while they can help, they often miss the most important piece: If your internal systems are broken, no gadget can save you. In today's episode, Riley from Superhuman breaks down the real hierarchy of performance: Why tech and wearables are powerful only when paired with foundational health The biggest mistake high-level entrepreneurs and athletes make with biohacking devices The exact order you should follow: root cause → supplements → advanced tech Why you may have tried gadgets (PEMF, red light, cold plunge) and felt nothing How fixing your gut, brain, hormones, thyroid, and genetics unlocks exponential results The top devices Riley personally uses—and which ones are actually worth your money Inside the episode, we cover: Wearables Oura Ring vs Whoop — how to use HRV, resting HR, sleep stages, temperature, and daily trends to identify hidden stressors sabotaging your performance. Nervous System Tech Sensate – chest-based acoustic resonance that builds vagal tone Pulsetto – direct vagus nerve stimulation for instant calm, recovery, and clarity Why both work… and when they don't. Brain Optimization Apps How Brain.fm can 2–3x your focus, recovery, or relaxation using targeted sound frequencies. Higher-End Biohacking Tools Red light therapy, PEMF, float tanks, oxygen therapy, hyperbaric therapy, and more. When to use them, when to avoid them, and how they fit into the Superhuman performance pyramid. The Big Takeaway Tech is incredible—but only when your biology is aligned. Fix the root. Then accelerate with gadgets. That's how you get faster results, deeper recovery, higher performance, and exponential gains.

Still exhausted even after trying melatonin, magnesium, sleep hygiene, blue-light blockers, and every hack the internet promised would fix your sleep? Here's the truth nobody talks about: sleep hacks treat symptoms — not systems. If your internal operating systems are misfiring, no supplement or gadget will save your sleep. In this episode, I break down the real root causes behind stubborn insomnia, middle-of-the-night wakeups, grogginess, and low energy… and why your sleep won't improve until you fix these core systems: What You'll Learn in This Episode Why melatonin & magnesium aren't fixing your sleep — and why they leave you groggy The #1 hidden reason you feel wired at night but tired all day (hint: cortisol timing) How broken circadian rhythms override even the best sleep routines The connection between GABA, serotonin, gut health & nutrient deficiencies Why your brain literally can't make the neurotransmitters you need for deep sleep Signs of toxin overload (mold, heavy metals, chemicals) that silently sabotage restorative sleep How nervous system dysregulation keeps your brain stuck in fight-or-flight Why sleep hacks are like "putting tape over your car's check-engine light" The exact blueprint of the Sleep Operating System approach that actually works The Sleep Operating System Approach Instead of layering more hacks, high performers fix sleep from the inside out by optimizing: Hormones (cortisol, melatonin, thyroid, sex hormones) Gut health + microbiome Nutrient absorption & inflammation Detox systems (liver, gut, lymph) Nervous system (parasympathetic activation) Stress resilience When you fix the system, effortless sleep becomes automatic. You fall asleep easily, stay asleep, wake up energized before your alarm, and stop relying on sleep aids or stimulants.

How to Build a Superhuman Physique — Without Sacrificing Your Life In this episode, Riley from Superhuman breaks down a realistic, science-backed approach to achieving that chiseled, Adonis-like physique — without endless cardio, restrictive dieting, or spending your entire life in the gym. You'll learn: The key differences between fat loss, lean muscle gain & recomposition Why clarity, consistency, and the right program matter more than anything Why lifting weights beats excessive cardio for long-term fat loss How your hormones, metabolism & sleep impact body transformation The right calorie formula for fat loss and lean bulking Progressive overload principles for faster muscle growth How to avoid extreme dieting, burnout, and cortisol spikes Riley shares what's worked for him, his clients, and what's backed by data, testing, and real-world results — all designed to help you look great, feel great, and still live your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Multiply bodyweight (lbs) × 13 → Fat loss daily calories • Multiply bodyweight (lbs) × 15 → Maintenance calories • Add +400 to +600 calories → Lean bulk • Lift heavy 6–8 reps + progressive overload • Optimize sleep & hormones for better results

If you'd like to access to the 7 Figure Health Performace Cheatsheet visit www.peakform.io *MY STORY* ☉ Burnt out in finance after working 12-18 hour days. Diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, I realized pushing harder wasn't the answer. This led me into the deep world of peak performance.  ☉ 2018: Spent thousands of hours researching (and new education) on how to optimize energy, focus, and creativity. Realized true peak performance starts with managing your biology, not just working harder. This involved flying around the world to meet the best-of-the-best doctors and leaders within the space. ☉ 2018-2020: Launched my Sleep Nirvana program for entrepreneurs and CEOs. Helped clients maximize energy and focus while reducing stress and fatigue through their deep sleep. Business grew rapidly. Started traveling and speaking to high performers around the world… ☉ 2021: I realized how many people don't just need to sleep better, but actually improve their health on a root cause level. Many were just taking surface level temporary "Band-Aid" solutions without seeing any actual progress. That's when I saw testing (not guessing) with lab testing to see health and peak performance issues at a root cause level was needed.   ☉ 2022: The Peak Perform model was born. A new era of health performance optimization combining cutting-edge lab testing and "health KPI" monitoring with personalized protocols customized to an individuals biology. No more guessing - just top 1% consistent energy, focus, flow, output, and more.   ☉ 2023: Things evolved and became more refined - down to a science. People's health started improving (many times struggling for years) and states of peak performance and flow became their new effortless norm. The world needs this, and I am ready to scale. ☉ 2024: Massive focus on more presence globally - this new era model of health and peak performance. People followed the system and saw results, it was that replicable. It felt massively empowering, leading to a commitment to grow The Superhuman Podcast & YouTube channel to increase awareness around the world - with the goal to help 100,000 people with their health and performance by 2026. 

In this episode of The Superhuman Podcast, we sat down with Ben Strange — an international connector, investor, and founder of Strange Investments, known for bridging high-level conversations between family offices, HNWIs, and bold founders.
