Join us for an exploration of high-stakes innovation and athlete health, and learn how we might just be scratching the surface of what’s possible in the world of elite performance.

Here we’re sitting down with Dr. Dan Turner, PhD, Director of Athletic Safety at the Enhanced Games, where athletes push the boundaries of human potential with performance-enhancing substances — under medical supervision. Dan, also a Lead Scientist for High Performance at Red Bull, is a leading expert in high-performance health and athlete safety, shares his pioneering work with the Enhanced Games and reveals how the use of substances like anabolic steroids, metabolic modulators, and even gene editing could reshape the future of athletics. With athlete health and fairness at the core, this conversation digs into the ethics of performance enhancement, the importance of sleep and recovery, and the science behind metabolic boosters.

We cover:

🧬 The Enhanced Games: A new arena for athletic competition with performance-enhancing substances

💉 Medical Supervision: The importance of safe use, avoiding misuse, and ensuring long-term health through comprehensive monitoring.

🛏️ Sleep: The ultimate performance-enhancing tool

⚡ Rad Framework: Readiness, Emotional Efficiency, and Durability - a strategic approach to mastering high performance

🧪 Innovative Substances: How metabolic modulators, botanicals, and even CRISPR technology could be the next frontier in sports.

🧠 Mindset & Performance: Coaching high performers - overcoming mental blind spots, stress management, and building resilience.

From the Enhanced Games’ mission to level the playing field to the future of human performance through genetic innovations, this conversation offers a glimpse into where sports and health optimisation are headed. It’s not just about competing harder - it’s about competing smarter.
