Ep 42 - The Military Secret Bio Hack You Need to Know - Why Peptides will Change Your Life - Dean Henry
Manage episode 374849704 series 3401714
Dean Henry became fascinated with health and fitness at an early age. He grew up in a household that was dominated by sports and was on the path to a promising athletic career before a knee injury quite literally got in his way.
It was this sudden change of trajectory in his life - alongside a peanut allergy diagnosis for his daughter - that prompted him to delve deeper into the world of health and nutrition.
As a functional medicine coach, everything Dean does centres around the belief that wellness starts from within. He helps his clients to achieve balance through natural means, whether that’s lifestyle changes like functional fitness, supplements, or therapeutic nutrition.
I’m absolutely passionate about all things health and wellness and I’m always looking for ways to live life at a more optimal level - so it was truly fascinating to talk to Dean about biohacking, peptides, gut health, and hormones.
Dean is incredibly warm and hugely knowledgeable - I could have chatted to him all day about how we can live our lives operating at the highest mental and physical level.
Did you know that peptides were a Russian Military secret? Or that there’s 40 years of data to support their use and effectiveness? Dean kindly talked me through exactly what peptides are in layman’s terms and how they can target focus areas to ultimately slow down aging and improve health.
We also talked about the monetization of health and medicine and whether a truly healthy life is only for the wealthy. Spoiler alert - it thankfully isn’t - it can be achieved by everyone.
Dean is open and honest about how to navigate the world - and that includes bad days and those days when the only solution is to eat a Magnum ice cream - truly a man after my own heart.
There’s heaps of excellent advice in this conversation and Dean’s passion for great health and immunity shine through.
Please enjoy our conversation.
