“Find the things that make you feel well, don’t follow the masses”

What does it mean to be Superhuman? How can you use diet, nutrition, meditation, and control over your mind to make your life more fun and create more impact in the world? How do the actual chemicals in your brain impact your life?

In episode 14 I share an epic convo with Spencer Coppin from Coppin Health and the Superhuman Summit. Spencer has studied traditional chinese medicine, functional medicine, nutrition, and uses all of this knowledge to help many clients with his family and their business Coppin Health.

We dig into all sorts of epic convo about all things health and performance. From superhuman augmentations to cbd to the bulletproof diet and how the actual chemicals in your brain tie into anxiety and flow states.

If you’re into how the mind and body work (like Spencer and I are) I’m sure you’ll get a ton of value from this convo!
