All of her podcast episodes are a fascinating DEEP dive into the topic to elucidate the practical application. <\/p>\n<p>We had a ton of positive feedback from my interview on her podcast.  Our Data-Driven Fasting Facebook Group exploded after she and Gin Stephens started raving about it all the time on their Intermittent Fasting Podcast. <\/p>\n<p>After binge-listening to her podcast with a wide array of fantastic guests, I had a ton of questions for Melanie. <\/p>\n<p>It was great to get her on the other side of the interview mic for a rare video interview to discuss:<br \/>\n&#8211; How did you get interested in biohacking?<br \/>\n&#8211; Why did you start the biohacking podcast?<br \/>\n&#8211; How did you deal with imposter syndrome?<br \/>\n&#8211; How long did it take to feel like you owned the role?<br \/>\n&#8211; You have experimented with a lot of different nutritional extremes.  What have you learned from each?<br \/>\n&#8211; What do you eat most often these days?  Do you identify with a particular dietary camp now?<br \/>\n&#8211; What is &#8220;biohacking&#8221;?  How do you define it?<br \/>\n&#8211; Is there any free lunch in biology?  Or are we just trying to align our modern environment to align with our evolutionary biology?<br \/>\n&#8211; How can technology help us live in line with our evolutionary roots?<br \/>\n&#8211; What biohacks have you found most helpful?<br \/>\n&#8211; What biohacks have you found least useful?<br \/>\n&#8211; Supplements vs nutrients from food &#8211; what are the pros and cons of each?<br \/>\n&#8211; What have you learned from tracking glucose and ketones?<br \/>\n&#8211; What eating routine have you found that works best for you?<br \/>\n&#8211; What biohacks are you most excited about in the future?<br \/>\n&#8211; How do you think big data and artificial intelligence will change the future of healthcare?<br \/>\n&#8211; What wisdom do you have when guiding someone to find the minimum effective dose of biohacking for them?<br \/>\n&#8211; What are the pitfalls that you have encountered on your biohacking journey that you would recommend others avoid?<br \/>\n&#8211; What is the most exciting thing you learned from one of your guests that changed your life?<br \/>\n&#8211; Who are your biggest inspirations in nutrition and biohacking?<br \/>\n&#8211; How does someone find the balance between biohacking to live a better life vs living their life without overcomplicating it?   <\/p>\n<p>Links<br \/>\n&#8211;
