Listen to this podcast: C3 Podcast
In this episode of the C3 Podcast, Dr. Lisa Piper and Wendy Cohn-Osborne, founders of CODE Health, welcome Sandy Martin, founder of BioHacker Expo. Sandy’s biohacking journey began in 2012 when she sought solutions for health issues, including cognitive decline from mold exposure. The conversation then shifts to BioHacker Expo, where Sandy, Dr. Lisa, and Wendy discuss the latest trends in biohacking, with a focus on metabolic health and regenerative medicine.
Sandy’s Biohacking Journey and Challenges
Sandy discovered her interest in biohacking in 2012 after a stressful period, which lead her to explore methods to address health issues like cognitive decline from mold exposure. She learned that depression is a symptom of this through Dr. Hyman’s videos, which eventually lead her to Dave Asprey’s work on mold. Sandy faced challenges getting tested for mold in Florida. Dr. Lisa mentions experiencing hair loss as a result of her immune system being compromised while studying for her PhD during the pandemic. Wendy discusses first meeting Sandy at the Biohacker Expo in Miami..
Expo Organization and Next Year’s Plans
Wendy expresses her satisfaction with the organization of last year’s expo, particularly noting how smoothly the event runs despite the behind-the-scenes effort. Dr. Lisa and Wendy commend the event’s organization, with Dr. Lisa noting the impressive range of people and speakers the conference brings together. Wendy confirms their reservation for next year’s event.
Biohacking Trends and Regenerative Medicine
Dr. Lisa and Sandy discuss the latest trends and innovations in biohacking, with a focus on metabolic health and regenerative medicine. They explore the role of energy, frequency, and water in human health, emphasizing the challenges of efficient signal flow within the body, particularly inflammation as a blockage. They highlight the importance of grounding and the use of subtle energy patterns to restore cellular communication. They also discuss a study indicating that frequencies between 30 Hertz and 50 Hertz can increase stem cell circulation, relating it to the trend of regenerative medicine.
Prototype Progress and Molecular Formulas
Sandy reveals she has made a prototype and feels proud of her progress. She shares that her motivation for the project is her father’s neuropathy, which has left him unable to walk. Dr. Lisa introduces a molecular formula developed by Dr. John McMichael that could potentially help Sandy’s father. Dr. Lisa suggests that a combination of Sandy’s sound bed and their molecular formula could provide significant benefits. The conversation shifts to ask Sandy about other notable biohacking products or companies that stand out to her.
Exploring Healing Devices and Breathing
Sandy discusses her positive experiences with hyperbaric therapy, the Healy microcurrent device, and manual lymphatic drainage. She credits the Healy for aiding her recovery from mold exposure under a functional medicine doctor’s guidance. Dr. Lisa and Wendy express interest in exploring devices like the Balancer Pro lymphatic drainage suit. Sandy emphasizes the importance of proper breathing for well-being.
Exploring HeartMath and Electromagnetic Field Expansion Practices
Sandy, Dr. Lisa, and Wendy explore practices for expanding one’s electromagnetic field and achieving coherence between the heart and brain. Sandy explains the concept of HeartMath and how it positively impacts the body’s energy field. Dr. Lisa highlights the benefits of conscious conversations and the need to balance self-experimentation with safety. They discuss various practices like red light therapy, epsom salt foot baths, and sound therapy, acknowledging that while some are FDA-approved, others fall under self-experimentation. The group agrees on the healing potential of these practices, despite the challenges in scientifically validating them.
Doctors’ Hesitation in the Biohacking Community
Sandy addresses the challenges doctors face in the biohacking community due to liability issues. She shares her personal experience of how doctors hesitate to explore certain conditions due to legal repercussions, even when they possess the necessary expertise. Sandy also highlights the systemic issue in healthcare where the focus on reducing liability often leads to doctors prescribing drugs instead of recommending lifestyle changes. Dr. Lisa and Wendy agree with Sandy’s views, expressing their disillusionment with the current healthcare system.
Biohacker Expo and Community Building
Wendy and Sandy discuss the upcoming Biohacker Expo in Miami, which aims to empower individuals seeking to improve the lives of 2 to 50 people. Sandy explains her focus on reaching those who have experienced health improvements and want to share their stories, believing that sharing can help dispel skepticism about biohacking. Dr. Lisa expresses gratitude for the community Sandy brings together at these events, highlighting the positive energy and high vibes they generate.
Product Recommendations and Qigong Exercises
Dr. Lisa advises Sandy to have her father try their product, specifically the “CALM” formula for nerve pain and stress reduction, suggesting a starting dose of one drop twice a day. Sandy mentions that her mother might also benefit from the “RELIEF” formula for her inflammatory knee issues. Dr. Lisa suggests Qigong exercises as a potential help for her mother. Sandy agrees to inquire about her mother’s use of a trampoline with a bar.
