In this episode, we delve into the captivating journey of Caspar Szulc, a visionary entrepreneur/biohacker who is reshaping the landscape of healthcare. Through his experiences and explorations, Caspar challenges the limitations of the medical industry and seeks to redefine the very concept of medicine.
We begin by tracing Caspar's path through the medical industry, from his initial encounters with the conventional healthcare system to his growing disillusionment with its shortcomings. As his curiosity deepens, Caspar immerses himself in the history of biohacking, discovering a field that aims to optimize cellular physiology and revolutionize medical treatment.
Caspar's mission extends beyond mere critique. He embarks on a quest to blend Western, naturopathic, Eastern, and psychological medical models into a cohesive and holistic approach. His vision leads him to advocate for blended healthcare, where specialization gives way to a more comprehensive and integrative perspective.
Prevention is another crucial aspect of Caspar's philosophy. He underscores the significance of early intervention and cultivating healthy habits, especially for children. By focusing on prevention, we can proactively address potential health issues before they manifest.
Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we unravel the remarkable ideas and perspectives of Caspar Szulc. Through his relentless pursuit of knowledge and his passion for transforming healthcare, he inspires us to reimagine the boundaries of medicine and embrace a more holistic and empowering approach to well-being.

In this episode, we discuss chemical dyes - Red 40, and Yellow 5 and how they affect our emotional behaviour. We talk about the role of dyes in neuropsychiatric conditions such as ADHD and their potential link to impulsivity, "brain buzzing" and inattention.
I discuss the TED Talk - The Effects Of Artificial Food Dyes | Dr. Rebecca Bevans | TEDxCarsonCity. Dr. Rebecca Bevans is a professor and researcher with a PhD in cognitive neuroscience. Her story emerged through her experience with her son when his behaviour became "problematic". She now shares the journey of how dye-free living has changed both her son's and family's life.
Which can be watched in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQzOHAwCfXs
I share my personal experience with dyes and when I first noticed a mental effect after taking BCAAs (Branched-chain amino acids). After years of research, it turns out Red 40 was to blame.
