In this episode of the Stephen McCain Podcast, I interview a true unicorn in the biohacking world named Alex Kikel; also known as "The Prep Coach." Alex shares his extensive knowledge about optimizing human performance through biohacking techniques that affect everything from cellular function to hormonal balance. Working with professional athletes and performers, he demonstrates how understanding the science behind our body's responses can lead to significant improvements in health, recovery, performance, and longevity.
• The placebo effect works through anticipatory responses between mitochondria, body water, and the fascial system
• TB500 peptide activates neonatal genes, essentially returning tissue to its undamaged, youthful state
• Copper peptide GHKCU can modulate brain chemistry to normalize neurotransmitter levels naturally
• Exosomes potentiate peptide actions and can dramatically accelerate healing when used together
• Sexual performance can be enhanced through proper protocols combining red light therapy, peptides, and hormonal support
• Hormones should be optimized based on individual response rather than standard reference ranges
• Most peptides can be used long-term when dosed appropriately for your specific biochemistry
• Growth hormone supplementation works best at lower doses than commonly prescribed
• Mental outlook significantly impacts physical results—viewing everything as an opportunity creates better outcomes
• Combining biological interventions with appropriate actions always works better than supplementation alone
