Damn. From Oxen Chambers, you've seen people have issues with those? Yeah, just for fun, because I mean, I do want to wake people up with some challenging stories. You go look up the story of Tommy Cooper. I wasn't involved in that one. And what happened in a hyperbaric chamber here recently on that. Damn.
um he's no longer with us wow from the oxygen chambers child holy crap okay but i'm not scaring people because think of all the thousands of units that they're not having that happen what i'm saying is is this willy-nilly trying all these different things okay think of it this way okay hyperbarics hyperbarics with methylene blue hyperbarics with methylene blue under exertion
hyperbaric methanol and whatever with photobiomodulation and plus nicotine. See, it's all a different thing. It makes a different sandwich. You change the composition and you're going to have a different sauce. Okay, guys. Dr. Anthony G. Beck, creator of Balance Protocol and biohacking critic. Thanks for coming on today, man. Oh, man. Nice intro. Yeah. They just go right for the juggler.
Well, it's good to have the other side on because I have on a lot of biohackers. And you're actually friends with some of these people too, right? And their physician. Yeah. Yeah. So it's good to have, I think, a little of both in my opinion.
I agree. I completely agree. You know, back in the day, I've been doing integrative and functional medicine for 30 years, right? So when I first started out, it was called the quantified self movement. It was way before it was ever called biohacking or anything like that. And it was about quantifying you and then changing those things within you. That was what it was all now.
What I have found it to become is just glorified expensive entertainment. Yeah.
You know, but I love the buyer beware thing. But at the end of the day, everybody has their right to choose, you know, on what they want to try and do and things like that. And that's why I'm just now trying to, you know, come out to the space. I mean, because I'm a clinician. I'm not a digital marketer. Most of them are in that space. Yeah.
And so what I want to do is just give your bridge the gap, you know, and give people a balanced understanding that, hey, listen, those are tools. But you need to do them in the context of something, and that something is always the individual. You have a unique story, a unique biochemical individuality, a unique genetic status. And all those come into the symphony that makes us who we are.
And so when you're just trying all the different things from, you know, copper-filled pyramids and, you know— It's just it's and, you know, different lights and gadgets, gizmos and dongles and pills, potions and powders. You really should do it based upon something. In other words, track it, get data.
