In this episode Nick and Ben are talking with Joe Cohen, who is the founder of Self Hacked, Self Decode and Lab Test Analyzer.
Frustrated by the lack of good information and tools, Joe decided to embark on a journey of self-experimentation and self-learning to improve his health – something that has since become known as “biohacking”.
With thousands of experiments and pubmed articles under his belt, Joe founded SelfHacked, the resource that was missing when he needed it. SelfHacked now gets over 2 million monthly readers.
Joe is a thriving entrepreneur, author and speaker. He is the CEO of SelfHacked, SelfDecode and LabTestAnalyzer. His mission is to help people gain access to the most up-to-date, unbiased, and science-based ways to optimize their health.
Joe has been studying health sciences for 17 years and has read over 30,000 PubMed articles. He’s given consultations to over 1000 people who have sought his health advice. After completing the pre-med requirements at university, he founded SelfHacked because he wanted to make a big impact in improving global health. He’s written hundreds of science posts, multiple books on improving health, and speaks at various health conferences. He’s keen on building a brain-trust of top scientists who will improve the level of accuracy of health content on the web. He’s also founded SelfDecode and LabTestAnalyzer, popular genetic and lab software tools to improve health.
