In this episode, Nick and Ben are talking with Steven Fowkes, who is one of the original biohackers – an organic chemist who has been hacking his health for decades. One hack was overcoming severe stage fright, which enables Steve to do public speaking engagements and TV appearances including Larry King Live. He is also a nutritional consultant, author, inventor and an expert witness. He has a broad knowledge of biochemistry, neurochemistry, nutrition, metabolism, and nanotechnology.
Steven is the moderator and blogger for Project Wellbeing (www.projectwellbeing.com), Chief Chemist of eCycle Systems, Executive Director of Cognitive Enhancement Research Institute (CERI) and Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Nanopolymer Systems Corporation.
