About this podcast
High Performance Longevity is the show for folks dedicated to maximizing their overall quality of life. I am your host Nick Urban and I’m bringing you the best minds handpicked from cognitive enhancement, BioHarmonization (biohacking 3.0), fitness, ancestral health, herbal medicine, spirituality, personal development, longevity, supplementation, and meditation.
Each episode deconstructs their world-class work into tangible steps for you to look, feel, and perform your best. We’ll leave no stone unturned whether modern topics like peptides and nootropics, or ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. You’ll learn how to re-sculpt your body, boost energy levels, improve athletic performance, and gain mental clarity.
Nick Urban is a certified Chek Practitioner, biohacker, performance coach, and has spent a decade studying high performance. Health nut or not, HPL will fill your toolbox with products, tactics, knowledge, and resources needed to live at your maximum potential.
Previously, this show was called Mind Body Peak Performance.
