Episode description

Today's episode is going to be a little different from our usual programming and encapsulates an incredible story of travel and adventure! We’ve got Kristin Weitzel, my partner in crime, and the host of the Wellpower Podcast, joining us for another installment of the Biohacking Besties!

Kristin and I just got back from a month-long trip to Maui, and it was, suffice it to say, an experience that tested the skills we preach and explore on the PODCAST. We had everything planned out, and it was easy to feel the Volcanoes of Hawaii were at times, "kicking our ASS!"

As you will soon hear, the adversity, the financial hardship, and the ferocity of nature were all incredible teachers and gave us an opportunity to sharpen our “life skills. We’re excited to share and reflect on EVERYTHING we experienced in all its magic. Let’s jump in!
