If you’ve ever sat in a radio booth for four hours straight, you know the struggle. Between the "station snacks," the caffeine-fueled early mornings at Bob 93.3, and the sedentary life of a voice-over artist in my Richmond home studio, my health was starting to feel like a low-bitrate stream—fuzzy and lagging.
I decided it was time for a total system reboot. But instead of a generic New Year’s resolution, I went down the rabbit hole of biohacking. I wanted to see if I could use data, nutrition, and some advanced "stacking" to perform better both on and off the air.
The Foundation: Data Over Guesswork
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Step one was ditching the manual calendars and moving everything to my Fitbit. Seeing my recovery scores and real-time activity changed the game. It’s one thing to think you’re active; it’s another to see the data telling you that your "active minutes" are basically non-existent during a heavy voice-tracking session.
I also got serious about my nutrition. No more "guessing" if I had enough protein. I started tracking every meal, focusing on high-quality fuel that wouldn't leave me crashing mid-broadcast.
The Stack: Researching the Edge
This is where the "biohacking" comes in. After extensive personal research into cellular health and recovery, I worked with my wellness team to explore the world of peptides. As a radio guy, my "instrument" is my body and my voice, so I wanted to see if I could optimize from the inside out.
- Weight Management & Metabolism: I’ve been researching tools like Tirzepatide to help manage my weight goals and keep my metabolism from hitting the "mute" button.
- Energy & Recovery: To keep my energy levels high across multiple markets—from Eastern NC to Savannah—I’ve looked into researchers’ favorites like Tesamorelin and MOTS-c.
- The "HD" Look (Skincare): Being "On Air" isn't just audio anymore; it’s video, too. I started a dedicated skincare routine using GHK-Cu (copper peptides), Vitamin C, and Niacinamide.
The Real Results: Down 30 Pounds
Is it working? Let the data speak: Since starting this stack and prioritizing nutrition, I am officially down 30 pounds.
Put it this way: My focus during my shifts is at an all-time high, and my recovery after a long week of travel and broadcasting is night and day compared to last year. It’s about more than just a number on a scale—it’s about having the bandwidth to be the best version of OnAirAustin every time I flip the mic switch.
Let’s Connect & Research Together
I believe in being an open book about my health journey. If you're interested in the data or the research protocols I followed (including how I vetted batch results and lab reports), I'm happy to point you toward the communities and resources that helped me make informed decisions.
