Biohacking Wisdom – with Tim Gray
After almost destroying himself physically through overwork, Tim Gray decided on a complete reboot, starting from the beginning when it came to health.
Since then he has become one of the world’s most influential biohacking experts and health optimisers. Tim joins Angela today to talk about his journey back from the brink, and to share his wisdom and experience in getting the best out of your mind and body.
Key Takeaways
- Tim was far too focussed on business and not enough upon his health, which caused catastrophic damage to his health, with his immune system essentially shutting down. Needing a complete reboot, Tim decided to focus on rebuilding his health.
- Meditation is an extremely effective way of de-stressing your mind and get your brain firing on all cylinders. Couple this with adequate hydration and nootropics to get your brain back to its best.
- In order to be at your mental best, Tim recommends a perfect balance of ketogenic diet, hydration, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and smart drugs.
- Most of the high performers that Tim knows are all sleeping properly. We need to respect sleep.
- If you are going to bed after sunset, use blue-blocking glasses to block out blue light which causes melatonin. Tim recommends using a blackout blind.
- Gut health determines our entire physical health. If we’re not chewing properly, if our dental health is not good, and if the enzymes in our stomach aren’t working properly in conjunction with bacteria, then we do not get the nutrients we need.
- The reasons we drink water are to flush out toxins, and to help move minerals and nutrients around the blood to fuel the body.
- Brain fog can be caused by lack of oxygen, lack of electrolytes, it can be that our electrical system is struggling, and ll these problems can be linked to dehydration.
- For people living in cities or towns, Tim recommends hyperbaric oxygen therapy, blue light blocking, grounding mouse mats and bedsheets. We can’t count these things out completely, but we can minimise their effects.
- Life is about prioritising health. Money becomes less relevant as our happiness grows. The happiest and smartest people are those who practice preventative health.
Best Moments

‘Meditation takes you into the “shower” moment’
’Sleep is really undervalued’
‘People really underestimate minerals’
‘You’ve got to do what you love, and to do what you love you have to be healthy’
