About this episode
Today Ashleigh chats with her friend and personal trainer/ fitness consultant /brand builder Sam Pogue about balancing our desires for a "magic pill" or quick fix with the reality of long-term, consistent habits. They talk about the trend and subculture of biohacking; what's snake oil and what's really helpful; the importance of clearly understanding your goals before you can reverse engineer the steps needed to get there; and when "biohacking" can be fun and helpful, and when you need to simply get back to basics and build the foundation first.
