More About Aurimas "A.J." Juodka

In a nutshell, I identify inefficiencies in humans and optimize them by taking an interdisciplinary, Minimal Effective Dose, scientific approach. We address the 4 Pillars of High Performance – Biology, Leadership, Efficiency, Mindset through forming sustainable habits, while doubling down on the areas that are the most pertinent to your situation!

I’m an educator, speaker and coach (certified strength and conditioning specialist, high performance coach, certified nutrition coach, NLP Master Practitioner, former athlete) and I’ve helped hundreds of my clients to excel in life physically and mentally.

My interest in optimization and human performance started when I was rising from the ashes of serious health struggles; borderline insomniac, mental fog, low energy, destroyed gut microbiome, digestion problems, feeble immune system, I decided to stop listening to modern-day traditional doctors and crack the health code myself. After going down a rabbit hole of self-experimentation I transformed myself on every level and my lessons have been featured in GQ, Disrupt Magazine, Influencive, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Lifestyle, and other media outlets.

Upon addressing my health issues, I realized that there’s more to optimize – the complex human mind. I started studying subconscious patterns through NLP, hypnosis, EMDR, and behavioral psychology and built out a Human Optimization Coaching program that is based on a multidisciplinary approach.

I’ve spent the last decade in the trenches slowly unpacking the pillars of high performance, participating in anti-aging medicine, biohacking, alternative medicine, high performance, and wellness conferences.

Through my online programs, retreats, and speaking engagements I continue to help a wide range of private and corporate clients around the world experience unbelievable breakthroughs, shifts, and transformations in their health, vitality, mental and physical performance.    Check out his website right here:  https://humanoptimized.co/
