The Red Light Report

Evidence-Based Biohacking Pt. 1: Critical Thinking, Combating Misinformation, & Wearables w/ Elias Arjan


Listen Later

I remember when I was first seeking a way for BioLight to somehow become involved in a scientific study and have our products validated by research. It didn't take long for my path to entangle with today's guest, Elias Arjan.  At the time, Elias was overseeing an arm of Biostrap called Biostrap Labs, which he himself developed to help biohacking and wellness brands run their products through a valid research protocol -- utilizing the biometric data from Biostrap wearables -- to provide scientific evidence to support their own products. As you will learn from Elias, the biohacking landscape is tantamount to the wild wild west where there just isn't much regulation. Sound similar to the supplement industry?

 

On today's episode of  The Red Light Report, Elias talks in depth about his passion for evidence-based biohacking and how that would help combat misinformation and over-hyped marketing, ultimately empowering the consumer. He is also a bonafide expert in all things wearables and biometrics, so he shares his knowledge in these areas as well.

 
Elias Arjan is is a business professional, health and wellness educator, and biohacker. As a serial entrepreneur, Elias has started his own businesses and worked in and consulted for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and nonprofits.

Elias is ​​the CEO of Business Brain, a strategic consulting firm that serves brands in the health, fitness, and biotech industries. As the Executive Producer of Bioscience LA TV, he is working to connect the ecosystem of bioscience companies in LA county and beyond. Elias is also a sought-after educator/speaker on wearable technology, biometric science and wellness optimization; as well as the former Senior Vice President of Biostrap. He has been featured in LA Magazine, NBC’s California Live, LA Business Journal, and multiple podcasts. 
 
Elias works to optimize individuals and companies as a consultant and trainer and has been a leading proponent of evidence-based biohacking in Los Angeles and beyond. As the Executive Director of the Biohackers Collective, Elias is working in conjunction with organizers in 33+ cities worldwide to make Biohacking more accessible.
 
Elias has been featured in international publications for his work in the health, technology, and biohacking sectors. Elias is a regular contributor to the International Sport Science Association (ISSA), guiding fitness professionals on how to best use wearable technology to improve outcomes for themselves and their clients.

Get ready ​for Elias to enlighten you about the world of biohacking and help you become a more critical consumer. Enjoy!
