Optimizing Air, Water & Light for Peak Performance - Anthony Guastella | Ep 51


Listen Later

Is your workspace making you tired? After overcoming a 6-year Lyme disease battle, health coach Anthony Guastella reveals how tech professionals can "debug" their health by optimizing the most basic elements: air, water, and light. Learn how a simple software change can reduce screen fatigue and why the water you drink directly impacts your brain's performance.


In this episode, you’ll discover:


· The "Elemental Health" Framework: Simple, non-negotiable upgrades for your air (HEPA filters, plants), water (reverse osmosis + minerals), and light (blue-light software) that combat a sedentary, screen-heavy lifestyle.

·The #1 Mineral for Stress Resilience: Why hydration is useless without this critical component, especially for high-pressure roles.

·Hormetic Stress 101: The difference between burnout-causing bad stress and the "good stress" from cold therapy, saunas, and fasting that builds resilience.

·The Two Sleep Hacks for a Hyperactive Mind: Practical strategies beyond "sleep more" to achieve deep, restorative sleep after a day of problem-solving.

·A Mindset Shift: How to reframe health from a chore to the ultimate performance optimization strategy for sustained creativity and innovation.


For engineers, developers, and tech leaders who want to upgrade their internal operating system to match their technical skills.
