Andy Goram talks to Reiner Kraft Ph.D. about how to upgrade your well-being and performance by making intentional changes to your lifestyle and habits. In this episode, discover the power of epigenetics and mindful leadership as Reiner Kraft delves into the connection between the software of the mind and body.
Imagine being in the high-speed lane of Silicon Valley, working with tech giants like IBM and Yahoo. That was Reiner Kraft's life back in the 90s. But the constant pressure and relentless deadlines took a toll on him, leading to stress symptoms he couldn't ignore and ultimately steering him towards mindfulness and the concept of biohacking.
A computer scientist by training, Reiner began to view the mind and body as software and hardware, respectively. He started to explore the fascinating field of epigenetics, discovering how our genes interact with our environment, dramatically affecting our mental and physical health. This revelation transformed Reiner's approach to well-being, leading him to develop specific training and coaching programs to help others upgrade their 'mind and body software.'----more----
