    Unlocking the Entrepreneur’s Mindset

    Did you know that Navy SEALs, some of the toughest and most disciplined soldiers on Earth, start their mission planning with emotion, not strategy?   In this compelling episode of Peak Human Labs, Dr. Sanjeev Goel sits down with Annie Yatch, a former counterterrorism analyst turned subconscious performance coach, to explore how unseen mental patterns shape our success, relationships, and health. Annie reveals how 97% of our behavior is governed by the subconscious mind, which runs at 11 million data points per second, and how unresolved childhood stories silently control the outcomes of our adult lives.   From working with Navy SEALs to helping top CEOs, Annie has developed a proven method for identifying and rewiring these hidden scripts, unlocking extraordinary performance and emotional freedom. She explains why elite soldiers start mission planning with emotion, not strategy, and how that same principle transforms business leadership and personal growth.   The conversation dives into the science of subconscious blocks, real-world case studies, and Annie’s unique techniques drawn from neuroscience, ancient Hawaiian healing, and behavioral reprogramming that help people break free from trauma patterns like abandonment, fear of failure, and scarcity. Whether you are an entrepreneur, leader, or anyone seeking personal mastery, this episode reveals how to uncover the subconscious beliefs holding you back and rewrite them to achieve your highest potential. Our Guest: Annie Yatch   Annie Yatch is the Chief Transformation Officer at Northstar Leadership, helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives break through subconscious patterns that limit their leadership potential and financial success. With over 15 years of experience guiding leaders through transformative change, Annie combines elite performance strategies with deep neurological and emotional intelligence work to fast-track personal and professional breakthroughs.   Annie's unique methodology connects the dots between unresolved trauma, leadership performance, and business growth. By identifying blind spots in the subconscious and rewiring neural pathways, she helps clients achieve remarkable results in their businesses and lives. Key Takeaways   97% of your behavior is driven by your subconscious mind, which operates at lightning speed beneath awareness. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly limit success because of subconscious childhood stories. Navy SEALs plan missions based on emotion first, a method that can supercharge business teams. What you think is “common sense” might actually be your genius zone waiting to be taught to others. Trauma patterns like abandonment, father wounds, or fear of outshining others can cap growth. Real transformation requires ego awareness, willingness to change, and escaping victim mentality. Techniques like ancient Hawaiian healing and brain probiotics can help calm the nervous system and speed up rewiring. Subconscious work is not about endless talk therapy, it is about fast, targeted breakthroughs.

    Science behind NAD

    In this fascinating episode of Peak Human Labs, Dr. Sanjeev Goel explores one of biology’s most essential yet misunderstood molecules, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), with Jari Närhi, CEO of the Finnish biotech company NADMED. Often called the “molecule of life,” NAD powers every cell in the body by fueling mitochondria to produce ATP, the body’s fundamental energy currency. As Jari explains, our cells recycle an astonishing 45 kilograms of ATP every day, a process entirely dependent on NAD’s electron-carrying function.   The conversation dives deep into how NAD works, why it is vital for cellular energy and repair, and what happens when levels drop. Jari explains that while NAD levels tend to decline with age, this is driven less by aging itself and more by chronic inflammation, illness, and metabolic stress that consume NAD. He also unpacks why measuring NAD has historically been so difficult and how NADMED’s breakthrough technology now makes accurate testing possible.   Dr. Goel and Jari discuss the science behind popular NAD supplements like niacin, NR, and NMN, the debate surrounding IV NAD+ drips, and the risks of pushing NAD levels too high, which can disrupt the delicate NAD+/NADH balance. The key takeaway is clear: NAD is central to life and longevity, but science is still catching up to understand how best to optimize it fully. With innovations in testing and continued research, NAD measurement could soon become a standard marker of health alongside cholesterol and glucose.   Our Guest: Jari Närhi, M.Sc, Chief Executive Officer, NADMED Ltd   Jari Närhi has broad executive-level experience in international business in the fields of medical technology, health services, information technology, and management consulting. He has worked in very large global enterprises as well as the very small, having co-founded several start-up companies. He also has rich experience in regulatory affairs and new product launches in the global market. In addition to his native country Finland, Jari has lived and worked in the USA and Japan.   Key Takeaways   NAD is the essential molecule powering every cell’s energy production through ATP. NAD levels decline with inflammation and disease, not necessarily with age itself. NADMED’s innovation enables accurate blood testing for all NAD forms, once nearly impossible. Oral supplements like niacin, NR, and NMN can raise NAD levels, but more is not always better. IV NAD+ drips may not directly increase NAD inside cells; their mechanism remains unclear. Healthy diet, exercise, and reduced inflammation naturally support optimal NAD function. Measuring NAD could soon become a standard biomarker in clinical testing, much like cholesterol or hemoglobin. In This Episode:   [00:00] Introduction to ATP and NAD [00:20] Podcast and guest introduction [02:09] Jari Närhi’s background and NADMED [03:02] Purpose and innovation of NADMED [03:51] Basics of NAD measurement [05:34] What is NAD?

    The Bionutraceutical Treatment of Alcoholism

    What if the pull of alcohol addiction isn't a moral failing, but a biochemical cry for help? Imagine needing 30 beers to feel "normal," your hands shaking by Sunday, and hiding morning drinks just to function at your high-pressure finance job. This was the hidden reality for Chris Scott, a man who seemed to have it all but was secretly trapped in a cycle he couldn't break.   In this profound episode of Peak Human Labs, Dr. Sanjeev Goel uncovers Chris's incredible journey from the brink of self-destruction to a revolutionary recovery. After traditional rehab failed him with labels of a "permanent spiritual disease," Chris rebelled. He discovered a suppressed science that reframes addiction as a nutrient deficiency disorder. He reveals how targeted amino acids like L-Glutamine extinguished his crippling cravings, and how the primal rush of deadlifting 600 pounds replaced the false high of alcohol.   Now 11 years free, Chris shares how his program, Fit Recovery, offers a tangible, physiological path to rewiring the brain in months, not a lifetime of struggle. This is more than a recovery story; it's a paradigm shift that challenges everything we thought we knew about conquering addiction.   Fit Recovery - Quit Drinking and Live Your Best Life - https://fitrecovery.com/   Our Guest: Christ Scott Chris Scott founded Fit Recovery to help people from around the world transcend alcohol and optimize their health. He has been addiction-free since 2014. He is the author of Drinking Sucks! and creator of the online program & support community Fit Recovery 2.0.   An entrepreneur and Professional Member of Alliance For Addiction Solutions, Chris has dedicated nearly a decade to studying alcohol recovery, natural supplementation, and fitness. Key Takeaways Alcohol addiction is often more biochemical than purely psychological. Exercise, nutrient repair, and lifestyle changes can rewire the brain post-addiction. Recovery doesn’t always mean “lifelong disease” , it can mean being fully recovered. Supplements like magnesium, L-glutamine, and amino acids may reduce cravings and restore balance. Fit Recovery combines science, fitness, and coaching for a modern approach to sobriety. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to take action. Any stage of contemplation is the right time.     In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction to Peak Human Labs [01:00] Meet Chris Scott: overcoming alcoholism [03:07] Chris's college years and alcohol struggles [05:40] The downward spiral: post-college challenges [14:36] Hitting rock bottom and seeking help [17:42] Rehabilitation and new perspectives [22:46] Origins of Fit Recovery [22:59] Discovering nutritional strategies [23:31] Experimenting with supplements [27:21] Transition to personal training [28:15] Creating Fit Recovery [29:43] Accidental alcohol consumption [33:28] Helping others with Fit Recovery [35:40] Stages of change and taking action [42:11] Final thoughts and contact information   Resources and Links Peak Human Labs https://www.youtube.com/@peakhumanlabs/videos https://www.peakhuman.ca/ https://www.instagram.com/peakhumanlabs/?hl=en https://open.spotify.com/show/5hx9R37ElxgzCrBccRWoHd?si=8atK0n82QbeL3DWg5-vjvg&nd=1&dlsi=ce0f77aa4f304724   Dr. Sanjeev Goel https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjeevgoelmd/?originalSubdomain=ca   Chris Scott   https://fitrecovery.com/ https://www.instagram.com/chrisscottfitrecovery Drinking Sucks by Chris Scott
