Dr. Steven Muskal: Why Your Wearables Are Making You Sicker

What if the future of human performance is not another supplement, another wearable, or another biohack, but a better relationship with your own data?

Dr. Steven Muskal has spent more than four decades at the edge of AI, chemistry, biology, and drug discovery. Before AI was cool, he was using neural networks to study protein structure. Before everyone was talking about personal AI, he was building AI-Steve, a system designed to act like a memory layer, research assistant and cognitive mirror of his own thinking.

In this episode, Steve joins Lloyed Lobo on Traction to unpack how AI, biology, food, sleep and personal data are converging into a new operating system for health and performance.

Steve shares how his work in AI-driven drug discovery shaped the way he thinks about human biology, why he believes prevention is often easier than treatment, and why optimizing your own health starts with listening to how your body responds.

We cover:

• How Steve used neural networks for protein structure prediction before modern AI exploded

• Why food needs to become structured data before it can become personalized medicine

• How founders can think about sleep, movement, hot and cold therapy, nutrition and recovery

• Why N-of-1 experimentation matters for health optimization

• How to avoid hallucinations in AI systems when real decisions are on the line

• Why the future of health will be personal, measurable and AI-assisted

This is a conversation for founders, builders and high performers who want to stop guessing and start measuring.
