    The Truth About Biohacking: The Smartest Way to Age

    What is biohacking?Biohacking is not about living forever or chasing trends. It’s about deliberately upgrading how your body and mind perform—right now. In this episode of the Nick Fong Podcast, Nick sits down with Dale Smith, a lifelong fitness entrepreneur who has spent over 50 years practicing what biohacking looks like in real life: discipline, strength training, breathwork, recovery, cold exposure, infrared therapy, and consistency over decades. This conversation breaks down biohacking in practical terms—what actually matters, what most people misunderstand, and why age is not the limiting factor people think it is. Biohacking, as discussed here, is simple but demanding:train your body, control your breath, recover intelligently, and build discipline that compounds over time. No shortcuts. No motivation hacks. Just long-term performance. Visit https://biohackspa.com/

In this episode, he reflects on how photography is evolving, why trust in images is shifting, and why certain places continue to resist simplification. They talk about Baja not as a destination, but as an experience—raw, physical, and human. A place where light, space, and presence still matter. The conversation moves through storytelling, creativity, and why meaningful work today depends less on tools and more on lived experience. This isn’t a technical episode.It’s a reflection on craft, truth, and why some places—and some stories—still have weight.

    Running Baja from Coast to Coast

    What does it feel like to run from one ocean to another—across deserts, through canyons, over the spine of Baja California Sur? In this episode, Nick sits with Hope Zak, an endurance athlete who decided that the only way to truly understand Baja was to cross it on foot. Hope takes us inside De Mar a Mar, a three-day ultramarathon that begins on the quiet shoreline of the Sea of Cortez and ends on the raw, open Pacific. She talks about waking up in Los Barriles and realizing the mountains behind her home weren’t a backdrop—they were an invitation. From the first step into loose Baja rock to the final mile on unforgiving Pacific sand, she faced exhaustion, elevation, and the kind of silence that strips everything down to willpower. Her story isn’t just about running. It’s about building a life between two countries, working as a nurse practitioner in the U.S., training in Mexico, and choosing a lifestyle that prizes freedom over routine. It’s about what happens when you push past comfort and discover the version of yourself waiting on the other side of effort. Whether you’re an athlete, a traveler drawn to Baja, or someone curious about what humans can really endure, Hope’s journey delivers a perspective that stays with you long after the episode ends. Press play and cross Baja with us—step by step.
