Fantastic content, great guests, gems galore!

Came across the Optimal Performance podcast and am loving it! Especially loved the episode with Josh Whalen, CEO of Blokes. This conversation was amazing! Learned so much about the importance of peptides and hormones! So many great takeaways! Can’t wait to listen to more episodes! Thank you!

A Comprehensive Resource

Optimal Performance is an excellent source for all things optimizing, health-inducing and just plain interesting. Sean is smart as a whip, a person who leads by example, and I know him as an athlete with exceptional ability. If I’m looking for tools to enhance my abilities to train and compete, then Optimal Performance is one of the first places I look. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Awesome podcast! Never miss an episode. Biohacking, performance optimization, personal development. I’ve learned a ton from this podcast. I’ve been turned on to so many products too. Wish Sean published twice a week!
