My guest today, Dr. Molly Maloof, provides health optimization and personalized medicine to high achieving entrepreneurs, investors, and technology executives.

Since 2012, she has worked as an advisor or consultant to more than fifty companies in the digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology industries. She’s on the frontier of personalized medicine, digital health technologies, biofeedback-assisted lifestyle interventions, psychedelic medicine, and science-backed wellness products and services.

And now – she's the author of the new book, The Spark Factor: The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient, and Feeling Better Than Ever, where she shares a biohacking program uniquely tailored to the biology of… women! Her comprehensive plan, some of which we cover today, targets mitochondria function, the power source for all cellular life.

In addition to being a business advisor and newly published author, she’s a private doctor, she instructs at Stanford, and has turned her course into a digital offering – she’s super busy and even more so informed, both by her lived experience and a wide-ranging professional expertise.
