Fasting for Stem Cells, Microdosing for Clarity: The Wild Science of Personal Optimization, with Sean McCormick

What if the most powerful transformation tool isn’t something you add, but something you take away?

In this episode of The Augmented Life, performance coach and Optimal Performance Podcast host Sean McCormick joins Michael Tiffany for a no-holds-barred conversation on radical self-experimentation.

They dive deep into:

• Dry fasting for stem cell release and metabolic reset
• Tracking tools like CGMs, Oura Rings, and neurofeedback
• Why most optimization advice is just noise without personal data
• The link between psychedelics, purpose, and behavior change
• How Sean coaches elite clients toward faster breakthroughs
• And why your relationship with food, sleep, and self might never be the same again

Sean has coached venture capitalists, Navy SEALs, pro athletes, and overwhelmed executives—and he’s walked the walk himself. From 5-day fasts to red light therapy to float tank integration, this is what happens when someone builds a life around asking: What am I truly capable of?
