Geoffrey Woo (@geoffreywoo) is co-founder and CEO of HVMN, a research-driven company that provides nutrition to elite performers in sport and military. HVMN makes HVMN Ketone, the world's first ketone ester drink based on technology developed in a DARPA program to enhance soldier performance.
In early 2016, Geoffrey started experimenting with intermittent fasting to activate metabolic pathways associated with longevity and cognitive function. To make the science and physiology behind the benefits of fasting more accessible, Geoffrey started WeFast, one of the largest online intermittent fasting communities, and became a widely cited spokesperson for intermittent fasting in the media.
Geoffrey is a serial entrepreneur. He previously was CEO and co-founder of Glassmap Inc., a software technology company backed by YCombinator, a top venture capital group, and acquired by Groupon ($GRPN).
In our wide-ranging conversation, we cover many things, including:
- How diet impacts mental and physical performance
- The blood boy billionaires and methods of extending human life
- Why fasting and intermittent fasting are fast becoming the rage in Silicon Valley
- The ways top performers are enhancing themselves without resorting to harmful drugs
- Why we may be headed towards different species of humans
The DARPA/US military science on superhuman performance
- How health, happiness and sleep affect human performance and success
- Why science often takes a long time to catch up to practice
- The reason the healthcare system is so screwed up
- Where we are headed with quantified-self movement
- Why Geoff is very excited about IoT and it's self-enhancement abilities
