Tim first joined me in the podcast How UK’s Leading Biohacker Eats, Drinks, & Optimizes His Life: An Interview With Tim Gray. As I covered in that episode, he is known for his detailed tracking of more than 35+ biomarkers per day, frequently appears in the mainstream media to discuss practical, trackable, and immediately applicable health hacks, and is featured on over 30 podcasts a year.

After his own journey of self-healing from chronic health conditions using biohacking, Tim embarked on a mission to educate and empower the masses. As such, he created the Health Optimisation Summit, Europe’s largest health conference that showcases the best speakers from the health, biohacking, fitness, longevity, nutrition, functional, and preventative medicine spaces (including yours truly) in order to provide people with the knowledge, tools, and resources to take their own health and performance to the next level.
