In This Episode

We’re told pain is inevitable, but what if suffering is a choice? Melanie Avalon—biohacker, podcaster, and wellness influencer—has lived this truth. After battling mercury poisoning, severe anemia, and chronic fatigue, she transformed her darkest health struggles into a roadmap for reclaiming energy, joy, and radical self-trust.


In this episode, Melanie Avalon—biohacker, intermittent fasting expert, and host of The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast—shares her personal health journey, when she battled extreme fatigue and insomnia, until she discovered the power of biohacking. She shares how tiny shifts, from red light therapy to wearing the right fabrics, have a massive impact on longevity, energy, and brain function.


Melanie also unpacks the power of boundaries—both energetic and physical—and why they’re crucial for maintaining high performance. She breaks down the science behind sleep optimization, how stress affects your health, and the biggest myths around intermittent fasting and biohacking.
