Episode #449: Renee Belz on Biohacks for the Athlete

<p><strong>Today I chat with my fellow coach and podcast friend- Renee Belz!</strong> Renee is a Biohacker, Kion Coach, and Certified Nutritional Consultant with a Master's degree in Holistic Nutrition. She grew up in a health-driven family that prioritized the fundamentals of wellness and self-care, but in her 20s began struggling with multiple health issues.</p> <p>Traditional medicine had no answers so she started addressing her nutrition and lifestyle, along with hormonal imbalances, mercury toxicity and a long battle with the Epstein-Barr virus, and biohacked her way back to health. She is now on a mission to help others regain their health through a bioindividual and holistic approach.</p> <p>Renee has also teamed up with her sister, Lauren, to help empower others to become their own biohacker through their podcast, The Biohacker Babes.</p> <p>We chat about...</p> <ol> <li>What is your WHY for being the “Biohacker Babe”!</li> <li>What is personalized health coaching and how do you do it? </li> <li>Top tips to improve fat loss (a), Recovery (b), stress reduction (c) and sleep (d) – plus for the endurance athlete</li> </ol> <p>Most of my passion and inspiration originated from my father, Gene Sambataro. He was a true pioneer in the world of Biological Dentistry back in the 1980’s, always educating himself on the most cutting edge ideas and implementing them into his practice before anyone else.</p> <p>Through watching and learning from him, I have been surrounded by holistic medicine for most of my life. However, while this did provide me with a strong foundation and valuable knowledge about holistic health and nutrition, the real fire was ignited for me to turn this into my career as I battled through my own personal journey and challenges to achieve a state of optimal health.</p> <p>There has been absolutely nothing more rewarding to me than seeing someone else get to feel the relief that I did, and watching them completely transform their life and health by simply eating the way their body actually needs.
