The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

• 139. Mike Rashid: Why This Fitness Icon Trains at 5 AM & Fasts All Day To Achieve Peak Performance

  What if the most powerful optimization tool wasn’t a supplement or a workout plan, but the psychological resilience forged in life’s crucible of adversity? In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with fitness icon and entrepreneur Mike Rashid, whose transformation from the volatile streets of Brooklyn’s cocaine-era 80s to building a wellness empire reveals profound truths about human potential and biological optimization. The science behind Mike’s transformation is impeccable - early morning training combined with intermittent fasting creates a powerful neurobiological environment that optimizes hormone profiles and enhances neuroplasticity. What early life challenges could you transform into your greatest competitive advantage? Share your story in the comments below!
