How to Biohack Your Burnout With AI
Can AI spot your health problems faster than a doctor?
We all know the grind: long hours, too much stress, and that feeling of burnout that never seems to go away. Traditional medicine often just slaps a Band-Aid on the symptoms, leaving the root cause unaddressed. But what if there’s a better way to get to the bottom of what’s really going on with your body?
Discover how AI-powered health tracking can pinpoint hidden issues like low testosterone and stress-induced glucose crashes. Learn how to use your own biometric data to have more productive conversations with your doctor. And find out what simple lifestyle changes can make a massive difference in your mental and physical well-being.
Listen now to learn how to turn your health data into actionable insights.
Topics Discussed:
- AI and Testosterone: Garrett shares his personal journey of using an AI chat to pinpoint a potential diagnosis of hypogonadism due to head injuries, which was later confirmed by blood tests.
- The Problem with Doctors: A major frustration is the lack of time doctors have to truly sift through a patient's complex history to find the root cause of issues like chronic stress or low energy.
- Biohacking with Wearables: Wearable tech and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal surprising correlations between emotional stress and physical biomarkers, like a fight with a partner causing a blood sugar spike.
- The Biopsychosocial Model: The conversation highlights how physical health and mental health are inextricably linked and that physical issues can often manifest as psychological symptoms and vice versa.
- Trusting Your Data: The hosts discuss the balance between trusting the data from wearables and listening to your own body's intuition, noting that the data isn't foolproof.
- Quick Fixes vs. Root Causes: The discussion touches on how Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with quick fixes like medication, rather than addressing the underlying lifestyle factors.
- The Power of Feedback Loops: Using AI and wearables creates a tighter feedback loop, allowing people to experiment with lifestyle changes and see the results faster, which helps maintain motivation.
- Burnout as a Lifestyle Choice: Burnout is framed not just as a workplace issue but as a lifestyle problem driven by priorities that don’t include recovery.
- Behavioral Change is Hard: The hosts acknowledge that knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, and that current behaviors often serve a purpose, even if they're unhealthy.
- Data Privacy Concerns: Garrett acknowledges the risk of sharing personal health data with AI but weighs the benefit of gaining health insights against the potential for data leaks.

With over two decades supporting senior executives, Garrett's unique approach integrates clinical hypnotherapy, executive well-being coaching, and the biopsychosocial science of well-being.
After beginning his career as a strength coach, Garrett discovered that physical pain often masked deeper stressors leading to burnout. His experiences as a manual therapist and clinical hypnotherapist reinforced a crucial insight: burnout isn't the cost of success—it's the result of high performance without sufficient well-being.
Following his own experiences with burnout and the tragic loss of a colleague, Garrett committed himself to redefining how success is built. For the past seven years at Gnosis Therapy, he's helped hundreds of leaders achieve sustainable high performance and deep fulfillment without sacrificing their health, wealth, or relationships.
Garrett believes that real, lasting success is achieved through your well-being, not at its expense.
