My Interview for The Pathway to Peak Performance with Jock Putney

✨ In this conversation, I go beyond the buzzwords and share what Peak Performance really means. No gimmicks, no overpriced seminars—just the simple truths that work.

I have to admit, I was impressed by the quality of the questions. And—something rare enough to point out—the interviewer actually let me speak.

Peak Performance. Two words that, today, can mean everything… and sometimes nothing. We see endless online programs sold for a fortune to “help you reach your peak,” $15,000 seminars, or 2,000-page tomes that claim to hold the secret.

But the truth—as I often say—is that reaching the best version of your mental and physical self doesn’t require complicated, esoteric techniques. It comes down to a few simple principles, which I share in this interview (yes, it’s in English, but since I’m always sharing tips in both French and English, you’ll never run short of motivation!).

My passion for biohacking and longevity has been alive since 1998. I’m what you’d call an “OG,” an original. I’ve never drunk, never smoked, and I’ve always been mindful of my health and my life choices. But that has never stopped me from fully enjoying life. As you know, I can be quite the clown sometimes, and I tend to see life through rose-colored glasses.

Because having fun doesn’t mean stuffing yourself with brioches at a café terrace, drinking alcohol, smoking weed, nor does it mean accepting the oversized slice of cream cake at Aunt Marie’s “just to be polite.”

If your friends get upset because you don’t take seconds, they’re not real friends. And if they push you to eat, drink, smoke more—often to feel better about their own contradictions—again, they’re not true friends.

Real friends respect your life choices. Whether it’s in nutrition, sports, personal challenges, or artistic exploration, they stand by you.

I hope you’ll enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed giving it.

We move forward, together.
