10. Biohacking Fatherhood: I Almost Died and Then Became a Dad with Joseph Anew
Joseph Anew is the kind of dad who cold plunges with his kids, does breathwork in a hyperbaric chamber, and ran a Spartan race 36 hours before this interview. But what really stuck with me was how much of his fatherhood was shaped by trauma, surrender, and choosing to do things differently—from barefoot healing in the Caribbean to escaping a hospital during COVID after a traumatic birth.
We talk about what it means to parent with intention. Joseph shares the wild journey he and his wife went on—from raw vegan pregnancy to organ supplements and detox protocols—and how they used biohacking not as a shortcut, but as a way to align with what our DNA actually needs.
We go deep on postpartum recovery, RIE parenting, repairing our own father wounds, and why running is the single best thing he does for his health.
In this episode, we discuss:
What are the best biohacks for new dads with limited time?
How can fathers support postpartum healing for their partner?
What is RIE (Resources for Infant Educators) parenting and how does it shape your child’s inner voice?
How do near-death experiences and trauma influence fatherhood?
What practices help fathers process identity shifts after becoming a parent?
