In this episode of the Neuroflex podcast, host Toby Passman interviews Mike Hardenbrook, a lifelong entrepreneur, tech executive, digital nomad, and author of 'No Willpower Required'. Mike shares insights from his personal journey through habitual drinking, eventual sobriety, and the neuroscience behind habit change. He discusses his initial struggles with alcohol during college and how his lifestyle of high achievement coexisted with nightly drinking. Mike's turning point came with the realization that he needed to change his relationship with alcohol, particularly with the approaching birth of his first daughter. He emphasizes the importance of replacing bad habits with new ones rather than relying on willpower alone, and shares how integrating mindfulness and neuroplasticity through practices such as breath work and the use of supplements helped him recalibrate his habits. 

The episode also covers the potential of psychedelics in facilitating habit change, underscoring the importance of a controlled environment and integration work post-experience. Mike highlights ongoing research into the efficacy of psilocybin and MDMA in reducing alcohol dependency and promoting healthier habits. The discussion also touches on the misconception of 'addictive personalities' and the need for a nuanced perspective towards moderation and abstinence. Mike conveys that changing one's habits around alcohol doesn't necessarily require hitting 'rock bottom' but rather understanding and addressing the root causes of one's drinking habits.

Coach Jon McLernon is the founder and head coach of Freedom Nutrition Coaching. But, he didn't graduate high school wanting to be a nutrition professional.

From Nanotechnology Researcher, to Marine Engineer (Navy), to globetrotting English teacher (visiting 45 countries on 5 continents), he's had a pretty interesting journey.
Amidst the crazy adventures of life, he went through serious trauma while living in South Africa, and his weight ballooned up to 328lbs. He grappled with PTSD, binge-eating, and medicated his trauma with food. Name a diet.  He's probably tried it. He didn’t just magically lose 100lbs overnight.

Instead, driven by compassion and real-life experience, he focuses on behavioral psychology and unravelling emotional ties to food, to help his clients not only lose weight, but to live a vibrant life that they truly enjoy, so that they never have to diet again.

As a former supplement store owner, with a background in chemistry, he's had access to and tried thousands of supplements, including a foray into the world of nootropics, and bio-hacking.  He takes a grounded and measured approach to both, open to experimentation, but unlikely to be first in line for experimental compounds arriving on the market.
