Episode Details

Want to learn about some supplements that you have never heard of from The World's Greatest Formulator? That is only one of many intriguing topics covered on The Red Light Report with this week's guest, Shawn Wells. Shawn is highly respected in the biohacking, keto and supplement industries and, more recently, has explored psychedelics and spiritual journeys. We cover those aforementioned subjects as well as topics from the book that Shawn released last year, The ENERGY Formula. Always articulate with a calm demeanor, Shawn is a wealth of information that is easy to listen to and learn from. 

 

Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN is a product formulator and expert in the fields of performance nutrition, longevity, fitness and supplementation. Shawn is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes.

Dubbed “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, Biohacktivitst, and Keto Authority, Shawn faced and overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical discs replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. Shawn’s health problems ultimately led him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking.

Shawn is a co-founder of the popular patented ingredients TeaCrine® and Dynamine®, which are featured or used in over 300 products worldwide. He also has worked on patents on exogenous ketones, glucose tolerance agents, amongst others. Shawn also is the CEO of Zone Halo Research, a consulting group for supplement formulations, sourcing, manufacturing, marketing, and regulatory/compliance work.

Shawn was selected to be one of the internationally-recognized experts interviewed in the globally-recognized documentary series, The Real Skinny on Fat. Shawn has also spoken on stages all around the world at conferences and has been the guest on countless podcasts.

This is an episode I will personally go back and listen to multiple times, as Shawn drops countless knowledge bombs and grounded wisdom. I hope you enjoy and, as always, light up your health! -
