At 25, Joe embarked on a journey of self-experimentation. He is now a thriving writer, speaker, entrepreneur, and founder of SelfHacked, SelfDecode, and LabTestAnalyzer.
Joe has been researching health and science for over 15 years. After pre-med coursework and getting over the 99th percentile on the GRE, he decided that a PhD wasn't for him, preferring the big picture over a specific field. He regularly speaks with the top scientists in various fields to be up to date.
