“Start with your foundation. Get your health in order. Start fueling your body. When you have more energy, when you have more clarity and your body is in better shape, that carries over and you get more creativity and you’re able to put in more productive hours. It affects your relationships. You’re a happier person; you’re able to better connect. Work hard. Build your foundation. It is the basis of everything that you do and all the success that you want, deserve and can have.”

Anthony’s first book The Biohacker’s Guide to Upgraded Energy and Focus: An Uncommon System to Rapidly Optimize Physical and Mental Performance was released in May 2016 and it covers strategies to to increase healthspan, wellbeing, cognitive, and physical performance through deeper understandings of biology.
He emphasizes the importance of customization to get best results: “Generic recommendations yield generic results. Extraordinary energy, enhanced focus, and optimal performance are a product of expert customization.” Through 1-on-1 coaching and workshops, Anthony promotes specialized programs to each individual.
Some fundamental advice from Anthony DiClementi:
- Diet. Make sure that you are eating food. Paleo is usually a good framework to help stress levels. But make sure that you customize your diet for your specific body. The days of one diet fits all are gone. You need to get tested, or at least pay careful attention to the ways that you personally respond to food.
- Use the right supplements for you. Understand what will help you personally have more energy and less stress, and include those in your diet. Try to eat food in its whole form when you can, it’s better to eat the actual food than a supplement based off of it.
- Move your body, and sweat every day. Make it a part of your daily routine, and make sure it’s sustainable and fun.
- Connect to the earth. Barefoot in the grass will give you a big boost.
- It’s probably not possible or even healthy to completely get rid of stress. What you should try to do is manage stress. There are good kinds of stress, such as the stress that you put on your muscles when you work out to get into better shape. There is bad, chronic stress. This is the stress you experience when you hate your job, are unhappy, not sleeping enough, etc. Acute stress that doesn’t exceed our body’s ability to recover from is good.
- Focus on deep breathing, using correct form.
- Pick routines and habits that you can do easily every day. Don’t bite off more than you can chew with new habits.
