About Miguel.
Miguel zooms out. Instead of chasing the latest trend he examines the systems — economic incentives, institutional biases, cultural narratives — that shape what we believe about health, longevity and human performance. He's less interested in what works and more interested in why we think it works.
On the podcast he stress-tests claims, highlights the limits of evidence, and argues for a more personalised approach with individualised risk-reward assessments. When the evidence is thin, he says so. When something holds up, he says so too.
If Niko is the data detective, Miguel is the philosophical provocateur — always pushing conversations past surface-level answers.
