What do intermittent fasting, clean wine, nicotine patches, and EMF-blocking headphones have in common? According to biohacker, podcaster, and entrepreneur Melanie Avalon—more than you might think.

In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, R Blank sits down with Melanie to unpack her unique approach to health optimization. From turning modern tech against itself for better living, to why she only drinks low-alcohol European wine, to her obsession with product purity (supplements, coffee, and even dating apps!), this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew about “healthy habits.”

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Melanie’s definition of biohacking and why “modern” tools can help you live more like your ancestors.

  • The surprising science behind wine and longevity—and why most wine labels are hiding something from you.

  • Why nicotine patches (yes, really) are part of her focus and productivity routine.

  • The hidden toxins in your coffee cup and how Melanie is working to fix it.

  • How her upcoming dating app will filter matches by dietary and drinking preferences.

  • And so much more…

If you’ve ever wondered how someone can juggle multiple wellness ventures while still making time for a nightly wine ritual, this episode is your blueprint.

It’s part science, part lifestyle design, and part insider look at the health-tech industry—told with honesty, curiosity, and more than a little humor.

Listen in and rethink how you define “healthy living” in a tech-saturated world.
