Dr. Daniel L. Stickler is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of The Apeiron Center for Human Potential and Chief Science Officer for Apeiron Academy. He is the visionary pioneer behind systems-based precision lifestyle medicine, a new paradigm that re-defines medicine from the old symptoms based disease model to one of limitless peak performance in all aspects of life. A physician to high-performing executives and entrepreneurs who want to upgrade their current state, he’s also an author, speaker, blogger and podcaster. He is the Medical Director for the Neurohacker Collective, a Google consultant for wearable technology, epigenetics, and AI in healthcare and a guest lecturer at Stanford University on Epigenetics in Clinical Practice.

Dr. Stickler entered medical school with a vision of helping people to create an optimized life and quickly discovered that training focused solely on treating disease and postponing the stepwise progression to death. In the search to make an immediate difference, he trained as a general and vascular surgeon specializing in laparoscopic weight loss surgery. In order to create ideal outcomes, he developed a highly successful, systems approach to health through the collaboration of a comprehensive team of dietitians, health psychologists, and exercise physiologists. After 10 years and nearly 3000 operation she came to the conclusion that the surgical approach to optimizing health was not an ideal option.
