From Caveman to Keyboard: Biohacking Your Ancestral Biology
Carlos Bertonatti, Clinic Director of Miami's Medical Health Institute, delivers a high-energy session exposing the dangerous gap between our ancestral biology and modern living. Opening with an unconventional biohack demonstration, Bertonatti reveals the "three silent killers" conventional medicine ignores—particularly endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that are quietly destroying our hormonal systems. Drawing from his extensive self-experimentation as an extreme athlete and his clinic's work in hormone optimization and functional medicine, he confronts shocking statistics: 93% of Americans suffer metabolic dysfunction, while EDCs silently sabotage our cellular machinery. This isn't theoretical wellness talk—it's a practical wake-up call grounded in the fundamentals that 95% of people get wrong.
The 800lb Gorilla: How EDCs Are Destroying Your Hormones
Carlos Bertonatti and Dr. Rudolph Eberwein from Medical Health Institute confront an urgent crisis in modern health: endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are systematically destroying hormonal health across all age groups. This panel discussion tackles the "800-pound gorilla" that the functional medicine community often avoids—the root cause of widespread testosterone deficiency affecting men as young as 18. Drawing from their Miami-based hormone optimization clinic, they expose how changing demographics of hypogonadism reveal a generation under siege from environmental toxins, and why addressing this crisis demands immediate action from the biohacking community.
About
Carlos Bertonatti is the co-founder and Clinic Director (Head Manager) of the Medical Health Institute (MHI), a Miami-based clinic renowned for its innovative approaches to hormone optimization, functional medicine, human performance, and longevity. A quintessential biohacker, Bertonatti's passion for health, nutrition, sports, and fitness ignited in his early teens, leading him to compete for the Argentinian ski team. His personal journey as an avid surfer, skier, and extreme sports enthusiast drove him to rigorously test countless diets, routines, and optimization protocols, distilling practical insights to help others avoid common pitfalls in wellness.
At MHI, alongside his brother Miguel, Bertonatti champions personalized, bio-individualized healthcare that rejects one-size-fits-all conventional medicine. He combines deep self-experimentation with evidence-based strategies to advance holistic wellness, particularly in areas like endocrine health, sexual performance, and vitality restoration. Bertonatti has emerged as a thought leader through podcast appearances, such as on 'Code Conscious Conversations' and 'Beyond Biohacking Brothers,' where he demystifies hormone disruptors, nutrient depletion, and biohacking for broader audiences, making complex topics accessible and actionable.
