In this powerful episode of Optimize W(E), host Lindsay O’Neill sits down with her fiancé, Daniel O’ Keefe—an FDNY Lieutenant, decorated firefighter, and relentless biohacker. With over two decades of service, O’Keefe shares firsthand accounts of the physical and emotional toll firefighting takes, from carrying 100 pounds of gear into burning buildings to enduring a dozen surgeries and life-altering injuries.
But his story doesn’t end with hardship—it’s one of resilience, healing, and innovation. Lindsay and Daniel dive deep into his journey of recovery through cutting-edge biohacking techniques, holistic health practices, and the power of mindset, faith, and love. From red light therapy to the simple yet profound benefits of sunlight, sleep, and grounding, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to optimize their well-being.
Join us for a heartfelt, raw, and inspiring discussion about service, survival, and the science of healing—both inside and out.
