Improve You
Generic health advice isn't failing you because you're doing it wrong. It's failing you because it wasn't built for your biology.
Optimize You is the European health transformation podcast where real people share the moment they stopped guessing and started understanding their own body, backed by their actual data.
Host Brent Luyckx, founder of Superhlth, former pro cyclist, Crohn's survivor talks with athletes, health transformers, and experts every two weeks. Expect real stories, real DNA results, real blood work, real change.
Not another American biohacking show. European, grounded, personal, and built on one belief: your biology is unique, and your answers should be too.

Most people assume professional athletes are the healthiest people on the planet.
They're not.
Justine Vanhaevermaet has 77 international caps for the Belgian Red Flames, plays for Crystal Palace Women in England, and holds a Master's degree in physiotherapy. For 17 years she has used her body as her tool, her income, and her identity. While knowing better than almost anyone what that actually costs.
She treated patients during the day. Drove to training in Brussels every evening. Ate dinner in the car. And right before the very first Red Flames European Championship in 2017, her knee gave out. ACL. Gone.
She fought her way back. And scored at both Euro 2022 and Euro 2025.
In this episode, Justine opens up about what elite sport really does to your body and your mind when no one is watching.
You'll learn:
Why looking healthy and being healthy are two completely different things
What it's like to be the physio and the patient at the same time
How she rebuilt mentally after her ACL tear, and what most people get wrong about recovery
What health data revealed about her body that 17 years of professional training couldn't
Why generic medical advice consistently fails female athletes
The one thing she would tell her ten-year-old self about health
