Matt Maruca is an 18-year-old researcher, writer, vlogger, and coach of Quantum Biology, Mitochondrial Medicine, and Optimal Human Health. He is the Founder of Ra Optics, a company that makes products to help people minimize the negative sides of our modern technologies and lifestyle so that they can enjoy their many fruits.
Matt began his health journey by becoming a vegetarian at age 8, and has since tested many allopathic drugs, “alternative" treatments, and diets, ultimately coming to find that the science of mitochondrial medicine is the first to have clearly proven that the cause of all “chronic” disease is mitochondrial dysfunction, the first cause of which is artificial light frequencies altering biologic cycles. He is currently focused on reversing this situation, as well as integrating the science with ancient Eastern wisdom.
In this episode, our guest is Matt Maruca, Founder of Ra Optics.
At 18-years-old, Matt is, by far, the youngest guest we’ve had on the show (and possibly the world’s youngest biohacker). But don’t let his age fool you – this guy is smart. While in high school, he learned more about optimizing health than most people do in a lifetime, and he gave the machine that is his body a complete overhaul.
When you look at nature, every other species has a lifestyle that is dictated by their environment, and they are in harmony with their environment.
But humans have changed their environment, resulting in a fundamental disconnect from what they need to nourish their bodies. As a result, we are constantly pursuing the newest health trend – but the fact that they are trends, the fact that they are always changing, proves that none of them are actually the answer.
For years, Matt found himself in this trap: he chased the newest trends and diets just so that he could stop feeling like crap. He exhausted every popular food program available, but nothing worked (of course).
Then Matt really started digging in. He started following thought leaders like our friend Jack Kruse and asking big questions: How is food used in our body, on a chemical level? How does seasonal eating play into things? Geographic eating? What is light’s role in all of this? Temperature’s? What are these mitochondria things and why isn’t anyone talking about them?
It’s time to use some common sense, holla at nature, and fix the dysfunction in our bodies.

A lot of wellness trends have come and gone over the last two decades, but there’s one trend that has continued to grow exponentially: juicing. However, juicing at home can be very laborious, and buying juices at the local juice place can be very expensive. So I was stoked when I discovered this company called Athletic Greens, who make an incredible green juice powder that contains 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced ingredients that work together to fill the nutritional gap in your diet, increase energy and focus, aid with digestion, and support a healthy immune system without the need to take multiple products or synthetic products. So, if you're ready to get down with some Athletic Greens, they are offering my audience a free one-year supply of vitamin D and five free travel packs. Just go to athleticgreens.com/lifestylist to get your FREE year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs with your first purchase.
64% of the U.S. population is already drinking coffee, but 100% of us should be drinking Four Sigmatic coffee — because it’s more than just coffee!
