ANDRES PRESCHEL: THRIVING BEYOND LIMITS TO PEAK PERFORMANCE

From Childhood ADD to Biohacking and Optimal Health

ABI FALLON 2024

For years, Andrés Preschel believed there was something fundamentally wrong with his brain. Diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, he spent much of his early life relying on medication like Adderall to manage school. While it helped him focus, it also wreaked havoc on his health, depleting his energy and affecting his social interactions. Conventional wisdom told him this was a necessary trade-off—until a life-changing summer during his junior year of high school opened his eyes to a new way forward.

It was during a neuroscience program that Andrés encountered the concept of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and reshape itself. This revelation changed everything. For the first time in years, he lived stimulant-free, using exercise, nutrition, and social connection to fuel his transformation. In just three months, Andrés gained 25 pounds of lean muscle, felt energized throughout the day, and developed a clarity and confidence he never thought possible.

With this newfound understanding, Andrés boldly quit Adderall during his most demanding academic year. Instead of relying on medication, he immersed himself in the science of dopamine, neurobiology, and physiology, discovering sustainable, natural ways to support his brain and body. The transformation that followed was nothing short of remarkable—Andrés excelled both academically and athletically, all while feeling healthier, stronger, and more focused than ever.

This personal breakthrough fueled Andrés’s passion for helping others unlock their potential. He realized that no one-size-fits-all health advice could work for everyone—true wellness requires a deep understanding of one’s science. This realization became the driving force behind Know Your Physio, the platform he founded to empower individuals to discover and leverage their unique physiology to achieve peak performance.

A key principle that guides Andrés’s work is the belief that “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care,” a quote from Theodore Roosevelt. For Andrés, caring for his clients means truly understanding them, their bodies, and their lives. This sets his approach apart and drives the success stories of those he coaches.
