Your Fountain of Youth, pt 3 - Andy Hnilo - From Model to Roadkill to Global Skincare Entrepreneur!

Introducing you to my friend, Andy Hnilo. Andy’s journey is a compelling story of resilience and innovation. He was on target for a successful modeling/acting career (after deciding to pursue that instead of professional baseball) but was violently struck by a car while riding his bike in LA one day in 2011. The severe accident left him in the ICU with significant injuries including multiple facial fractures and contusions. His career goals now seemed impossible.

However… after Andy began the rehabilitation process, he embarked on a personal quest to heal and rejuvenate his skin. This quest led him to develop his own natural skincare products, blending his passion for well-being with meticulous research. Believe it or not, Andy started by blending different ingredients in a kiddie pool in his garage, looking for the right formula that would heal his injuries, and the flagship Alitura clay mask product was the result... and it rocks!

Andy’s dedication not only transformed his own recovery, as evidenced by the before and after pic above, but also birthed Alitura Naturals. I’ve had significant results using Alitura products since first hearing about them when Andy spoke at Dave Asprey’s third Biohacking Conference in Pasadena in (I think) 2015, and many of my biohacking friends have as well.

The brand stands out for its commitment to all-natural, organic ingredients, sourced globally and crafted with care. Andy's story, from disfiguring tragedy to becoming a skincare entrepreneur of a multi-million dollar global skin care company, is a testament to the power of self-healing and the pursuit of holistic wellness, as well as the will to overcome what seemed like insurmountable odds.

His journey is not just about creating a successful skincare line but also about inspiring others to embrace natural, health-focused living. Alitura is almost a rite of passage in biohacking circles. Between Alitura and Oura rings you can pretty much guarantee someone is a biohacker!
