Description

Beyond Food by Juan Paredes and Tomas Reyes travels across nutrition, biohacking, movement, stress, and recovery in search of what the filmmakers call extraordinary health. Instead of centering one diet doctrine, it gathers athletes, practitioners, and wellness figures who push against mainstream health advice from different angles and backgrounds. The documentary is broad, sometimes restless, but that sweep is part of its identity: food matters here, yet the larger frame reaches into nervous system regulation, performance, daily habits, and self-experimentation.

About the Director / Filmmaker

Tomas Reyes and Juan Paredes, directors and producers, represent a small-scale, creator-built mode of nonfiction rather than a broadcast or studio tradition. Reyes’ public work links filmmaking with food systems, research, and regenerative-health education through Delicious Thought and related media, while Paredes appears as a close visual collaborator whose role also extends into producing. Their shared work suggests a hands-on partnership built from travel, inquiry, and independent production rather than institutional backing.

Who It’s Best For

Optimization-minded viewers who want food, performance, and emotional state treated as one conversation fit this best. A secondary fit is people sorting biohacking ambition from genuinely sustainable ways of living well.

Approach

A touring interview format holds the documentary together, moving between health experts, athletes, and biohackers to assemble a broad lifestyle thesis. Its method is promotional rather than investigative, preferring inspiration and model examples over strong internal challenge.
