Andy comes on Bulletproof Radio to talk about how he engineered his own resilience after a debilitating car accident using a Bulletproof lifestyle and a whole lot of gratitude. On this episode you will learn Andy’s hacks for having great skin and looking good, why he loves sardines so much, and how he got hit by two cars and was back on the runway in just 3 short months. Three words: deer placenta smoothies! Andy’s a great guy with a ton of passion behind his success.  Enjoy the show!

Andy Hnilo is 32 years old and lives in Los Angeles, CA. As an athlete all of his life, he excelled in baseball and football, earned a baseball scholarship to UC Berkeley and turned down an opportunity to play professional baseball when he landed a role on daytime soap opera, “Days of our Lives.” Andy has since kept very busy with modeling and acting – most recently appearing on HBO’s “Hello Ladies.” Andy has walked the runway for numerous clothing companies such as Calvin Klein, Oakley, Speedo, and has shot over a dozen national commercials for companies like Michelob Ultra, Geico, Nike, Mizuno and most recently Coppertone. After getting hit and run over by two SUV’s, he thought his career was over but through nutrition and relentless hard work, he has found himself in better shape physically and mentally because of it, working more than ever before.
