I have spent more than a decade studying the science of biohacking, going back to the early days of Dave Asprey’s bulletproof coffee and diet.   Suffice it to say, I have experimented with nearly every type of biohacking diet, supplement, or device out there.   After trying everything, here is the bottom line.  Biohacking is not a one-size-fits-all. It can also be extremely time-consuming, so you want to pick and choose what works best for your specific goals.  

In this Blog, I will share with you some of the most common Biohacks as well as share with you my own personal hacks for optimizing my health and longevity.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit."– Aristotle

What is Biohacking?

Depending on whom you ask, you’ll get a different definition of biohacking. 

Biohacking comes down to something we can all relate to the desire to feel better.  Whether you just want to not be sick anymore or want to become as smart and strong as you possibly can, it is all about improving the quality of your life.  

It is about optimizing human performance. By using science, advanced technologies, and nutrition, biohackers live up to the promise of improved health, well-being, enhanced productivity, and energy levels, along with the improved quality of sleep and optimized physical activity. 

Simply put, Biohacking is all about making people healthier, happier, and stronger with the vision of creating longevity. 

Some Common Biohacks

Some common biohacking, like meditation and intermittent fasting, has been around since ancient times. Supplements are another popular tool in the biohacker’s arsenal. There’s a whole host of pills people take, from anti-aging supplements to nootropics or “smart drugs.”

Cold Therapy -. Many biohackers believe that exposing the body to cold can help burn fat faster when you’re trying to drop weight, and they recommend ice baths, cold showers, or even cryotherapy. 

#1 Red Light Therapy - The benefits of red light therapy are numerous, including wound healing, arthritis relief, collagen production, treating skin conditions, and reducing inflammation.

#2 Functional Music - Biohacking through functional music uses binaural beats and tones to synchronize our brainwaves. Whether you want to meditate or energize, there are specific tunes for whatever state of mind you desire.

#3 Cryotherapy - If you have aches and pains or need to recover from physical exertion, cryotherapy will quickly reduce inflammation and aid in muscle and joint repair. The experience is invigorating, only takes a few minutes, and can be addictive.

#5 Gratitude Practice - A practice of consistently focusing your mind on the positive aspects of life allows you to see the best in every situation when life throws you the inevitable curveball.

#6 Supplements - When it comes to biohacking, use a rifle instead of a shotgun approach. Whatever your condition, there’s a supplement for you, But choose wisely; not all supplements are created the same.

Don’t try everything at once and focus on the specific areas you wish to improve.
