What is biohacking?

Biohacking is the desire to understand the body and mind you’ve been given and using everything at your disposal – cutting-edge technology, tools and science- to become the best version of yourself.

Everyone is an amature biohacker. Have you ever woken up tired in the morning or been worried about that midday slump and survived it by having a few extra cups of coffee? If yes, then you’ve used a biohack. Caffeine is probably the most used biohack used around the world today.

Everyday we are subjected to the stressors, pollutants, and mobility constraints of modern daily life and very few of us have the luxury of jumping off this treadmill. Thus the “mainstream” goal of biohacking is usually to live the life you need to and still have great health by managing the aging process and eventually, reversing some of the effects of aging. It requires intentional decision making in each category of your life (ie. sleep, diet, exercise) but by doing so you can increase your health by up to 15%. There’s more and more research coming out that is helping to showcase which levers we need to pull, and when you couple that with advances in technology and treatment protocols, achieving optimal health is getting easier.
