WHAT IS BIOHACKING?
Biohacking/bīō-‘hak-ing/ (noun):isa lifestyle that involves using science and self-experimentation, outside a traditional medical environment, to upgrade one’s biology - in an effort to increase vitality and physical and cognitive performance.
Biohacking incorporates the use of ancient wisdom, modern science and technology to upgrade the body and mind. The aim of Biohacking is to optimise the body’s self-healing and regulating mechanisms in order to achieve optimal health and personal performance.
Examples of Biohacking include:
nutrition and exercise
wearable technology
genetic testing
nootropics
micronutrient supplementation
IV drips and vitamin infusions
red light therapy
intermittent fasting
Biohacking is not a “quick fix” but rather a lifestyle change that involves prioritising health over convenience.
Biohackers take the time and energy to learn what their individual body needs. Then, using a combination of the latest technology together with some of the oldest healing methods nature has to offer, they work to optimise their health, wellbeing, performance and longevity.
If you are new to Biohacking, you can easily start with these basic “Biohacks”:
prioritising your sleep;
improving your nutrition; and
starting an exercise routine.
Incorporating the ancient practice of mindfulness into your daily life can also lead to massive improvements in your health and wellbeing. If you are into tech, there are many wearables that can offer great insights into the way your body operates.
Although it has not yet reached the mainstream, Biohacking is increasing in popularity– and not just among the Silicone Valley crew (where it first became celebrated). Expect to see many advancements in the Biohacking space both in Australia and internationally.
