January 1st marks a chance to start new habits, shed old ones, and try and improve our lives. What if, rather than making a hasty decision or half-baked resolution, you embraced a whole new way of life? Biohacking is growing in popularity as a way to get your body to function more in alignment with your goals.
Biohacking blends developments from various fields of science to “hack” how your body works to preserve youth, increase performance, or simply operate better. From simple changes for better sleep hygiene or mindfulness practices to the extremes of Bryan Johnson getting plasma infusions from his 17-year-old son to try to reverse aging.
Biohacking doesn’t have to be that extreme. Our vision of health is advancing from only exercise and nutrition to keeping an eye on various aspects of the body’s functioning and our lifestyle. Biohacking can include wearables to track your progress, new developments in herbal remedies and supplements, and even new strategies like ice baths or red light therapy.
This post brings together a few simple strategies, ideas, and biohacking basics to launch your 2025 with a fresh new approach. Here are some simple ways you can hack different areas of your life.
Sleep is vital for the body. Good sleep can support your immune system, and brain function, and even ensure you maintain a healthier weight. Proper sleep can decrease your chances of developing debilitating conditions and diseases and allows for proper cellular recovery.
Many biohackers invest in apps or wearables to track their sleep throughout the night. One simple change you can make is to avoid sleeping with your phone in your bedroom. Studies have found that sleeping with your phone in your bedroom can impact your sleep quality and duration.
Studies of teens and adolescents found using the phone in your bedroom can be problematic. It means you’re more likely to check your phone when bored or have a sleep disturbance. The blue light in phones can inhibit melatonin production which is vital for proper sleep.
Also, checking your devices can affect your circadian rhythm and social media can negatively impact your mood. Additionally, if you sleep with your phone you’re more likely to check it first thing in the morning which can increase the connection between dopamine release and your device encouraging phone addiction.
One study even found people who do not keep their smartphones in their rooms report being happier and having an overall better quality of life. This is one simple way to explore boosting your bedroom for sleep and finding how good sleep can boost your performance.
Our habits can affect our day. Everything from your morning routine to your cell phone usage can affect how you feel overall. One somewhat aggressive strategy to hack your habits is called 75 Hard.
The 75 Hard challenge is centered on 6 commitments you make for 75 days. The idea is you ingrain helpful habits through the following 6 tasks each day:
While there is much debate over how long it takes to form new habits with suggestions ranging from 18-254 days. One study found it takes around 66 days. This puts the 75 hard challenge covering this period with an additional 9 days to establish the value of these new habits.
Spoiler alert: by following the 75 hard challenge you’ll establish some helpful habits like drinking more water, eating better, exercising more, and even pride in your appearance. Plus, a regular commitment to reading can help you catch up on all those books you haven’t read yet and keep your mindset toward forward progression.
While on paper this seems intimidating many people have completed the challenge and you can find accountability partners, online community, or even commit to the challenge with family and friends.
We all want more energy throughout the day. While many can rely on coffee and energy drinks, what if there was a natural solution to boost your vitality throughout the day? Quantum Upgrade provides you with an influx of pure positive energy.
Quantum energy is net positive energy. If you remember your high school chemistry energy like electricity is the flow of electrons from different atoms. Well, certain atoms with missing electrons can try to take these from our living cells. These can be environmental pollution, old or dying cells, and certain forms of radiation.
Quantum Upgrade provides you with a field of quantum energy that feeds these hungry atoms, providing electrons to your cells, and helps protect you from environmental forms of electromagnetic radiation called EMFs. It harmonizes the area and protects you and your cells from predatory EMFs.
Studies have found that Quantum Upgrade can help with ATP production of cellular energy, and cell recovery. It can even help protect your blood cells from becoming denatured by exposure to certain technologies.
Anxiety can get the best of us and make us more likely to make stress-based decisions and react to life rather than respond proactively. Wouldn’t it be great if we could hack our nervous system to better manage stress?
The answer just might be found in a regular breathwork practice. Breathwork incorporates different forms of structured breathing including belly breathing, breath holds, or box breathing.
Breathwork naturally activates the parasympathetic nervous system. It’s also been found to help people engage with suppressed emotions and find a way to release them by crying, screaming, or even laughing.
Breathwork practices have been found in studies to improve overall mood, reduce stress, and help reduce the risk of certain conditions like gastrointestinal disorders, migraines, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma. It helps your circulation and can potentially help you heart health.
One common form of breathing is the Wim Hof method. Popularized by Dutch extreme athlete Wim Hof, this breathing is said to aid your mood. Hof also encourages the use of cold therapy. Speaking of cold therapy…
One simple way to hack your body is with cold therapies like ice baths. With an ice bath, you dunk yourself into ice-cold water from 90 seconds to about 3 minutes or as many as 6 minutes. A solid goal for the practice is 11 minutes per week.
This cold therapy shocks the body and in doing so can have certain health benefits. This shock to the system is considered an adversity trigger inspiring your body to rise to the challenge and function more effectively.
Cold plunges have been found to reduce stress by activating the vagus nerve. It positively impacts your brain while also increasing your resilience. By regularly and intentionally exposing yourself to an intense physiological response you establish more mental resilience. The more you handle the shock of the ice bath the more your brain can maintain its composure during stressful times.
Ice baths have been found to help increase dopamine for up to 6 hours which can help with depression. If an ice bath seems too extreme one study found that even 2 short cold showers could help with managing depression.
Biohacking might seem intimidating to the average person especially if you’ve never heard of it. However, it’s a new way of looking at health and your relationship with your body. Rather than pathologizing what could go wrong, what if you just focused on helping it perform its best?
By blending scientific innovations and strategies you can look at how to optimize your body’s performance, address any problematic habits, and ensure that you and your body can have a nice long time together.
