We all want to look younger, live longer, have more energy, and be more productive. Many are exploring hacking their bodies as an option. These modern day strategies offer you greater control over how your body functions, boosting your potential and pushing you further. To some it may seem like a fad, to others a major wave of the future but where do you even start with biohacking?
Biohacking borrows from different fields of study like biology, genetics, neuroscience and nutrition to enhance your physical or mental performance, essentially the goal is to better control how your body works. The idea being using different tools, natural supplements or practices to hack your body to improve some aspect of your physiology.
Maybe you want to improve your general well-being, stall your cells from aging or achieve a specific health goal like weight loss, more muscle mass or a stronger memory. You can make changes to everything from your cell function to your sleep schedule, how your brain works to how your body functions. It may seem like science fiction but it’s really just using science to explore your body’s potential.
You may try using supplements to alter your biochemistry, technological advancements to augment your body functions, or techniques to clear your head or boost your productivity. Biohackers are using various fields of science to wrestle a little power from nature back into their hands. This post will give you the basic breakdown of where to start with biohacking and some of the simple ways to start your journey towards a better self.
Again, biohacking focuses on various ways to make your body function differently. Do you need more energy, maybe you want a faster metabolism, or maybe you want to fight off the ravages of aging? Biohacking borrows from different fields of science to push your body in new directions.
Any scientific endeavor begins with a goal. What do you want to know? Sure, you may see a Tik Tok and decide you want to try cold plunges or brain boosting vitamins but to get the most of biohacking starts with an agenda. After all, biohacking is such a new and emerging field research is almost bleeding edge. Focusing on your goals helps you start on the best footing so you don’t run the risk of falling for fads.
So much of biohacking is exploring new applications for existing science or incorporating new innovations. This can be as simple as how biohackers have switched to bulletproof coffee or mushroom alternatives for their breakfast beverage.
One recent study found there was not much impact of Bulletproof coffee on cognitive performance but it did impact your feelings of satiety. Meanwhile, a study into lion’s mane, common in mushroom coffee alternatives, found it boosted cognitive effects and offered stress relief.
A little more research would show you that lion’s mane is common in Chinese and Japanese medicine for gut health, strength and vigor and common in Eastern medicine. Part of effective biohacking is doing the research to discern what is scientifically backed while also exploring what works for you.
Biohacking borrows from fields like biochemistry, nutritional science, mental health, and even technology. Part of researching is deciding what you feel comfortable with. For example, let’s say you want to clear mental fog and boost your brainpower.
Do you want to explore nootropics? These are drugs designed to boost your mental functions and they range from ginkgo biloba to adderall and ritalin. Maybe you’d rather go lo-fi and use meditation or memory games? Finding the right field of biohacking can be a good start because it can help you find your boundaries, values, and help you zero in on what you’re researching.
Much of biohacking is experimental and maybe you don’t want a magnet implanted in your body or a stem cell infusion. Exploring the different forms of biohacking can help.
If you’re curious, there’s a few different approaches to biohacking:
In addition to the types of biohacking, it can also be broken down by goals. For example, some of the fields of biohacking are:
Biohacking is all about channeling your inner scientist. That involves measuring the effectiveness of the changes you’re making. After all, only you know how you’re feeling. Keeping a close eye on how effective your biohacking is going is key.
For example, let’s say you try intermittent fasting, fasting for an extended period to help with your body’s function, measuring and tracking your results can help you find out what’s working.
Biohacking is about improving function and, as everyone’s body is different, it can take some finessing. Collecting data is key. With the fasting example you may ask:
As you measure results you start to observe the efficacy of what you’re trying. You can also make subtle changes to make it work for you. Again, everyone’s body is different and part of science is innovation. Speaking of…
After measuring your results you will want to work to examine what’s working. Subtle tweaks can increase your biohacking’s effectiveness. Over time as you get more comfortable you may begin trying minor experiments of your own to see what works best for your body type and DNA.
Biohacking may seem like it’s reserved for the super rich or a passing trend but it’s a multidisciplinary approach to improving how we live and how we function. If you want a simple strategy to try, consider Quantum Upgrade. It lets you purchase a regular influx of quantum energy that has been linked to improved cellular recovery and an increase in ATP (the unit of energy of cells) production. Biohacking doesn’t need to be complex or pricey but it’s best to approach it with scientific interest and a commitment to curiosity.
