What Biohacking Is Not

7/16/2024

Essential takeaways:

Biohacking has become a popular word to describe an array of activities and individuals.
While the “official” definition is somewhat unclear, the community that has embraced the term is overwhelmingly positive and committed to their health.
Clearly defining what biohacking is not is a great way to establish boundaries for effective use of products and practices.
If a product or practice fits any of the criteria below, it may be best to think twice or do some extra research.

Today’s version of a health-conscious lifestyle prioritizes two factors above all—food and exercise.
While they certainly have their place, a growing body of research suggests they may come second to another aspect of health—one we leave largely ignored: our circadian rhythm.

Elevate Your Function, Not Your Stress

5/13/2024

Essential takeaways:

Stress is becoming far more prevalent and accepted in today’s world and an increasing number of individuals could be classified as chronically stressed.
Exposure to a stressor creates immediate biological responses, including stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which releases cortisol to enhance functions critical to survival and slow down those that aren't necessary.
We have become over exposed to cortisol, which is negatively affecting our health and resulting in metabolic disorders, poor sleep quality, digestive issues, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
Creating a functional lifestyle means tailoring your ecosystem to mitigate stress and promote healing.

Light: The Fundamental Nutrient For Life

5/6/2024

Essential takeaways:

Biologically, we have evolved to fuel our function with natural light.
Our mitochondria utilize the sun’s nourishing spectrum to stimulate efficient production of ATP
and fight inflammation.
Nature is constantly telling a story through the day’s changing light, which our body translates
into biological action.
In order to create a functional lifestyle and achieve optimal health, we must understand and
center our actions around the sun.

The Fieldlab Method: Stress

4/17/2024

Essential takeaways:

Stress has become the normal way of life and with that, so has dysfunction.
The effects of stress are detrimental to our health at every level. Achieving optimal function is only possible through careful creation of a stress eliminating/mitigating ecosystem.
Using the Fieldlab method as a guide, we can observe the areas of our function—nourish, move, reflect, defend—and properly connect them to our life to create health.
There are a number of high impact lifestyle changes that can be made, which provide a practical defense against the dangers of stress.
