Take Control Of Your Body With Biohacking

3/3/2020

​Biohacking: The process of changing our chemistry and environment through science and self experimentation to positively impact our body's function and chemistry. ​
The word "biohacking" is currently a constantly evolving, broad definition that covers anything from DIY health experiments (like changing to a Paleo diet) to high tech lab experiments (such as those in the Bulletproof Labs). At its core, biohacking is all about self improvement. It's about taking control of your body and environment to improve your overall health and wellbeing.

The Basics
Believe it or not, you are probably already implementing biohacking into your life. This could be as simple as changing your lifestyle or diet in a way that improves the quality of your life. Even taking control of your wellbeing as a patient here falls into that biohacking category!

Do I need biohacking?
Technology has been an amazing tool in the advancement of our human lives. We are now able to work from home with wifi, travel to exotic locations in mere hours and stay up late binging on our favorite tv show. But some of these advancements come with a cost to the physiological state of our bodies.

Our technology, environment, and lifestyle can sometimes lend to serious health issues because our bodies are being further removed from their natural state. Biohacking allows us to help bring our bodies back to a natural functioning state. Making small changes to your environment, lifestyle and diet through the use (or elimination) of certain science-based, biohacking technologies can reverse the damage, return your body back to a natural state, and even optimize your function. With biohacking "the possibilities are endless, but they are all rooted in the idea that we can change our bodies and our brains, and that by doing so we can ultimately become smarter, faster and better as human beings" (Robbins, Tony).

Where to Begin
You've already started! Supplements, diet, and lifestyle are all the starting changes you can make as a biohacker. We will be sharing more on this topic, including some of our favorite biohacks and products so keep scanning your inbox for our weekly newsletter!
